The epic tale of a floppy-haired Pope, wearing dark sunglasses, who picks up a copy of the new Look Left outside Youth Defence’s HQ on Capel Street and is possessed to read the thing, cover to cover, with James Connolly, Jim Larkin, an old white Mercedes and some trees.

No doubt he has seen the error of his ways
