And every so often uh voice-verified

A shitty comedian would get up. voice-verified

and make a couple of tongue in cheek anti Irish jokes. voice-verified

When I was voice-verified

c shocked by it. voice-verified

I think I told Alexi Sale about it afterwards and he went, Oh, that's chicken in a basket. voice-verified

That's what that is, and explained what that meant. voice-verified

But I knew those jokes. voice-verified

Not as anti-Irish jokes, I knew 'em as carryman jokes. voice-verified

So I knew the same jokes and had heard them in the schoolyard, but they were about carrymen back home in Ireland. voice-verified

So we'd taken those same jokes against us. voice-verified

And then applied them to people from Kerry. voice-verified

I found a brilliant academic folklore article. voice-verified

I was trying to get to the roots of the Kerryman Joke. voice-verified

This article written by Leah Lawthorpe. voice-verified

She did deep research and found that the Kerryman jokes they didn't exist before 1973. voice-verified

The jokes emerged. voice-verified

The Carryman jokes emerged in the London Irish community in 1973. voice-verified

Now the correlation that I see that wasn't made in this paper is and it has to be connected. voice-verified

1973 is also the same year that the Provisional IRA began their mainland campaign in England. voice-verified
