What a day for the great unwashed, the underclasses of Ireland.
By dint of Suzy D’s 39-page report into her brother Wolfey’s behaviour at the Clifden golf shindig, Wolfey’s character is now as pure and white as the driven snow. Suzy’s report, its conclusions and recommendations have been adopted unqualified by their remaining siblings, The Magnificent Seven.
“How is this a great day for the rest of us”, you ask? “Simplez” as Sergey the all-knowing meerkat says. Anyone who claims to have no knowledge of a law, a rule, a guideline or a morè of behaviour now cannot be brought to book and prosecuted for such a lack of knowledge. The old accepted norm of common-law courts is now turned on its head; from today onwards, ignorance of the law now means you get to pass GO, collect £200 and NOT go to jail.
Suzy decided that because Wolfey was on his hollers, not listening to the wireless, not reading newspapers, or being fed Intertube stuff, he was in a state of blameless oblivion regarding COVID-19 guidelines, rules and regulations. This was apparently also true of his line-manager Clarkey in their shouted consultation across a car-park.
Now if you stand up in court and say “Sorry Guv, I was ignorant of that expectation the country had of me at the time of my regrettable alleged transgression and I apologise.” His Guv’ness has to give you a freebie and you must leave the Court without a blemish on your character, your licence , or your record.
There’ll be mad celebration in the streets to-night, especially in Galway City, where the off-licences can now legally stack pallet-loads of booze on the pavements of the City for sale to the rioting mobs, in places where drinking in public is illegal. Why? Well the licensees are so busy selling booze they haven’t got time to read the T&Cs attaching to their liquor off-sales licences and the students and young people are so far off their tits on booze and other substances, they can’t read the signs posted around the West End. So they all get a pass. As for the Mill Street Guards (just around the corner) who knows, they certainly don't!!
Great day for this great little country of ours.
