Comment: That's right; he was voted out of office in February, but thanks to Covid-19, which he of course embraced wholeheartedly, he's still PM of an 'emergency govt'.
Not only that, but he was never even elected in the first place! He was handed the reigns as part of an internal party political deal by the previously elected Irish PM.
Is it just coincidence that one of only a relative handful of mixed race Irish people seeks to radically alter its history/culture... without a democratic mandate??
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar
In recent days, statues of people linked to the slave trade have been taken down around the world.
Asked on RTE 2FM if Ireland has a racism problem, he said: "I think we do. Every country in the world has racism to some degree.
"Thankfully we do not have the kind of problems with police brutality that we see in the United States, we have a very professional police force and we're grateful for that.
"If you look at the Traveller community and how they are treated and spoke about - that's a form of racism.
"Anyone who grew up in Ireland mixed race like me would be aware of the fact that when you look and sound different - people treat you differently and it is not nice."
Mr Varadkar said a statue of Sean Russell, an Irish republican who fought in the 1916 Rising and was a leader during the War of Independence, may need to be removed.

"We have a few of our own statues we may need to take down. There is a statue in Fairview Park in Dublin of an Irish republican man who was also a Nazi collaborator... I think any statues that come down should come down legally... let's not engage in violence."
Mr Varadkar said as a mixed race person growing up in Ireland, he has experienced racism.
"It is not something I speak about too much but it has not held me back - it has probably pushed me on. I have had a lot of privileges that have helped to counteract that."
Mr Varadkar said the Black Lives Matter Movement is similar to the Me Too campaign.It does worry me that young people of colour who grew up in Ireland are being treated as though they are not fully Irish.
"People are no longer ashamed to talk about their experience of racism and to shame the racists and it is almost like a switch has gone on for a lot of people."
He said Ireland needs to bring in new laws around hate speech to combat racism.
"It is not easy to do as you don't want to shut down freedom of speech but we need an anti-racism campaign and to raise awareness about it," he said.
Comment: Regardless of his actions, Sean Russell is still a part of Irish history. Would it not be better to leave his reminder in place to use, as the Left is fond of saying, "a teachable moment"?
Varadkar's 'stimulation' of this 'discussion' in Ireland is particularly interesting as this is the first setting in the West in which the removal of statues has NOT 'come from below', organically, so to speak, via 'protesters'.
Which just goes to show that this radicalism is being pushed down and out into society by the Powers That Be.
