It's great to be British at last, says Michael Flatley

Had he ever an Irish passport ?  If not , he is just another Yank .

Wonder what criteria UK uses to judge citizenship for an American ?

Presumably he will pay tax in UK now then --or maybe not ?

Apparently he is giving up his American citizenship . Cant figure out his allegiance or attachment to being British myself , or his desire to bring shows to parts of the world where being British is respected .

Interesting to see what the Americans make of this , they have been largely responsible for putting their bums on seats and building up his huge fortune .

It was his Irish connection that gave him his jump start , technically and opportunity wise .  But I guess he has outgrown that .

But who knows , few of us will ever run across him , he has huge talent , but dont think he is "of the people " .

Life will again carry on without Flately, only he will have regrets on his death bed.

As plastic as they come........Maybe something for our politicians to debate in the Dail......a nothing story.

Nearly as plastic as you singing Chelsea in your English accent when in the pub.

Don't undereastimate the allure of the monarchy and the British class system to the nouveau riche. Its alive and well in Ireland in the huntin', shootin', fishn' set.

Alas, Michael and his fellow vulgarians will be scratching at the door but denied access.

where is this running oz?ta.....

Its running in today's online edition of An Phoblacht richters, I am surprised you haven't seen it.

Plastic Michael has obviously worked out that there is money in it somehow.

Now now rocketfingers........Nothing wrong with appreciating the beautiful game played well.
I'm sure your new Vauxhall conference superstar striker would enjoy a few songs in his own accent.........Maybe the fans do but as Workrider pointed out.......you don't go to the games.

He's doing a new version of Riverdance, based around a group of Morris dancers waving hankies with bells strapped to their knees. The part of Jean Marsh will be taken by so called comedienne Miranda and music by what's left of Fairport Convention. Michael Flatley is quoted as saying he hopes to sell dozens of tickets.
If this venture fails he has spoke of emigrating to Russia, and doing Riverskidanceski with Mikael Flatlinski.
