[@enkiofsumer8374]

So glad to see you reacting to Al Murray Eddy. Big thumbs up.

[@Lillian-Alice-Margaret]

My granda is from Limerick. It's a beautiful place

[@mazt68]

Eddie you're right France also colonised African countries. France had 20 colonies Britain 22! Of course a few of those were "inherited" from Germany due to WWI e.g Uganda. Everyone likes to bash the UK because we had an Empire while totally ignoring the Empires & colonisation by Spain Portugal & France.

[@martinbobfrank]

Yeah, yeah and everyone ignores the fact that France has extorted a lot of African countries through their trickery and massive payouts to corrupt African leaders! Whereas we British told everyone off for selling their people to the cheapest bidders, and then running off and blaming us British!

[@hiramabiff2017]

How can we not be great ?. Throughout the whole of history no other empire apart from Great Britain ever used it's power & might , even though detrimental to it's wealth, in the moral crusade to end slavery across this globe and bring into law any man woman or child who stands on British soil is automatically a free human being. I would call that being " Great " in anyone's books.

Absolute nonsense you know absolutely nothing

[@hiramabiff2017]

@@saorsa5 hahaha 😅🤣 I obviously know more than you. It's called " Education ". You should try it.

[@martinbobfrank]

@@saorsa5 What absolute rubbish that @hiramabiff2017 stated. Does conquering 2/3 of the world count, No. Does dropping the Americans whilst battling Napolean count, no. What about inventing the train system (at the time) and modern (at the time) factories, no. What about medicine, no, what about showing the world how to run something bigger than a sweet counter, no? Well, there were a few mistakes such as taking on WWI. WWII (we won, but had to give everything away to pay the rent) and giving women the right to vote and complain to their husbands about PMT (which we fixed by giving them pills and little feminine products). NOTHING!

[@MichaelLamming]

You should watch " the British crusade against slavery ". It's excellent 👌

[@kevin982]

Yep, you are Irish. Saying the word shite is more than good enough for me.

[@paulbromley6687]

If we’d had nice weather we would never have had an empire.

[@paulbromley6687]

I recon the French we’re trying to corner the world future sand demands with their empire where the British went for nice weather and spicy food futures.

[@MrDaiseymay]

MANY PEOPLE THERE, ARE ACTUALLY GETTING A EDUCATION

[@paulbromley6687]

It’s because Brittany in France would be confused so we became Great Britain

[@martinbobfrank]

I thought it was because France tried to do a British theme, but we had to show them how to do it properly! So we had to call it Great Britain to lessen the confusion with Brittany, Little Britain or shitty Fench Britain. Okay, that seemed to work :)

[@dorothysimpson2804]

Great means largest. Great Britain is the largest island in the British Isles.

[@chrismccann9302]

thats how when they seen the first playn they crspped them selfs

[@Eddie-ol9cv]

Lol 👍 😅😂

[@mrtoffees1202]

I respect your decision....... but not your choice in football 😂😂

[@eileencorcoran3057]

Hahaha funny he is great. ....hahaha....he is a Piss- taker.. ...xxx

[@The_Prophet...]

Its called Great Britain because England & Wales is Britain after the Act of the Union in 1707 between Scotland and England so It became Great Britain so Scotland put the Great in Britain

[@martinbobfrank]

I thought it was because it was great of us to put up with Scotland for so long. Come on, if you want to sod off it's over there!

[@The_Prophet...]

@@martinbobfrank Yer now Islam putting up with the English did you not do history at school it gets the Great cause the whole of Britain comes together like Greater Manchester or Greater London you complete melt

[@The_Prophet...]

@@martinbobfrank See the child in yer picture is that a kid or a chimp?

[@The_Prophet...]

@@martinbobfrank And with a last name Flanagan your not even Great British your Irish roots ya clown 🤣

[@martinbobfrank]

@@The_Prophet... Well, hopefully, you did history at school as your English is rubbish, but there again, what does Islam know about history being a late starter! Plus, it's a good job you weren't around during James Vi time as he called himself 'King of Great Britain and Ireland' in 1607, well before the 1707 Act of Unions that referred to the 'Kingdom of Great Britain.' There was also Brittany, where a lot of British people went after the Romans left to escape the Saxons. So the rest of Britain called itself Great Britain as it was a much bigger island. What the hell are you talking about 'Greater Manchester' or 'Greater!' It's simply a place that takes the money for several areas close to it. That place will soon be a bucket, much like London, with all its rubbish from other countries!

[@saorsa5]

No such country Britain is not a country

[@MrDaiseymay]

CORRECT, AS THE MAN SAID, WE ARE, GREAT BRITAIN.

[@martinbobfrank]

@@MrDaiseymay Yeah, Great Britain but it could have been Great England really, although it doesn't sound as good. It would have also upset the Scots and Welsh who need to feel they have done something.
