Sometimes a Cigar is just a Cigar - Freud

Allegiance to new Irish Nationalism?
Behind the search for deeper meaning there is very often little more than the meaning of the search itself.

Regardless of Mel Smith's drumming up of media interest for the play Allegiance,( running at the Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh), by breaking the smoking ban with a cigar, the 'stir' that should have been created by the subject matter has yet to manifest itself. Do the followers of 'The Wind that Shakes the Barley' know that Michael Collins got on quite well with Winston Churchill, not on stage unfortunately, but in history. Is the recent search for a new Irish nationalism, forged very much by British imperialism, slightly abashed by this friendship. Or is it just that sometimes the fruits of the search will not bare enough coverage as the covering the search itself.
