What The BRITISH Think About The IRISH... 🇬🇧🇮🇪 |  

Never knew this😂 by the way are you English ?

If my finger nails were dirty, my mother used to say "you could grow potatoes under those nails"!

Or if the inside of your ears were dirty the comment "were u digging potatoes"was always said to me by my granny

Context: She didn't mean potatoes would grow behind your ears, she meant potatoes in general would grow.

Hhh😂🎉

😂 Im Irish and hate the Irish government. Both are terrible. Whats your point ?? Lol

Well said.

Not everyone in Northern Ireland hates the British army or the British government. I would say most do not and are actually fond of them

May God look after you, I will pray for you my BROTHER

English here we do too

You need to pull an American move and get rid of that bullshit monarchy. Can’t believe you guys actually bow to that group of pedophiles. I’m embarrassed for you.

You from Belfast? Am from Bendooragh me (county Antrim)

Not Australia though, County Antrim.

Always makes my holiday more special 2 meet the English ..I just love them🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍀

and the german cousins

We’re the same people really. Just different accents 😅 Same with those from Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇬🇧.

I'm English but love all my sisters n brothers across the UK and Ireland. Humorous, fun loving, down-to-Earth, tough and hard drinking. What's not to love?! The only ones I have no time for are those who seek to economically and politically divide us based on wealth, and who think that the only people of value are the rich and priviledged living in the corner of south east England / London. Big up the Irish (N and S), the Welsh, the Scots and fellow English!!!

Agreed I call them cousins now not brits.

To quote Kenneth Williams "OOooooo 'e goes too far, 'e goes too far!!"

@@patkearney9320isn't that cause you northerners ain't really Irish any more?

You had me until Dublin. I mean ok, sure, you northerners are still technically culturally Irish. Politically speaking, you ain't Irish ☘️ Erin Go Bragh

@@patkearney9320seems the north has assimilated well into the Commonwealth.

I'm Irish we love the English 😮😮😅😊

​@@user-yv4fv8bk8cno we don't

So yous are the dicks from all the jokes 😑 (wee jokes) 🤣

you didn't walk into a bar, did ya?😅

Cause we family!

Spent a third of my life in Scotland before moving back to Belfast and the love is mutual

Boyle Irish name. Scots always emphasize their Britishness because of their subservience to England. Can't beat em join em. 🤣

Love the Scottish too lol. Our branch of Celts is very close

Am Irish and I love the Scottish ❤

I don't think Michael Collins or the the Provos would have agreed with you!

@@aigleroyal3941 Michael Collins worked in London for years quite happily and had no issue with English people, he didn't like the English establishment in Ireland and the way they treated the Irish in their own country! I can't speak for the provos.

@@SeamusButlervalid response, it’s not like Collins actually hated the British people. More what their army were doing here!

@@SeamusButler It's the British that murdered him at the end! It is believed that he was shot by Denis "Sonny" O'Neill, a former British Army sniper...

@@TriedGlitter657 We are not interested in the "validity" of the response but what was the outcome of the story... The fact is that, in the 21st century, the Irish people still suffer under the British rule having their country devided! Ireland should be freed! Has the right to become one unified and sovereign state and nation! Brits should get out of Ireland!

Yep, As an English person who moved and went to school in Ireland, there was an Irish perosn who blamed me for his family being slaves 600 hundred years ago, I'm not joking.

As will a certain rome controlled portion of the irish.

And im sure the irish arent to blame for what theyve done to britain in the last 100 years maybe.

@@freneticness6927 yes they are, groups like the IRA were justified in fighting in the 1910s, 1920, when it was against solider and police etc, but killing civilians that had no involvement in the conflict is not justifiable. Just look up the Warrington bombing, the IRA bomb a building that killed 2 children, not soldiers, not politicians, just kids, in what way is that justifiable? It isn't, both sides need to take accountability for what they did wrong.

​@lunkycultist5519 then why only mention the I.R.A in your comment? Plenty of innocent people where killed by the British, that includes the military, the Police, Ulster loyalists etc. Heres an example, the quinn brothers and unfortunatelythere are many more. By the way the I.R.A didn't exist in the 1910's and during the war of independence the I.R.A where just as ruthless as they where in the recent troubles, if the old I.R.A had the weapons then, they would surely have used them as the Provos did. The old I.R.A disappeared alot more people than the P.I.R.A ever did and that's just in Cork. It was all a very sad time and actions taken on all sides where bad and hopefully never repeated, but there certainly should not be a hierarchy in which the Provos where worse than anyone else as that just factually is not true.

