British writer and journalist Melanie Phillips
A tiresome old jingoist Brit
Had a brain fart and sat to write it
Her boring fixation
With this blessed nation
Caused twitter to have a shit fit.

holy sheeeeeit. it reads like a waterford whispers article. wonder what she’d say if someone said Britain isn’t genuine because it used to be a part of the Roman empire
Hah! :)
She has no idea but it is good to see she is promoting a united Ireland.
“Ms Philips writes that Unionists in Northern Ireland are “not British”.
She continues: “They’re the bit that got tacked on to Great Britain to make the UK.”
— History isn’t her strong suit.
*Fake* War of Independence?
If we go with Melanie’s thinking, that negates the sovereignty of many many nations. Gas.
THE SUN NEVER SETS ON THE BRITISH EMPIRE
this only confirms my suspicions. not only is ireland not real, but neither are youse. i’m not even sure whether i even exist sometimes..
Melanie Phillips isn’t even consistent in her own argument. Northern Unionists are not British, because they’re within the UK, not Britain, but Ireland only seceded from Britain in ’22, therefore having tenuous claim to nationhood. Last I heard, pre-Free State Ireland wasn’t British either, as it resided within the U.K., and not Britain. So seemingly nationhood on these islands, England, Wales and Scotland included, only became firmed up on the Act of Union. I suppose it makes about as much sense as anything else Phillips has to say on world affairs. How to reconcile the validity of Israeli nationhood by this line of thinking though? Isn’t 1948 a bit fresher than 1922?
Would this be the same Israel that the Irish aren’t shy at taking a pop at ?
She reminds me of Terry Prone…
Mind you, funny would be the north voting for unification and south voting against, which could well happen!
I think the North is more likely to go independent first. Then eventually we shack up.
She reminds me of

A bitter, hirsute, worthy scribe
And his social justice warrior tribe
All got into a bit of a lather
At some neanderthal’s provocative blather
And reverting to type said “let’s imbibe”
Ah, yeah, Mad Mell. proud to say she has me blocked on twitter. I remember her Guardian days when she was only half mad. That a rabid Zionist racist would have the cheek to write that piece is hilarious.
