Irish on U.K. T.V.

[deiseach]

What exactly does great country mean?

Naff all. Ireland is one of the better places in the world, but this incessant desire for validation of either the positive (Ireland sure is bootiful) or negative (now that we have divorce we have finally matured as a nation) variety gets tiresome

I see Irish bird on Country Tracks on BBC she talking "we" this "we" that and "us" "Royal Navy" defending "us" against the French, the girl is Irish and one of her parents is French FFS. Talk about sucking up for the Reddies.

Meh. Davy Fitz probably refers to Waterford as 'us' in interviews, does that bother you?

He is talking about a team, he is part of that team setup.

And Bonnin is part of the British broadcast media setup.

your bang out of order mayogodhelpus on this little cutie
i want you to apologise on here to her

Why? & No. OK she is part French and part Trinidadian. But its the same thing she larking on about the Royal Navy saving "us" from the French 

She's on British TV and you expect her to refer to British services etc in the not belonging to herslf, what sort of connection would that create with her listeners ? I take it you haven't studied any form of communications or media studies !

Take it any way you want

btw I don't think anyone with a brain cell would expect her to use "we" or "us" if she's not British.
Would you expect an English person to refer to "we" or "us" on RTE if talking about the same thing? I wouldn't.

George Hamilton refers to the Republic of Ireland soccer team as 'we' and 'us'. And don't tell me that's because he's a dyed-in-the-wool Taig, he's being professional just as the Irish on British TV are being professional.

Any one with a brain cell wouldn't be getting all worked up about someone doing their job on TV, she'll not be lasting too long by not creating a bond with her viewers and probably not following the script either. I know she wasn't in the GPO with you martyrs but she'll just have to survive without your approval !

What's the story with Philip Bromwell on RTE news ? Doesn't sound like he is from Achill or Finglas !

It's not part of her job and I don't think it's necessary for her to say "we" to create a bond.

I doubt if he would have grown up supporting the Republic of Ireland soccer team. Do you think he referred to them as 'us' when he worked for the BBC?

Television producers would probably disagree, but what would they know about television?

How do you know it's not part of her job ?
Don't know anything about her but maybe she feels at home now in UK with you, good luck to her.

Why? I don't know much about his background but I see he was born in Belfast, I don't get your point. 
I've no idea what he done at the BBC.

Television producers would probably disagree, but what would they know about television?

Would you expect an English person (for example) to say "we" when speaking about the Irish on RTE? I wouldn't, I'd think it was stupid, I wouldn't feel any less of a "bond" if they didn't do it, would you?

I'm the one applying common sense to the situation when you are trying to be a media expert.
I feel at home in England but I still wouldn't refer to the English soccer team or armed services as "we" or "us".