Didn’t the Irish invade Scotland?

​@@Gypsygeekfreak17Not recently 😄

And we like you we are all different branches of the same family tree.Irish ☘️♟

Thats cos they invaded you lol

@@Gypsygeekfreak17without the Irish, there are no Scots

Like sports? No we have hurling and gaa Art? No ours is Celtic Music? No Language? No History? No Wtf do we have similar to English? They don’t come from Britain they come from Germany just because our weather is the same means nothing

@@user-ze8yy8jg1fSad bitter man. So the Irish don’t support the same English football teams? Listen to the same western music? Speak the same language? Watch the same TV shows? You’re deluding yourself with your own bitterness.

​@user-ze8yy8jg1f English ancestry is a mix of germanic(Germany AND Denmark) and celtic....Welsh, Irish, and Scottish ancestry is very similar to the English and each other, with interesting variances.

​@@user-ze8yy8jg1fWhatever you may think we have far more common than not. Despite, or maybe because of? our history. Worked with a few Irish lads years ago all top lads and got on with all of them, and I'm a bit of a twat!

@@user-ze8yy8jg1f shut up. We do have same fashion, humour, language, sports, food etc unless you are stuck back in the 1930s. And if you want to get scientific, a huge part of the "english" dna is made up of "Brytonnic celt/proto celt" peoples of which we are also descended

I think we should tell them 😂

Why the Irish? They're not Germanic like the English

@DASW2001 Irish? The Scots are mongrel. The Germanic tribes settled in Scotland at the same time as the Scots. They were also picts there before the Irish tribe colonised them and wiped out an entire language and culture. The English have more Scottish, Irish, and Welsh DNA than Germaic.

Our problems are with loyalists up north and in Britain not British citizens

Irish people are people with heart of Gold🇮🇪

should remain in the past but should never be forgotten so we can fight back the colonizers and genociders like what we have today

​@@abra.hui.You are a colonizer. How many irish live outside of ireland.

​@@user-ze8yy8jg1fMaybe the irish shouldnt be in britain. And maybe dont take the british saint patrick to your island. And remember it was the normans who took over ireland

Your not well.

You keep forgetting what these "well mannered" people have done for centuries to Ireland!!! Am sure Michael Collins would think you're a dimwit!

I’m English and I’d love an Irish wife 😂

Don't the Irish like a more brisk tea than a flavorful 🍵

​@@robertchiarizia9463The Irish drink more tea than anyone else in the world except possibly the turks.

@@danganbeg7225 I have Indian friends that would disagree. That would be like saying Brits drink more beer than Germans. The hops are made in Germany. Tea is made in India. Get the picture? If Irish drink alot of tea, then now I understand how I got the habit. I love tea as well. Except I'm 30 some percent Norman, and 20 some percent County Cork Malarkey Irish. So English breakfast tea ☕️ has the delicate flavor I prefer to the boldness that is irish tea. 🍵 🫖 Americans, we have it all running in our veins. 🙄 Heads Tea, tails coffee ☕️ It's all good.

@@danganbeg7225 was stationed in Turkey during the Gulf War. Only saw them drink sludge coffee in Turkey. Only saw the Irish drink alcohol or coffee. Then again, this was on the European mainland, not the islands.

@@robertchiarizia9463 You misspelled flavour.

​@@HelenaHandbasket-pf9ek They don't have a Celtic language nor are they proud of their Celtic history

@@HelenaHandbasket-pf9ek You just cited two dead languages killed by England DNA does not equal culture, when was the last time you played the harp or were standing at an Eisteddfod

​@@HelenaHandbasket-pf9ek Sorry but I am from the British Isles, I'm Welsh with an English family and Cumbrian is certainly dead, Cornish is currently being revived but let's face it, until you can find a native/first language Cornish speaker it is a dead language

I’m sure it would 😂😂😂there not as nice as the Portuguese trust me were a lot nicer to any region and this isn’t being hating on them it’s just facts

😂😂

I lived in London for a few years and patiently explained to my English friends the depravity of English history in Ireland - they were disgusted (they had no idea). But we were all the better for it ...

