British Right-Wing Pundits

i suggest we simply deserve much better than these narcissists

Here's my latest article. It was a very difficult, painful piece to write. I poured my heart into it.

I'd like to think we can draw a line under the issue now and embrace the things that unite us, but sadly the wretched Corbynista vermin won't do that because they are sub-human. pic.twitter.com/HWkA3Nkvln

Daniela Nardini.

Trevor Bastard Extended Universe character, Simon Hedges et al

It's Anna Chancellor

Looks good whoever that is

would def consider this thread to be 'on main'

i got the joke, was just wondering if anna chancellor has some previous that led to her being picked for this role

please understand i get jokes

As someone who can nap any time and any place, and once napped bolt upright during an especially dull one-to-one lunch with a party leader, I am disappointed that Downing St has issued a categorical denial that the PM takes afternoon naps. Much of my best work is in the...

btw anybody who makes an outraged tweet because J Clarkson has had an outrageous opinion for money is, at the very least, a dick

lol yes, the correct way to use the bill grundy show with sex pistols approach: "oh very good say something else outrageous"

Now follow this: "Biden's great, great, great grandfather, Edward Blewitt, left Ballina, co Mayo, Ireland for America during the Irish famine 170 years ago, which could mean he is well disposed towards Great Britain". Christopher Hope in Britain's Daily Telegraph.

Sarcasm?

one thing I'm sure about is that type of third generation Irish identity genealogy you get in the US sucks absolute arse

gropy Joe to the bbc correspondent "hey I'm Irish!" that was fucking embarrassing

it's like people who claim a working class identity cos their great-granddad went down on a miner once

Funny how they're far less likely "Hey, I'm German!" even though there's more with German ancestry than Irish.

I think you need to view that clip in the context of it resurfacing, which was that it boiled the piss of people like your Tom McTagues and therefore we can be a bit more lenient on old Joe on this point.

Ireland is extremely good at promoting itself and its agenda. It costs money but can achieve a lot. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the Brexit backstop debate, for eg, London totally lost the PR battle to Dublin. In part because of this kind of thing👇https://t.co/vAG5WD7jZ7

me, normally: the thing about being Irish and being proud of it is that you have to take into context the history of the place and the revisionist promotion of it as an inherently progressive place when the politics are still really reactionary in terms of the parties we elect and -

Tom McTague: literally anything he posts about Ireland

me: YEAH LAD OLD JOE ISN’T GOING TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE UNION, SUCK IT

Funny how they're far less likely "Hey, I'm German!" even though there's more with German ancestry than Irish.

Don't worry, they'll do it with absolutely any European ancestry whatsoever.

"I'm Dutch, my parents can trace their ancestry back to Pennsylvania."

"I don't have a driver's license, but I love cars, because I'm Sicilian."

They do, but undoubtedly some ancestries are prized above others.

Yes, it is generally more a) spurious and b) profoundly-felt re Irishness.

In later life my dad went full shamrockbegorrahjaysus although his ancestors were CoI/Methodist on his dad’s side and fully Huguenot on his mum’s.

huguenot very slept on in these discussions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Huguenots

I always thought Brando was a huge knot

Annoyed that my ancestor who was in charge of British prisoners during the Revolutionary War and my other more direct ancestor who was with Washington at Trenton (and devised burning the landed British barges) aren’t on that list, pffft.

none of my ancestors are apparently from anywhere more exotic than County Cork, however there is this guy who seems pretty interesting

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancelot_Errington

the view in the US seems to be that the irish gene is dominant

A little unsure where the break would be presumed to be between irish diaspora of catholic origins and those of the other sects tbh

yes i concur.

although it is funny to think about the scots-irish peple whose ancestors were peep o day boys turning over in their graves when they donated to NORAID

Ive eaten at the restaurant beside the huguenot graveyard here in town and tbh i dont see what the fuss is about the soup

My Irishes emigrated to Ontario before every single male child of theirs went to America armed with a medical degree, to serve in various backwaters with hospitals.

A little unsure where the break would be presumed to be between irish diaspora of catholic origins and those of the other sects tbh

tbf a lot of them were rebels who hated the English, so not all bad

Im actually lost bit lookit

Funny how they're far less likely "Hey, I'm German!" even though there's more with German ancestry than Irish.

gabbneb???

Remember when Patrick Maguire used to write for the bad NS? Awful awful content

The just slightly too enthusiastic Biden joy amongst the blue ticks is the dawning realisation that they have collectively fucked it into the heart of the sun, IMO pic.twitter.com/a03sNQDUxG

Thoroughly normal people.

O THANK YOU, Uncle Joe, for taking away women's sex-based rights, which those before us fought so hard to win! Would you like to wipe your bum on we giggling gals of your fan-club next? It's OUR PLEASURE!

— Julie Burchill (@BoozeAndFagz) January 21, 2021

Julie Burchill fought for women's sex-based rights? When?

fishhook theory confirmed again

No, no, it was those before her! Are you accusing her of egotism?

Poor Julie, between this and Joe being a proud Fenian, it must have been such a hard day for her

Those before her did the fighting - Charles Shaar Murray, Nick Kent.
