Here’s Michael Flatley waving the flag to Ireland’s Call in Belfast this weekend.

1. The 50th anniversary of the CLRG world championship of Irish dance is going on in Belfast this week and there was a big to-do about Michael Flatley being there for the opening ceremonies. I find him embarrassing enough as it is but I’m especially embarrassed as a dancer because of his support for Trump and his general narcissism. (I could also do without his fake accent). Also, the CLRG wouldn’t be where it is today without the majority of their dancers being girls who largely joined in the 90s/2000s because of Jean Butler, not this arrogant creep.

2. About as good a song as Irelande Douze Points

3. He was the local Indian in Ashbourne at the weekend.

4. Met him once and he had absolutely no personality whatsoever.

5. Of all the calamitous tragedies to have befallen Éire over the centuries, Ireland’s call has to be up there with the worst of them. The true Gorta mór.

6. Ireland’s call? Pity it’s not our actual anthem but instead it’s a shame it’s the orange man’s anthem 🙄🙄
