Not that tactful?
 

Well, Daniel's problem is certainly not all that political correctness he's got going on, as can be seen by his joke about the Irishman with the usual mental disorder (stupidity) tunneling his way out of a ship and drowning...with a perfectly nice Irishman in the house! I suppose if the guy from Boys Own was a little more badass then he wouldn't be so stupid?

It's kind of this wider problem of the UK establishment allowing things like the very racist American NFL to play games in London, even though the UK has a vigorous anti-racism "Kick It Out" campaign.
