Whats all the uproar over a box of meatballs ?
I always took it to be referring to them.
A) they are Irish and fit with the artist
B) it's preceded by 'cheap, lousy' which is exactly what faggots are, shitty offcuts and offal.
C) it rhymes with maggot which is convenient
I don't for one second think Kirsty Maccoll is accusing Shane Magowan of homosexual tendancies.
Some people just like to be offended.
