Anyone who has an issue with this (incredible) dance, because it is playing with the form of Irish dance, flouting traditional rules re arms etc, but doesn't have the same problem with Riverdance, is a racist.

Ive said it before, but people queueing for Primark are likely people with kids who have grown substantially over months, and need new clothes for the family. With kids clothes, Primark and charity shops are not beaten for price, and on limited budgets, its an important shop.
