An awful shower altogether - vote for the worst member of the Irish diaspora

“We didn't bitch about the guy next door who was richer because he sold his house for more money and we didn't bitch about the guy down the street who might be poorer. That is the sign of the Irish spirit.”

lol no it's not

fact

Begrudgery is as Irish a characteristic as you’ll find!

Also lol at his parents leaving the country in 1947.

the true irish spirit in those circs is "i knew him when he had no arse to his trousers"

I've got vivid early memories of next door but one Polish neighbours the Wenzels having very unseemly "Polish scum" "Irish bastards" type over the hedge slanging matches on the regular with my parents.

My Perthshire girl is pointing out that this is all well and good and all, but they've got Trump.

They can also claim Blair and Murdoch and Gove!

claim/take

Are any of the Barca lads Irish at all

gerard pique anyway

I mean, Blair and Gove are actually Scottish, though.

Blair is more fucking Australian than Irish.

he only lived in australia for a few years as an infant.

I don’t think anyone disputed Gove being Scottish lol but unfortunately Blair counts as diaspora

Love how he paid tribute to his “fiercely Protestant” mother by becoming a deeply weird catholic convert as an adult

blair was born in scotland and spent a good deal of his childhood and youth there however

(lived there as a tot and then attended fettes as a teen)

discarding his accent along the way

Fite, but I would wager there's more evil Scottish diaspora bastards in the world than Irish - if not in total then in proportion.

nah id saw thats right

just in ireland alone like

These US Presidents who all claim to be Irish are usually Ulster Scots efter a'

I'm just remembering (I'm not sure if this is a fake memory) Cathal Coughlan saying in an interview that when he met Mark E Smith for the first time, he said hello and MES replied: you're not Irish and just walked past him.

If Blair and Murdoch teach us anything it’s that Irish and Scottish combinations can sometimes result in the most uniquely evil people

don't underestimate the Australian factor as well.

We mixed the worst ingredients of Irish, Scottish and English culture and baked it in the sun for a couple of hundred years

We think you'll like the results

basically its the scotch

think nakh had sent me on a link before demonstrating the shite they made of anywhere they went

awful bunch

Invented passing in football too - ruining a once noble game

the 2nd gen pseudo scotch are worse than irish equivalents surely. idk rod fucking stewart!

Oh God no, nothing's worse than a Plastic Paddy.

Like 80% of the population of the USA, for example.

they don't count, everyone knows even the McGillycuddys or McMurphys or whatever over there are 90% German.

Genuinely not certain what would qualify Tony Blair as Scottish Diaspora, other than being King of England.

OK, forget Blair, David William Donald Cameron then.

basically its the scotch

think nakh had sent me on a link before demonstrating the shite they made of anywhere they went

awful bunch

The fact that we are uniquely deranged and fanatical is neither here nor there.

Cameron bringing everyone down with him

Cameron has said, "On my mother's side of the family, her mother was a Llewellyn, so Welsh. I'm a real mixture of Scottish, Welsh, and English."[16] He has also referenced the German Jewish ancestry of one of his great-grandfathers, Arthur Levita, a descendant of the Yiddish author Elia Levita.[17][18]

read it and weep Corbyn!

Chuck in Callaghan & Healey for bad diaspora too

did you see diaspora on that one

xp Irish and scottish combos (celts picts ???) passed it back and forth, then with viking then english accomplices/force and then shoved it down the appalachians from the alleghennies to the blue ridge for 250 or 300 yrs. now here i am. bastards all ended up the same. but were nothing until they crashed it in ky. jmo.

enuf about us, i pick murdoch fwiw.

the scots were fine at building steamships and being engineers. they should have stuck to that.

They did:

"shields still holding cap'n, bit th' drain oan mah buckie is reaching critical point ...

Re: the building steamships thing, they made a hell of a lot of money building blockade-busting ships for the Confederacy.

the B Empire more concerned with getting the cotton flowing back into the mills rather than the future of Yankee democracy or taking a stand against slavery.

Of course, if they hadn't then destryoing the Indian textile manufacturing industry would have been in vain!
