Derry Girls Best Moments | "Never Got The Abortion... Lucky For You" | The Wee English Fella

"If anything the gay thing sort of cancels out the English thing" is one of my favourite lines ever. Bless this show

@Merlin Emrys it means that assuming James is gay, the fact that he's English will be overlooked, mainly if he IS gay but James isn't, so 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

[@tompengelly8030]

I love how they get so much gay support into this show, especially considering its set in the 90s 🤣

I like how as the series goes on, James gets more confident and fed up with everything, kind of emulates Michelle honestly

I love how Grandpa Joe is super mean to Gerry and super anti orange and what not (even to the point of potentially helping a terrorist), and yet is the only one that is nice to James (in his own way) entrusting him with the tent, and even appologizing to him after accusing him of being a rapist. XD

[@chingizzhylkybayev8575]

*Granda Joe, but yeah)

[@kristinesharp6286]

That was a backhanded compliment. Not being nice. He was being amusing to himself and others present by saying that to James. Still managed to insult Jerry as well.

Grandpa Joe constantly insults Gerry, but once when he was high from eating cannabis-laced scones, he actually showed a fondness for him.

[@sparkydoodle96]

@@shadowthief9577 well i mean when you think about it he is at least half irish, and considering the fact that his mother got pregnant in derry and had to go to england to get an abortion i would also assume his father is irish too. so basically james is ethnically irish with an english accent. they never acknowledge this, which i find fascinating

In interviews, Dylan Llewellyn - the actor who plays James - has spoken about how he has trouble understanding the accents on set, which added to the confusion of his character.

[@christinamaguire7405]

So funny and spot on. My husband's name is James Maguire grew up in Ireland. Makes it even funnier.

Isn’t James only english by raising? Wouldn’t he be irish by blood?

[@liamcollins9183]

@@doracheng6620 yeah didn't his mum get pregnant in Derry, then go to England for the abortion, before meeting his step-dad? So he'd be fully Irish by blood, but once people hear his accent they probably wouldn't care.

[@hcb3150]

Genetics don’t matter you’re still the “English cousin”

[@rachelfox8108]

He is, but culture-wise and place of birth counts as English. (It's similar for me -- I'm half-Scottish (father is from Glasgow) and have some Irish ancestry, but by place of birth and raising would count as English.)

[@lifeofabronovich7792]

I guess it’s a similar story as with myself. My parents are originally from India, but I’ve spent my whole life in the US, so while I am proud of my Indian heritage, I identify more with American culture and customs since that’s how I was raised. So since James was born and raised in England he probably considers himself more English than Irish.

[@tuckerchristiansen8812]

Not the last time I checked. We walked up to them, as you do, and said "Hey, we'd like to be in charge of this place here" and the Irish said "Yes!! Subdue us!" and that was how Northern Ireland came to be. Our history is full of flower and kittens. We love each other so much that we don't enjoy it when the other one loses in the six nations.

Question ...... why do Irish and English have this animosity 😂😂😅?

[@peterjackson3307]

Because the English oppressed the Irish and ruled over them for centuries?

[@kristinesharp6286]

The English starved them, burned them off this land and set up poor houses and soup kitchens for those who agreed to convert. And they still haven’t left. In just the 1800’s Ireland went from 4 million to 2 million. 1 million died, 1 million left the country and some of the 2 million converted. Centuries before England set foot in North America they were practicing colonialism in Ireland. It’s not the religion part. You don’t have to be Catholic in the rest of Ireland or any religion actually. The Protestants are the descendants from English who took the land or descendants from Irish who were converts. It was a convert if you want the soup to starving people. I’m american and family came to the US at various points in history from Belfast and county Mayo. The entire island. I’m old enough to remember some of them. My Chicago neighborhood in the 80’s would bring kids over for weeks in summer to get them away from it and see a peaceful way to live. Yes I said Chicago and peace in the same sentence.
