The Wonderful World of Bono — Ireland
Imperialism alive and well
by Bono
If capitalism is the meat and potatoes of globalisation, then imperialism must surely be its gravy. Or possibly its broccoli.
And while we have moved into a new golden millennium of enlightenment, it is sickening that brother is still turned against brother in the Irish struggle for emancipation.
My message to the UK is this: Hands off of Ireland right now or I will a) Come over there and give you a right good talking-to, and b) continue to record memorable and provocative anthems slamming the continued British occupation of the North. Be warned, everything the Americans know about Ireland they learned from a U2 album. I speak with the voice of millions.
