  • love the germans
  • be neutral against the germans
  • wouldn’t fight for 6m jewish people
  • illicit vomit
  • keep their lights on at night for nazis
  • help the nazis bomb the brits by keeping their lights on
  • disturb the (mainland) brits whilst they slept

The ‘lights on for the Nazis’ thing is just wild. Does this person think Germany is west of Ireland?

I’m assuming the idea is to fly in the direction of the lights (of Ireland), but drop the bombs before you get there.

I guess… Congrats of those pilots being able to see those lights and calculate their bomb dropping site based on how large they were in the view finder while moving at 400 mph or whatever :smiley:

The Irish all coordinated their lighting so from the air it looked like

they probably don’t know those things happened

(neither did I tbf but then I’m not posting on Twitter to proudly displaying my ignorance to everyone. I keep it inside my head where it belongs!)

Yeah that’s true, I’d imagine they would probably only believe it anyway if Farage or someone posted it. Otherwise it’d be some kind of Irish conspiracy.
Shower of wankers.

This still doesn’t make any sense because you’d have to be flying pretty fucking high over the east coast of England to be able to see Ireland. Just bigoted WAR bullshit innit

That’s hilarious. ‘Like the sauce without the H’

To be fair when I was new in Wales I was the Brit at it again - Buddug is a lovely Welsh name when it’s pronounced correctly (Bithig, roughly, but it’s a nice soft sound and is the Welsh form of Boadicea), but not as it’s spelled in English! Prompted me to learn a lot about Welsh pronunciation.

I think it’s only ever “at it” when someone explains that you’ve been pronouncing the name wrong and you go, “Nope I’m right, you’re wrong”.

Oh, well I didn’t do that! I was just very, very embarrassed.

Can’t believe I’ve been reading the big man’s name wrong all this time.

A bit torn on this TBH. I mean ‘See-oh-barn’ makes me twitch like hell but at the same time read the room and just move on politely, particularly when you know the family history means they aren’t exactly appropriating stuff.

“At it” is just our default state now.

Should make a movie about this, with the added detail that they’re stalked and brutally hunted down one by one
