Irish Potato Famine Song : Rangers

The Famine Song "Defended">>

What the Hell is Gerry Adams on about ? >>

The famine song lyrics:

People love to make fun of each other and non-PC comedy is on the rise and thats awesome, but is the Potato Famine Song where we draw the line?

Some Stupid Rangers Football Fans have been singing this so called "Irish Famine song" song at an old firm game with words referring to the Irish potato famine in the 1840's. Rangers FC said it has asked its fans to stop singing the song.

"The famine's over, why don't you go home" is one of the lyrics that the song includes.

I don't like to offend people but I have posted my support of non-PC comedy but I am wondering if there is a fuzzy line here, or if there is a very clear cut difference between poking fun at someones race or sex in jest, or making fun of something like a famine, or disease.

Here are the Lyrics to the Irish Potato Famine Song if you are interested

I often wonder where they would have been
If we hadn't have taken them in
Fed them and washed them
Thousands in Glasgow alone
From Ireland they came
Brought us nothing but trouble and shame
Well the famine is over
Why don't they go home?

Now Athenry Mike was a thief
And Large John he was fully briefed
And that wee traitor from Castlemilk
Turned his back on his own
They've all their Papists in Rome
They have U2 and Bono
Well the famine is over
Why don't they go home?

INSTRUMENTAL

Now they raped and fondled their kids
That's what those perverts from the darkside did
And they swept it under the carpet
and Large John he hid
Their evils seeds have been sown
Cause they're not of our own
Well the famine is over
Why don't you go home?

Now Timmy don't take it from me
Cause if you know your history
You've persecuted thousands of people
In Ireland alone
You turned on the lights
Fuelled U boats by night
That's how you repay us
It's time to go home.
