Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

This is just like an episode of in the thick of it.

If it helps this thread goes a long way to keeping me sane (except when mark a drops in to scare me with bl***y references)

At least we can laugh at their dreadful candidates flopping even as the country elects a full slate of fash MEPs.

euros are going to be REALLY depressing

I have been informed that the LibDems are gonna clean up so

CHUK will get circa 10% and Brexit Party will win most seats and the popular vote.

what a shambles

Can’t wait for a bunch of people who failed in labour to blame jemiru crombyn for them splitting the left-(ish) vote & fascists getting in. Will they blame the actual government? Nah, of course not.

Also it’s really besides the point given a lot of her other horrorshow views, but lol @ Nora Mulready (2nd gen) saying shit like this:

Ditto the Irish. https://t.co/9PQYIgcbEV

Ah lovely, it's the turn of the Irish to be mortally offended and to have all the people be mortally offended on our behalf.

Imagine if catholic priests who'd abused children were referred to by Home Secretary as "sick Irish paedophiles" or were referred to by "progressives" simply as "men"? Neither would be helpful or illuminating or honest. Respect the public enough to describe situations truthfully.

Actually this reminds me that I wanted to poll the worst member of the Irish diaspora. I would expect Steve B to make a good showing, if not win outright, but there’s plenty of competition.

Anne Marie Waters!

I still think it's Terry Wogan.

xp I don’t think she’s diaspora I think she’s just an emigrant. That’s a different poll, with Glinner and Bono.

... and Geldof. Now there is a poll.

... Bono not a emigrant though?

Wogan and Geldof don’t count, both actually from Ireland.

Does Bono still even live in Ireland?

yaxley-lennon obv

My dead dad was an absolute cunt! But only "famous" in the Zetland St Irish centre, Hudds.

Pretty sure Bono still lives in Ireland. Diaspora could potentially include Brendan O'Neill and Morrissey, it's another good poll.

xxp you say this but the fucking staaaaate of some of the gene pool - got Andrew Breitbart, Morrissey and Bill Clinton.

Ok I’m polling when I get home, it’s gonna be cunts all the way down (and I will try to find some awful Scottish people of Irish ancestry for Tom & Jim)

Some people consider me an awful Scottish person of Irish ancestry.

For pity's sake don't make me ponder Morrissey vs Brendan O'Neill

Not bad enough to make the poll, sorry!

xp that’s going to be the least of your problems

OMG

Piers Morgan was born in 1965 in Newick, Sussex, England[9] as Piers Stefan O'Meara, the son of Vincent Eamonn O'Meara, an Irish dentist originally from County Offaly,[9][10]

Oh god i'm having a hate attack

darragh do something!

Things you weren't shockingly old enough when you learned

Maybe every terrible person in Britain is of Irish extraction.

Ok I’m polling when I get home, it’s gonna be cunts all the way down (and I will try to find some awful Scottish people of Irish ancestry for Tom & Jim)

thank you. george galloway definitely merits an appearance

it’s possible it’s a coincidence but for the most part the worst members of the diaspora are male 🙃

I'm half from that swarthy Spanish Armada branch of Irish DNA that bred with Kerry inbreds and made themselves progressively uglier over generations. Sort of proud of it tho!

I don’t think that’s an actual thing - I think that’s a myth Americans invented to explain away having a black ancestor and not looking v pale & red haired or w/e. Being dark haired is v common and half of my family tans with no effort at all.

it was an RE teacher who told me it was a thing, and he was a Jesuit missionary or something- not your typical fucked up Catholic! I'll have to take one of them Oxford DNA tests to settle it!

My dad used to peddle that Armada story too. I don't think he knew about the theory of the links between Celtic peoples in Iberia and Ireland though, he'd have loved that.

Thought a lot of the celtiberian stuff was regarded as largely mythological now but i dunno, Victorian fairy stories must've been right occasionally

whenever i read anything about the celts it sounds like a very confusing and contested area of study

Yeah i think there's a lot of argument about transmission of cultures vs. large scale movement of people

Does Bono still even live in Ireland?

His mailbox is in Amsterdam, I know that much

Hahahaha I’ve been told about Armada stuff relating to my Swedish great-grandmother from Gothenburg (and assumed it was a coastal/port city thing).

quality diaspora member Johnny mc absolutely ecstatic that his boys smashed a team of tax dodgers

Congratulations to Liverpool FC and all the Liverpool fans who had the belief and tonight were the 12th man at Anfield. Don’t ever tell me miracles don’t happen. You’ll never walk alone. https://t.co/eeQ9hZrUR3

Anatolia rather than armada iirc

Let's face it, you're Welsh really.

my ppl are furthest west so we're probably less mixed than most from our original prototurk forefathers

there was a bit of ankara management going on.

OH SHIT.

Seen this multiple times now. Once could have been an overenthusiastic activist. Twice though... looks like CUKTIG actually using Comic Sans on official party materials. pic.twitter.com/SQormPFeUc

I regret to inform you that stephen daisley has written an article calling ROOF “mummy”

In the hall, they gurgled with delight just to have her back. Mummy’s home.
