Poll: Do you admire Bono?

Give it to us straight. Be honest.

THE GUARDIAN HAS been mulling over Ireland’s attitude towards Bono and U2 – and found us wanting.

“You might,” they write, “catch some graffiti [in Dublin] scrawled on concrete walls and darkened doorways, opining in classically Irish slang that, ‘Bono is a Pox’.”

On the other hand, U2′s upcoming Croke Park show is sold out.

So would you please tell us, definitively, and we’re picking on the frontman because he’s the one who seems to most divide public opinion, do you admire Bono?


Poll Results:

No (7962)
Yes (3502)
I do in some ways (3439)
Never heard of him (461)

    Would it be wrong if I said they were fantastic and have done Ireland proud and I’m so delighted for them. Theyre very easy on the eye as well which is the thing I probably should not say but I’m just putting it out there to see
