Theyre somehow going to claim An Cailín Ciúin is British too. They’re too used to stealing things they just can’t stop
They’re probably doing it on purpose now just to get a rise out of us.
This is exactly the point I’ve made to English neighbours in the past. I was born in England, but am an Irish citizen through my parents, and grew up in a large Irish community in London. The school was predominantly Irish, the church was Irish, spent a lot of time in Ireland, so I class myself as Irish, ( helped a lot by having English neighbours telling me to piss off back to Ireland, calling me and my family a bunch of terrorists, etc. during the 80s and 90s). When those same neighborhours moved onto Islamophobia, they would see me as English. All of a sudden I wasn’t Irish to them anymore. It’s hilarious, and infuriating.
He better sue for defamation
It’s actually beyond ridiculous how this keeps on happening..
At this point im convinced they are doing this on purpose. The BBC can get fucked.
Wait for the “poor Irish actor didn’t win”
If you were broadcasting on some little local channel with no resources I could excuse this, but this is the BBC. It has huge research capability, and people paid to know and find out these things. It even has entire units dedicated to film and entertainment news and is one of the world’s largest and most respected news gathering organisations.
Also there’s no shortage of information online these days. Two seconds googling is all it would take!
It’s like they suffer from Ireland blindness.
Invariably, whenever this is brought up, some gammon says something like “Oh, well, British **ISLES** then”, which is my main reason for hating that term. It’s a geographical term, they cry, while only using it as a way to excuse themselves for using British to describe an Irish person. Never not at it.

Good thing they haven’t seen the British movie “The Banshees of Inisherin”…
How? He grew up in Maynooth, with a Mother named Dearbhla. How the fuck are they getting British out of that?
They do be at it awful hard
England, we’ve talked about this, you can have McGregor but don’t be taking our young actors.
They’re always at it
Reset the counter! Oh wait… it was already at zero.
