This is just plain racist.
Truly we are sliding back to the 19th century. (Thanks to Rob Cotter for the link).
Also, just stumbled on a quote of this guy's: "... how we felt with [Mumford and Sons], was like we were setting up a family business".
Unmakeupable.

Would he do this in front of Christy Moore or the Chieftains? I think not.
"Racist"? Not sure if that's the correct term for it. But: Incredibly annoying and un-funny? Absolutely. Is someone essentially begging to get their head kicked in?
Yeah maybe racist is a tad strong. But actually I think an Irish person would find this pretty offensive, wouldn't they? I'm half Irish and I find it pretty appalling: it's a green-face cartoon of the Dublin working-class isn't it, with the obligatory leprichaun thrown in?
> "an Irish person would find this pretty offensive, wouldn't they?"
I can't imagine how they wouldn't. Which was what I was getting at with that last remark. Not like -- from what I understand) the Brits don't have a history of anti-Irish discrimination in their not-too-distant past. (As well as a history of treating the place like its final colonial territory for many years.)
What the fuck?
Is that the guy (Mumford?) from Mumford and Sons? Actually, I need to go back to first principles here: is that a *promotional* video?
It's bizarre isn't it - who the fuck is it aimed at? Presumably British tourists?
Now that's racist...
