The irony, dear friend, lies in the fact that the UK claims already to be Christian, and in fact possesses a
quasi-theocracy where the monarch is also the head of an
established church.
Clearly the
Christian thing to do, is let the Irish go fish, as happened in the potato famine. (IMG:

Though I think it's safe to say that while the Irish are in trouble, they're doing better, relative to the UK and Europe now, than they ever have in history. They just spent themselves broke with retirement and entitlement programs, like the rest of Europe. And business is bad all over. Ouch, but that can be fixed. It's not like their kids are so short of vitamin C that they just sometimes fall over and die. Which used to happen happen to the Irish not that long ago.
