Of course, conflicting with powers outside the family is a normal occupations for working-class Celts. Although we can seldom win these wars in real terms – we win in another way – as the inner structure of the family is protected and secured. We divert the enemy and turn their attention to a more or less irrelevant feature which they invariably fall for. We encourage the false idea that “they are more intelligent” and that “they have beaten us” – and we retreat in mock defeat. This is how we handle the authorities. Children watch their parents doing this from an early age – and on it goes. The modern equivalent of showing the Shire-Reef our naked bottoms when he comes to collect taxes. Letting the middle and upper-classes think we are thick is one of our greatest defences. Inwardly, we cannot be rattled regardless of what is done to use externally. We will not bend to any blow and we never show it hurts.
