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

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.

May spokesperson says she will not quit until Brexit Phase 1 is delivered. I can see that going well at 1922.

"What if Brexit doesn't pass? Will you stay forever?"
"I have been clear we want to pass the withdrawal agreemen---"

But in remarks that suggest she still wants to achieve a Brexit deal before quitting, May said: “I actually think that when we look at the Liverpool win over Barcelona last night, what it shows is that when everyone says it’s all over, that your European opposition have got you beat, the clock is ticking down, it’s time to concede defeat, actually we can still secure success if everyone comes together.”

*throws computer through the window*

in the thread, they gurgled with delight

New passports rushed out to Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum.

It is a good metaphor as it suggests the deal she has on the table is terrible and a defeat for the UK and needs some kind of last-ditch miracle to put right, which I am sure is exactly the message she wants to be sending.

Obvious conclusion - put a German with fluorescent teeth in charge of the country.

Ah yes the Tories, famous for their admiration of the solidarity of the people of *checks notes* Liverpool?!

britain is man united.

meanwhile joanna cherry has gone full TERF the past couple of weeks

QC twitter is the worst twitter

For the life of me I will never understand TERFs. I’m on a closed FB group for freelance journos and every so often someone will pop up all like ‘a group of WOMEN are facing discrimination, anyone wanna help them by placing this story?’ and I just think ‘fuck you and your rhetoric’.

Mainstream British female journalists are full terf, I would be more surprised if a closed group of women journalists was any exception to that.

Another fine pair of fellas (this was in Corbyn’s likes, lol)

One of the best perks I have ever had by going on Marr (apart from meeting Andrew of course) has been meeting Adrian Dunbar. A brilliant actor and caring, thoughtful person. Though I couldn’t get who is H out of him! pic.twitter.com/MQABztZ9Xq

I can still picture Dunbar looking quite youthful in 90's stuff like The Crying Game and it oddly doesn't seem that long ago #livingtoolate/oldbastard

Back in the early ‘90s when I was supplementing my freelance income by working for a market research company (my manager was a guy who’d been a tour tech for Sonic Youth), I had an assignment to recruit ‘style leaders’ for an alcopop focus group so into Camden’s pubs I went. At the Enterprise I got chatting to an actor type who turned out to be Adrian Dunbar, who not only did the survey questionnaire but went around the pub hassling other likely-looking punters on my behalf. Top dude!

This is good.

This is significant. No matter what else may happen as a result of #Brexit, Irish and British citizens will still be able to live, travel work, study and access healthcare, housing and welfare in each other’s countries as though we were citizens of both https://t.co/NVlAjMeYmi

no not having it

Even an Arsenal fan can appreciate the astonishing performances by @LFC and @SpursOfficial over the last two nights. Two underdogs defying the odds to set up an all English Champions League Final. Congratulations and good luck to both teams in the final. #AJATOT
