HSS - St Patrick s day - why so many US presidents like to say I m Irish - Queen Mary University of London

Joe Biden is President of the United States At a crowded campaign event early in the 2020 US election race, Joe Biden was asked for “a quick word for the BBC”. Half-incredulously, Biden glanced over his shoulder, replying, “The BBC? I’m Irish,” before flashing a smile and disappearing into an adjacent room. The video gained substantial attention after Biden’s victory last November. It seemingly foretold an ominous shift in the US-UK relationship from a son of a British immigrant who loved the Queen (“A great, great woman,” oozed Donald Trump after a state banquet in 2019) to a man who wouldn’t even speak to the BBC on grounds of his Irish ancestry.

Consent classes must be carefully constructed

Consent classes must be carefully constructed March 18, 2021 12.03am Normal text size Credit: Great suggestions from Fiona Martin for teaching protective behaviours at preschool age and consent education in Year 7 (“Start consent classes by year 7: Liberal MP”, March 17).

He used them as far back as his failed presidential campaign in 2008, and he paraphrased them on the evening of his inauguration in January. Indeed, Joe Biden has gone to the Heaney well so many times that he has made fun of himself for it. “My colleagues always kid me about quoting Irish poets all the time. They think I do it because I’m Irish,” he told Chinese officials in 2013. “I do it because they’re
