Blair is more fucking Australian than Irish.

calzino, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 20:49 (five years ago) link

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

gyac, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 20:51 (five years ago) link

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

gyac, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 20:55 (five years ago) link

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

Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 20:58 (five years ago) link

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

Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 20:59 (five years ago) link

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.

calzino, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 21:03 (five years ago) link

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

Number None, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 21:09 (five years ago) link

calzino, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 21:12 (five years ago) link

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

Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 21:13 (five years ago) link

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

Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 21:14 (five years ago) link

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

calzino, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 21:21 (five years ago) link

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

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 21:22 (five years ago) link

OK, forget Blair, David William Donald Cameron then.

we invented the modern world, everyone else is just jealous of our small nation’s oversized contribution to culture and history obv

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

Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 21:27 (five years ago) link

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]

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

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.

calzino, Wednesday, 8 May 2019 07:08 (five years ago) link

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

Only thing that could make this picture worse would be a sash and someone in blackface.

Why is she wearing mismatching shoes? Is it cos she was up to her knees in Fenian blood & was caught short?
