      There are in general 3 different types of drinkers, sloppy stumbling drinkers, happy dancing partying drinkers, and angry violent fight starting drinkers. Which one of those that a particular drinker is depends on the type of person they are.

      Palmerston the Liberal? Are you drunk? If you want a punch on your Judy then go ahead and vote with Barney. But after a few hours of drinking pints of Duff at Moe's he really hasn't a clue what he is brawling for? Wasn't it Palmerston's pa who struck the match and set the Whitehorse on Fire 24th August 1814? Clearly how can he be considered England's Greatest Prime Minister if he was Irish (Anglo Irish)? They were great brawlers and not much else.
      So if you want a Punch 'n'Judy then step out side. But think about it, first. What good did Palmerston do as either a Tory, Whig or Liberal. He hadn't a clue. Changed parties as often as he drank beer likely. Or how else was he in each party? Chopping and changing as he did through three different parties he clearly couldn't be of any or much use to either as soon as some decision was made he would leave and join the opposition. So his parties could never win. So no one could ever know what he really stood for as anything he stood for was soon dropped as he defected to an other party ending up with the liberals who were mostly pro beer beer beer and beer.
      Look at Dublin now a days. Pubs on every corner and two or three in between.
      Springfield could look like Dublin in just a few decades then where will they be? He wasn't English. He was Anglo-Irish. A vast country Estate in Ireland whilst the Irish had their Potato Famine. Which for some strange reason many Irish blame the English for yet the Palmerstons were Anglo Irish. Not short of a few dollars at all.
      So how can the Irish really blame the English for famine in Ireland if the Irish during 'The Irish Rebellion of 1641 (Irish: Éirí Amach 1641)' slew tens or hundreds of thousands of Protestant English Planters (Planters, Farmers-those there to grow food and plant seed)? See what Wikipedia said:
      Ulster massacres [Wikipedia]
      'The number of planters killed in the early months of the uprising is the subject of debate. Early English Parliamentarian pamphlets claimed that over 200,000 Protestants had lost their lives. In fact, recent research has suggested that the number is far more modest, in the region of 4,000 or so killed, though many thousands were expelled from their homes. It is estimated that up to 12,000 Protestants may have lost their lives in total, the majority dying of cold or disease after being expelled from their homes in the depths of winter'.
      So if the Palmerston fail to see the obvious and don't support the English against the Irish false allegations then how can he be worthy of the title 'England's Greatest Prime Minister'. Especially as he was Anglo-Irish. It stands to reason that if The Irish Catholics slaughtered tens of thousands of food planters (Farm-steaders) then likely others wouldn't want to go there and fill the shoes of the already dead. So the later Irish anti UK-ites who accuse the absentee landlords of the famine must be plumb crazy or insane with mad whisky. As they are blaming those they murdered for not being there to look after them or to plant the seed to grow the crops. It's not a case of any deliberate act by the planters or English that they were not there. They weren't there on account of the fact they were murdered by Irish Catholics.
      So the same could happen in Springfield if you vote for the Liberal Anglo-Irish Palmerston. There will open pubs on every street with a few in between and one on each corner. Be careful of what you vote for.
      Okay- So whilst you ponder -I will drop a coin in Moe's Jukebox and select a reminiscence of Palmerston's Pa who struck the match and set the Whitehorse on Fire 24th August 1814?

      Nah not British.

Really, the revolutionary first British empire versus the counterrevolutionary second British empire.
