@DylanGirvann @BillyMu79605159 @RadioClydeNews @HumzaYousaf @jackfostr same reason a man utd supporter is for anybody playing against city, or arsenal are for anybody against tottenham.

@stephenhester28 @BBCBreaking maybe make it a triple bill and let boris play too

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@michaelj_y @MadBeare @nycguidovoice furthermore, i think it serves the political aims of unionists, particularly in england, to paint scotland as a fully willing partner in crime with no nuance whatsoever, which has nothing to complain about, "unlike those irish." when the truth is much more complex

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@michaelj_y @MadBeare @nycguidovoice and i dont make excuses for scotland; its involvement in empire was reprehensible. but southern nationalists in ireland often are more than a little bit hypocritical as far as involvement in the empire is concerned and the countries pasts are not as different as people make out

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@michaelj_y @MadBeare @nycguidovoice that wasnt the plantation itself though, the active attempt at colonisation was the initial state-led plantation, not the stray immigrants that came later.

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@michaelj_y @MadBeare @nycguidovoice yes, i know. i didnt dispute that

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@RoberBrandt @MadBeare @nycguidovoice the northern nationalists are still dominated by the left, but that's almost always true for any anti-imperialist, self-determinist party that hasnt acheived its aims yet

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@RoberBrandt @MadBeare @nycguidovoice aye, but thats mostly because of their hostility to sinn fein and acquiescence to the british government re: the north. their roots are firmly in the nationalists of the 1920s though, as are fianna fail, and thats around the time that irish nationalism lurched right in the south

@Dashfah1 @MadBeare @nycguidovoice elizabeth the first dipshit

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@MadBeare @nycguidovoice *clarification; she started the planning of it, king james i actually started implementint it

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@MadBeare @nycguidovoice queen elizabeth of england started the plantation of ulster and 50% of the settlers were from the north of england. the scottish role is very much overstated. furthermore, scotland was basically neocolonised before neocolonialism was a thing via trade war and implicit threat

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@MadBeare @nycguidovoice ireland had it worse than scotland, indisputably. but the fine gael, conservative nationalists have engaged in plenty of mythmaking about irelands role in expanding the empire since independence. it isnt anywhere near as clear cut - and my parents are donegal catholic republicans

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@MadBeare @nycguidovoice oh aye and irish catholics owned slave ships and slaves too lmao
william ronan, benjamin mcmahon, felix doran, david tuohy

why do you think theres such strong irish influence in the dialects of the west indies? its not just from indentured servants (which many scots were too)

[tom @tomeatsrocks]

@KingBearcrusher @musicstruggles1 on the one hand i do think xcx's statement is extraordinarily obnoxious, arrogant and annoying, and grimes is well known for being childish and strange in a bad way, but they are both very well known musicians and, in this case, i absolutely believe grimes.

@Dannyschlz @LayahHeilpern this is hilarious
