Discrimination

Someone recently said there was more discrimination against blacks than Jews, travellers (gypsies) or the Irish; for which an apology has been offered for all those lies, an inacurate description for whom the beloved country cries. The poor Jews who were driven from golden pillar to post, what belongs to them, you wonder, maybe the holy ghost; we should not berate 'the chosen people' on a green hill, because they're still here, last time Hymie sharpened pencil. The 'gypos'settled in my car park after a second coming, from the south of France and God knows where in India; I told my son - you don't want to spend the rest of your life in a caravan do you? Cheaper but gradients may be steeper. What have the poor Irish done - that's the problem - nothing, no government - there must be better news that Mick could sing.
