Missing ''English'' 11 year old could be in Ireland

Usual Indo bullsh!t, the child in question is a Traveller and brought up in a ''foreign country'' so she isn't ''one of us''

Not sure what your point is, am I missing a bit where it says she's Irish and 'not one of us?. All I see is an article on a missing English child from a traveller family

Yeah, it says she is from England. If she was born in England, raised in England, then she's English, regardless of whether she is a traveller or not.

Well, that's the famous Irish Diaspora well and truly fucked then, along with over half the irieland football team for the last 30 years...

Actually .... I think Ireland says your Irish if you have Irish Grandparents.

But do you not have to go through certain processes like gaining citizenship and the like?

Did you actually read the article you mentioned? The headline calls her English, not one of us! All The Independant did was quote the Metropolitan Police saying she has family connections to Ireland.

Did you follow "The Gathering" promotion? As far as the Irish government are concerned you can be considered Irish if you have Irish ancestry. Which is how it works everywhere. I have a friend who was born in Ireland and grew up here, but he still considers himself Sudanese, where his parents are from. Nothing wrong with that.

I just don't get the offense taken by labelling this child as English or Irish. There is a child missing somewhere, possibly in Ireland, and this is what you pick on?

You must have linked the wrong article, your 2 specific quotes are nowhere to be found.

Bit like Big Fat Gipsy Wedding calling everyone on it an 'Irish' traveller even when they, and their parents, have been born and raised in England.

Whats going on here? I all read was an article asking people to keep an eye out for a missing child.

A lot of English people wouldn't consider someone born in England of two Irish parents as English. Sorry from somebody who was in that position, I certainly know.

And they certainly wouldn't consider someone English if they have a Irish traveller accent!

So you may not consider her Irish, thats fair enough, but most people in England wouldn't consider her English either!

Ah begorrah shure it's just like the Flight of the Doves film isn't it now.

I think my laptop has a virus. The URL says boards.ie but the content is from the Journal.ie comments section.

What's your beef with the English?

No beef with the English, it's the Indo, I remember a few years back there was some bloke who committed some misdemeanor or other with an Irish name, and an appearance in the photo cuffed to a Guard that looked like a cross between Podge and Rodge and Finbarr Furey, it was bleeding obvious the bloke was Irish and not English, yet every paragraph in the Indo piece began with 'Englishman' or 'Wolverhampton-born''.

So it was obvious that someone looked Irish?

I revert back to my previous question.

What am I supposed to be mad about this time?

I just hope the wee un gets found.

Jaysus, I think he's right. :eek:

Wexford funnyman K.C. Whelan, Frank Sinnott and Leo Carty will all have their 15 minutes of fame next week when they appear alongside comedian Lenny Henry in his new series Lenny's Britain'.

Earlier in the year K.C., Frank and Leo were all interviewed by the English comic as part of a four programme series which tries to define the sense of humour in Britain and Ireland.

Its bleeding obvious that Lenny Henry is Jamaican, dirty Indo bullshitting scum.

And I bet the wexford claim is deliberate nonsense too.

Maybe we could all keep an eye out for this little girl instead of bull****ting about her Nationality.

I hope she's found safe and sound.
