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

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

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
― gyac, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 21:01 (five years ago) link
don't underestimate the Australian factor as well.

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

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]
