Milligan was something of a skirt chaser, so it was with some surprise that he saw one of the British tabloids accuse him of being "a dirty Irish poof". ("Poof" is British slang for homosexual.

Milligan sued the paper for calling him -- "Irish".

Lol.

Spike was born in Sligo India were his father served in the army. Britain would not allow him into the country since he didnt have a passport.
Ireland took him and he became an Irish citizen.
He poked fun at Ireland all his life but he adored them.
