    Jeet Heer Retweeted David Lammy

    It's weird to me how English buffoons like Johnson have for centuries combined 1) a desire to maintain a stranglehold on Ireland or parts of Ireland with 2) a complete lack of interest in knowing anything about Ireland.https://twitter.com/DavidLammy/status/1045727335222251520 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    David LammyVerified account @DavidLammy
    On his prime time BBC interview, Boris Johnson goes unchallenged as he says "the Irish issue gained in salience ... not quite deservedly." Repeat after me. Peace in Ireland is more important than this buffoon's hard Brexit ideology.

        When I read this sentence I thought you were referring to an Englishman from the 1670s because I’m really tired then I recalled that’s not your field yet there’s still something to think about: your (correct) observation could have happened anytime
