Do your Duty

Paul Hare

The BBC are at it again - this time however they're
asking everyone to vote for their favourite song of
all time. So obviously we're going to try and
mess it up for them. Go to the website:
www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/us/features/topten/
and enter your details.
In the boxes for Favourite song and Artist add the
following

Artist : Wolfe Tones
Song : A Nation Once Again
Why : 800 years of oppression


Regards,
Paul

the66electric

Come out ye 'black and tans' come out and fight me like a man...

bobzee

If you are going to it for a bit of a laff then pick a funny harmless song....like one of Dustins or something like that...don't pick something with political connotations..it gives out the wrong message...some people may find 'A nation once again' offensive....

Figlen

Hairy Paul, look at all the fuss you've caused!! Would you ever stop this nonsense and go and fix my computer!!

Figlen

By the way, I've just heard that the song is a contender for No.1 in that poll!!Hee heeee

Morn

I heard that the Wolfe Tones can't stand each other - they have to travel on separate planes and they only reason they stick at being the Wolfe Tones is because they make lots of money off of it. How patriotic

Raggamuffin

have you seen the rubbish that the wolfe tones have to come up against.

except for the odd good song like London calling the rest are god awful.

and for the record i despise wolfe tones supposed patriotic garbage. Give me the "uncrowned king of ireland" anyday#

I've gotten these emails. I always cringe with embarrasment when people, try to hijack these British polls.

It makes us look like bitter resentful backward yokels. Come on we've had independance since the 1920's, we watch Brit TV, support their football teames, listen to their excellent bands.

Let it go ffs.

joey D

All this trendy new-found tolerance has meant we have people saying things like 'The Wolfe Tones are vile nationalist scum', what the hell? Harmless gombeen men they may be, but there's no need to get on the liberal agenda bandwagon just becase people have become paranoid about offending anyone about anything. It's PC madness, e.g. 'racist', what's racist about voting for the Wolfe Tones? Absolutely nothing, that simply shows such a profound lack of knowledge about what racism actually is. Jesus people, relax, there's nothing wrong with having nationalist ideas or beliefs, just as there's nothing wrong with being a unionist... except maybe for Ian Paisley... but seriously, put things in perspective and stop shouting out what you believe to be the 'proper' or 'right-on' response, it's that kind of thing that's turning people into sheep... anyway, this is supposed to be for a laugh... I have to go now, I'm expecting a shipment of guns from Colombia...
