Cute!

Is this supposed to be mocking him or supporting him?

I hope it's mocking as I can't hear the words clearly

@kanenkitten I've put the lyrics up. Let me know what conclusion you draw from them.

[kanenkitten]

@thetwangman: Such a shame it wasn't mocking because he doesn't even want the title as he didn't want to apply for it. By the way, as an MP he was supposed to be serving the house of commons and his contituants, now as he's been appointed as The Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead he IS now serving the Crown as it's a paid office of profit under the Crown so he is now serving the Crown he claims to hate so much directly! Irony is a great thing

[thetwangman]

@kanenkitten The intention of the song was to use that irony for humorous effect, which is mocking in my book.

[kanenkitten]

@thetwangman: Oh I see now. I must have seen differently because some of the wording originally seemed a bit iffy to me as I was looking at it from a British point of view where as you intended it for the Republic of Ireland viewer I guess?

[thetwangman]

@kanenkitten The irony of Gerry Adams having the title of Baron bestowed upon him by the Crown should be amusing whether you support Gerry Adams or not. But I suspect his loyal supporters might think the lyrics of the song are too mean while his enemies might think they are not mean enough. The fact that I used a talking bird app on my phone to make the video should make it clear that I was having a laugh.

@thetwangman: Well of course being British I do find that very funny that he is now directly serving the Crown he claims to hate

[thetwangman]

@kanenkitten Even if it's not possible for him to reject the title (which is arguable), surely he can't actually be forced to serve the Crown if he chooses not to.

[TheSmithersy]

can you put the lyrics up?

[thetwangman]

@TheSmithersy I did have the lyrics up but then I took them down as I wanted to know if people could hear them. But as they are probably difficult to hear I've put them up again.