Yikes that’s not true for all of us…I don’t hate them but i don’t appreciate the past and present things done by the british.

Hating Guinness is a step too far. Citizenship revoked.

@@stiofain88 u can have it ashamed of this country anyway it's corrupt government I'll gladly give it up no problem

They keep marginalizing us man! 😆 Red heads 🤘🏻

Scandinavia brought the red hair. Celts have brown eyes and copper hair, like many Irish, since they are predominantly Celtic historically speaking.

Go to Norway, that's the land of the Red Heads.

​@robertchiarizia9463 I am a natural Irish redhead, but it isn't true that it originated in Scandinavia. It comes from central Asia. Ancient Greeks and Siberbians could have red hair. It's definitely more prevalent in Ireland and Scotland.

@@jennyhenderson7889 because of migrations to Ireland red hair is prevalent. Red hair is not indigenous to Ireland save what the Tuatha De Danaan brought with them. Ultimately Red hair and freckles comes from our Neanderthal ancestors mixed into our bloodlines way back in time. That's why you see them get bad hips and knees real easy when they get old. Prone to arthritis as well with the Neanderthal markers.

You mean Londonistan

Hopefully the future will brighten for both. I’m British-irish so I’d probably want that though.

@@shaggyonatruck6643 yes I agree 👍🏽

I have an Irish friend. We hate the British. I also refuse to go to either places. England, because it sucks to live there because of all their stupid laws and other bureaucratic shit, and Ireland because they’re all psychos with very rare occasions.

Every nation has had slaves. Your logic here is silly.

@@killakitakong509 that’s literally wrong, irish people never engaged in the slave trade as the comment said, we were the ones colonised

SPUDS 🥔 !!!! Woohoo! 🙌🏻 🍟

they do love a good old laugh about the famine / genocide right enough. must of heard it every day for 10 years in London. it's funny until it's not. I know we make jokes about the holocaust. just not while occupying their country. maybe? I dunno

​@@robertchiarizia9463 actually, to make that analogy more accurate, you would find yourself being German, making holocaust jokes every time you met Jewish people. which is insane now I think about it. that's bad craic.

@@longshotkdb wtf are you on about dude. I said one word, spuds, and you go on some political diatribe. Brah, get over yourself. Your information isn't that interesting.

Same I'm sorry for our government though (From a 50/50 Irish Brit)

I feel like these days it is quite a minority of the Irish who don’t like English, I understand why Irish hate English however I think the emperor must be blamed on more rather than the people. I like the current king of Britain King Charles he as well love Ireland and Irish

@@freneticness6927 eh no we were subservient to them and rebelled many times already outnumbered out gunned always a blood sacrifice always knowing we be slaughtered but we wanted are own independence like you want air. But we had to keep our message to the world that we wanted to be free or die as men. It’s in the blood or DNA and lives in the blood of certain families. I’m sick and down to see some can’t understand and still carry hate or poison for the other side.

You say that, but it was your countrymen who were gloating over the Ariana Grande concert bombing in Manchester, so you tell me 🤷

English. Politicians and unelected bureaucrats.

Don’t think they even understand it tho it’s why they laugh ireland is big on potatoes even nowadays and in the past so

The stereotype comes from the “famine” though.

@@G.K92the reason it’s so prominent is because of the great hunger though

@@phillynott1060had teachers belt it into my head that it wasn’t a famine because there was food. England just took it. Imagine exporting food from a starving population. Mental 😞

I'm fairly sure that there were Honda civics, Subarus and Mitchsubishis outside too....

That was Roy Rogers he loves wedding.

Was brobaly a gypsie not real irish

You put chips on it, often no beans or mushrooms, no fried bread and why in the name of christ invent white pudding? It's just grain. You do however do a good bacon and cabbage once you have the right sauce.

@@Peter-uw5cqUs Irish always have beans and mushrooms. At home you’d get the fried brown soda bread too. I’m starving for one now while we’re talking about it.

Who doesn’t like you ? The English or Irish? And why they don’t like you ?

Huh

I think ulster should just be it's own separate country from the rest of the Ireland as well as not be part of the uk.

Our viewpoint is that the people living in Northern Ireland should decide. Not us, and not Dublin.

They belong to the people of northern ireland. Ireland was only ever unified under the british.

It's morally acceptable to hate anglosaxons
