I can't post this without sounding like a dick.
There's a lad on social media who's quite successfully raising money and awareness for cancer research. He himself has cancer. All his videos are positive and he doesn't bother people about giving money. He's doing great work.
And yet, there's something about him that puts me off. I can't put my finger on it. I have no reason to doubt his story or his sincerity but there's just something there.
Last Lap Lando Norris
Do what?
Messi would never do that.
Ronaldo is just a petulant little child.
Cristiano Ronaldo and everything about him
I forgot about him.
I would love for these people to move to another "white" country that didn't have any colonies and see just how far they would get with their constant criticisms of the natives. I don't think their media would give them the time of day and they would challenge them to back up what they claim.
That's very true, I used to watch it myself thinking that! Coincidentally Bradley Whitford plays that exact smug upper middle class type in Get Out that was being satirised in the film, the exact person you are describing.
Quite bizarre the coverage that got.
Pathetic of the British media/BBC to interview the parents, more of a diversionary tactic to focus light off their own inherently racist society and issues.
Interesting that you say she acknowledges there were Irish slaves, there is an attempt by British revisionists to claim there never were by the likes of Fergal Keane Officer of the British empire, the Irish Times, etc.
The the enslaved and colonised Africans collaborated with the British when the Irish were rebelling and to this day they have no problem being part of the British commonwealth.
Irish slaves never collaborated with British ascendancy (except for the ones in Dublin Castle and Tans 😉)
Being a rank hypocrite is the only quota she needs to fill.
Also, glad I never heard of her up to today.
People who like the TV show The West Wing.
It seemed to be the show for smug upper middle class married types who would relax with a couple of bottles of wine in the evening and chortle at all the supposed witty repartée and continuous zingers in the show.Loved by the type of boring arseholes who are obsessed with American politics and say things like "could there be a chance Texas may turn blue this time round" .
Or they don't like listening to grifters like them who make a living exaggerating racism, it gets tedious after a while when the only thing you appear to be able to talk about is racism , if you look for offence everywhere in life you'll find it most people are far too concerned with their own lives to be racist.
You;d have to be away with the fairies in order to marry and live with Shane McGowan for so long.
She's essentially another version of those women who marry men on death row.
Fair to say, some folk don’t like what they see when the mirror is held up to them.
Yeah they’re professional shıt stirrers full of anger and hatred that only want to polarise societies further. The irony
Ever time she writes or opens her mouth she never stops complaining about growing up in Ireland in the 1980s or the 1990s.
The media never think to ask her for proof about all her allegations that this country is so racist and she doesn't seem to be qualified as a politician, economist, lawyer who is an expert in immigration law etc.
She was on the Tommy Tiernan show and claimed that the Irish were kidnapped to the Caribbean in the 1500s but "They sided with the English Ascendancy" … this is such a lie. There were probably many different groups of Irish and other Europeans who tried to escape, fight back, some " sided" with plantation owners not having much choice etc. That's just one example as to how to twist Irish history and only select certain facts to give an inaccurate story.
You ask me she is just as bad as Ebun Joseph. They do far more harm than good to any race debate by stoking up flames.
Had never heard of her thankfully but yeah after a cursory google she sounds like an awful dose
Victoria Mary Clarke - comes across as away with the fairies.
Dave Gilbert the snooker player. An absolutely hypocritical, smarmy and gobby cùnt. A few years ago he was moaning at Fergal O’Brien for the slowness of Fergal’s play.
Watching him today and by the time he himself finished sizing up every possible angle and shot about 57 times, walking around the table so many times he was in danger of wearing the carpet out ffs…
Also he has this almost permanent arrogant smirk on his face, great shot, bad shot, winning, losing or drawing…
by all accounts not too much liked by fellow players, no surprise there.
David Potts on itv this morning. He has a very strange dress sense (short shorts, big tshirt and high heels). He reckons he has great legs but they are a bit flabby on the inner thighs. He is very camp like the fella from Carry on or coronation street.
That Jonathan Pie fella, a one joke poundshop Gervais.
Des Cahill. An Irish James cordon , brown noser.
She is black and female....is she a lesbian?
If so...she is untouchable...
Emma Dabiri gets on my nerves a lot.
She is constantly criticising the Irish and Ireland despite not living here for 25 years (= quarter of a century). A few visits hardly makes her an expert or spokesperson for this country.
She rarely acknowledges our history except to beat the Irish over the head with a stick …. i.e. given how the Irish were treated/oppressed in the past I don't know why we are seeing all this racism AGAIN from the Irish towards immigrants … what is it with the word "again"? When were we racist in the past?
She was on the Tommy Tiernan show a while back saying that the while the Irish were kidnapped to the Caribbean, once there, they sided with the British. No mention of any rebellions then, no?
Her opinion piece in "The Guardian" is an incessant whine about how she was treated growing up due to the …"Systemic Racism" in the country … see the link below.

In context back in Sept 2023 a video emerged on medals being awarded at a gymnastics competition in Ireland for young girls. The video was from March 2022. While it looked like a black girl was being overlooked it was just an honest mistake. The woman even apologised to the parents.
Twitter/X and the general cesspit that is social media went into meltdown denouncing the woman who made an honest mistake and Ireland was declared by the media (who never bothered to check the facts) to be even more racist than South Africa during the Apartheid era … you all get the drift.
Dabiri could have said that it was an honest mistake, just stayed quiet but instead kept hating the Irish as she usually does.
Why no-one in the media challenges her is beyond me.
the spokesman for IALPA . He just comes across as incredibly arrogant
I don’t think Croke Park was around then 😃
You are correct. Still invited by the Paddy's though
Vincent D’onofrio.
I can’t stand to see him in anything , to the point of I’d turn off the tv rather than sit through it .
I’ll add a “citation needed” to my point, just in case. My history is a little patchy as well but I was reading about him after I’d been in the National Gallery awhile back and that’s what I got from it.
Oh okay, I didn’t realise he had been stripped of the title. My history is a little rusty.
Was he not at odds with the high king and had been stripped of his Leinster title? Thought he invited the lads in to get it all back.
I thought it was Diarmuid MacMurrough, King of Leinster who invited them over to help him out in a dispute with other petty kings?
