Haven't they been complaining about English immigration for centuries?

He has a legitimate right to call himself Irish unfortunately, but the irish are not complaining about this any more than the Americans are claiming drinking bleach cures covid.

Anyone reading this thinking he may actually have a chance: No.

Thankfully we're all still fairly rational and rapist right wing clowns don't get elected on anti-immigration platforms.

Hey, that's what I thought in 2015. Take it seriously or join the FAFO, it is very unfun.

This rapist can get fucked, he sat on his hole claiming the dole then got picked for the shortest run of fights to champ. He is a piece of shit, maybe there would be less immigrants if he had bothered to work for a living.

The Irish left Ireland and built the world, immigrants did the same in Ireland.

Fuck McGregor
