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

The only ones that count for me are first and second generation candidates, all that ancestry.com nonsense doesn't mean that much at all. But this does conveniently segue with my own bullshit about determinedly not being English despite living here since 1973!

I simply renounce any nation that would have me as a member

Jimmy Carr should have in this poll.

even his Irish dad seems to think he's a twat. He wrote in his book that he moved from Limerick to Slough. His dad wasn't impressed with his bad Irish jokes and disparaging comments about Limerick and also he corrected that they in fact moved from Limerick to South Kensington, which is not Slough.

Yes it seems they had a fallout and he hasn't spoken to his dad in years - much to the the relief of the father I assume.

I hate our diaspora SO much. Obscuring actual discrimination in favour of sharing white suprematist talking points, couldn’t be me

I keep seeing these takes about Irish people “not counting” as white in U.S. history and honestly, there is nothing historical about such a claim. The Irish were included in the ‘white’ column of every colonial census going back to Stapleton’s Leeward Islands survey in the 1670s. pic.twitter.com/IViHErffA0

Tom Brady?

He got two votes in the original poll

Yeah, I saw that, I found it surprising. Compared to most of the other people on the list, he's pretty innocuous.
