TH do you know many anti Brit jokes? I saw a map of Europe a while ago, showing the countries that each nation joked about the most.

Not really. Us Irish prefer slagging each other off. When I was growing up it was stupid Kerryman jokes, like
"How do you keep a Kerryman entertained? Give him a piece of paper with PTO written on both sides" or "How do you keep a Kerryman in suspense? Tell you later." Stuff like that. We Dubs were very superior in our attitude to those "outside the Pale". In a humorous way of course.

OK I detect an air of superiority from you, but not so much the humour. Perhaps you fully transitioned from Dub humour to Dad jokery?

I see Russia is covered in fuschia, which of course if the colour of the Kerplakistan flag.

I really don't care what you detect. You need to be Irish to understand. We're "The Big Smoke", all others are "culchies" and "bogjumpers" and so forth. Yeah.
