PARTING SHOT

There’s been a new target for Irish ire on Twitter in the past day or so – and it’s John Cleese.

The veteran actor and comedian drew consternation after tweeting out: “But,seriously, if an Irish ‘bh’ is a ‘v’ sound, why don’t you write it with a ‘v’.”

The sentiment in response can probably be best summed up by this tweet from the Rubberbandits: “Because the British tried to eradicate our language through colonization, so we prefer not to further anglicise it by our own volition.”
