Irony

[Canary42]

Seeing a reference on another thread to Boris's Dad taking French nationality brought to mind the ironic preferences of the Nearest & Dearest of the two most vociferous anti-EU blokes.

Boris as above, Nigel's wife and daughters taking German nationality. You couldn't make it up.

Nigel has foreign ancestry i believe, grandparents were German i think? and some distant relatives were French Hugenots.

[emmie]

Huguenot that should read.

[Jackdaw33]

As far as I am aware Nigel's wife is German.

[emmie]

if that is Kirsten, then yes she is

[emmie]

i don't think he's a xenophobe, he just wanted us to get out of the bureaucratic nightmare that is the EU

[bobbinwales]

Boris is not he's dad tho

Anti EU does not make someone anti European.

Some people like yourself confuse the Eu and Europe.
They are not the same thing.
It’s like saying many Scottish people are pro SNP and independence and being opposed to either means you hate all Scottish people.
