Welles, Churchill and anti Irish feeling..

Orson Welles was heard to tell a waitress in Santa Monica "those Irish Mick bastards are only any good for shoveling cow shit and gobbling bacon the bog trotting feckers". The waitress had asked the normally genial Welles what he thought about JFK's inauguration.

The conversation was overheard in the coffee shop by my uncles under-butler who had gone their to purchase some "Viennese Medium Roast" for my great uncle Prince Oblinski who was in town to visit Judy Garland. Prince Oblinski was a great fan of Garland even when she was turning up in 3rd rate London clubs in the mid 1960's, to loaded too remember her words and pissing herself in London taxis.

Oblinski had also told me about the time Churchill had threatened to have a company of Irish Dragoons shot for mutiny during WW1 for losing his cognac and champagne supply during a surprise bombardment by the Hun.

Churchill also hated the Irish and was heard to tell the Scot's Guardsmen under his command "that bakerlite Paddy(plastic was not invented yet), Eamon De Valera will never get home rule for a united Ireland the half yank bastard as long as I can throw a spanner in the works". Churchill then paid his men 60 bob to give the Dragoons a hiding their peat sucking mothers would feel back in County Roscommon.
