Cormac MacConnell: In defence of the spuds that sustained us

Despite all the truly frightening noises emerging from the White House direction over recent days, for me, the most worrying development of all has been the foul attack upon the noble Irish spud launched earlier this week by some idiotic international health agency.

Would ye believe that these morons actually suggested that a feed of spuds and burnt toast presents the consumer with a major health risk?

That, incredibly, yet again, is the pure truth.
