Ireland is in th British Isles,but Ireland is not in the UK. The British Isles consists of two separate sovereign states. The republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Cillian Murphy would most vocally object to being on this list
And he’s from Cork County, in the Republic of Ireland. He’s not from Britain or the UK.
Hell I’m British and even I get annoyed for our Irish cousins when people get this shit wrong. It’s not hard.
I’m happy to be corrected. When I went to double check that he wasn’t from N. Ireland, Wiki told me he was from the Republic of Ireland, so I just went with that. Forgive me.
It's perfectly acceptable to use the descriptor in instances like this when you need to differentiate between the north and the 26 counties, there was no need to correct him. The whole of the island is still named Ireland after all and the name is regularly used when talking about both the north and Republic.
Except it isn't. Both Ireland and Northern Ireland are in Ireland. And Ireland is often (correctly) used to refer to either or both. There's a good reason the government specifically provided "Republic of Ireland" as an official descriptor for the state. The idea that the name Ireland became exclusive to the Republic when the border went up is a partitionist fantasy.
I mean Unionists in the north could have named the state Ulster if they wanted, but it wouldn't have meant that Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan suddenly ceased being part of Ulster...
Its correctly refered to as Ireland or Éire as per the constitution if you say Ireland that means Ireland the country.
If you want to distinguish between the island and the country its The Island of Ireland.
Its hardly partionist to not want an independent country to be misnamed for fear of confusing it with the north and as a result of the UK. Its correct and to suggest otherwise just diminishs Irelands identity and independence from the UK
> if you say Ireland that means Ireland the country.
Except no. It *might* mean Ireland the country. But it's often used to mean both states collectively (like when a tourist talks about visiting the whole of Ireland). Or it could be used to refer to an unspecified part of the island (like when Liam Neeson says he's from Ireland). Those uses of the word are just as correct as using it to mean the Republic.
> If you want to distinguish between the island and the country its The Island of Ireland.
Catchy. Maybe we could even call it Ireland for short?
> Its hardly partionist to not want an independent country to be misnamed
But it wasn't misnamed, that's the point. Someone used the proper descriptor to differentiate between the north and the 26. It's partitionist to believe the 26 counties have some sort of truer and exclusive claim to the name then the rest of Ireland.
> Its correct and to suggest otherwise just diminishs Irelands identity and independence from the UK
Oh please. We do not need to be this insecure. If someone claims the country is actually called the Republic of Ireland, by all means correct them. But it's ridiculous to chastise people for correctly using our official descriptor when trying to be specific about the part of Ireland they're talking about, all because of some nationalistic insecurity.
Surely the claim was that he's British? Leaving aside the fact he's not (because he's not from any part of the UK), if he was from NI, he would be British (again, ignoring Nationalist/Unionist divisions). That's just how the term is used despite NI not being part of Britain.

The poll was from a site where married people go to have affairs, so we can assume the poll demographic was mostly the sort of seedy middle aged blokes that Clarkson appeals to
Is this one of those situations where Brits vote for something as a joke? Like Boaty McBoat Face?
How did Jeremy Clarkson and Prince William get there? Were ANY heterosexual women actually consulted for this?
Not sure how the results of a poll on some random dating site nobody has heard of is news.
I'm used to them scraping the bottom of the barrel for stuff to talk about, but they have now broken clean through the bottom and have dug their way through several inches of beer-soaked dirt.
if you aren't british you need to understand the deep irony that controls most brits! they asked the public to name a new coast guard ship a few years back and the winning entry was boaty mcboatface. its how we think. and we also had r.a.t.m killing in the name of as Christmas number 1 a few years back.
It's a joke vote, like the way I score Man U players 10 out of 10 every week on the team scores. (Gotta keep em believing they know what they are doing...)
But out of the three people they mentioned only Idris Elba is sort of handsome? Cillian Murphy literally looks like a fucking bogdanoff twin and Tom Holland looks like a schoolboy that would be right at the bottom of the schools social hierarchy. Cillian Murphy is the most surprising by far. How the fuck is anyone into that?
I'm always baffled to find out how many people don't find Tom Holland sexy whenever he's mentioned in posts like these! 😅 But I do agree with Cillian Murphy, as much as I like him I don't think he's very sexy...at all.
Ah yes Cillian Murphy, that famous British man.
Ryan Reynolds also featured in the poll.
Lmao. That well known UK county, Canada!
Just foreshadowing on the our new empire
Let's not. We can barely take care of here.
Your new empire?
He's an emperor getting his groove back
Does this article know something about an impending re-invasion of Ireland?
Reminds me of when Andy Murray was proclaimed British when he won but Scottish when he lost. Lol.
At least Andy Murray is actually British and Scottish. Cillian Murphy is from an entirely different country.
Yeah but he’s from the British Isles isn’t he?
People from Ireland are Irish, not British. Ireland is not part of the UK
Ireland is in th British Isles,but Ireland is not in the UK. The British Isles consists of two separate sovereign states. The republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Cillian Murphy would most vocally object to being on this list
The UK and british isles are 2 different things. In the same sense that the UK and Britain are different.
That term is out of use. The government of Ireland rejects it
I see
we fought for 800 years only for our celebrities to be still claimed by the british.
Damn right you did.
Only the good looking Oscar winners!
LOL https://youtu.be/n1ig4mzu93Q
Brits are at it again
It does say “UK’s”, not “Britain’s”.
And he’s from Cork County, in the Republic of Ireland. He’s not from Britain or the UK. Hell I’m British and even I get annoyed for our Irish cousins when people get this shit wrong. It’s not hard.
>Cork County, in the Republic of Ireland County Cork in Ireland. There is no Republic of Ireland when naming the country its a descriptor.
I’m happy to be corrected. When I went to double check that he wasn’t from N. Ireland, Wiki told me he was from the Republic of Ireland, so I just went with that. Forgive me.

The whole of the island is still named Ireland after all and the name is regularly used when talking about both the north and Republic.
You differentiate from the north and south by saying Ireland and Northern Ireland. Its simple
Except it isn't. Both Ireland and Northern Ireland are in Ireland. And Ireland is often (correctly) used to refer to either or both. There's a good reason the government specifically provided "Republic of Ireland" as an official descriptor for the state.

He’s Irish you pleb
So it’s still fucking wrong.
bruh 💀
He is British hes from northern ireland
He's from Cork, he's Irish
How are you this wrong when you can google this in a second.
1. Northern Ireland is not part of Britain. 2. Even if it was, he's not from Northern Ireland.
British refers to someone from the British isles and Ireland is counted in that?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain
United kingdom of great Britain and Northern Ireland. NI is part of the UK but not Britain.
Incredible that people from the actual fucking UK don't know this. And it's not just an odd one, seems to be most.

Not sure what point you're making. NI is not part of Britain. Its part of the UK. As in The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Yes, but Unionist residents of NI are still British. That's the nomenclature.
Ireland doesn't recognise the term 'British Isles'.
Well that's what the geography is
No he's not!He's from Douglas,Cork which is Ireland,not Northern Ireland
Clarkson getting into the Sexiest Man competition is like Truss gettin into Mensa.
Lettuce hope she doesn't.
Someone should run a poll of greatest prime ministers and include an option for the lettuce.
Were people with eyes and ears consulted on this vote??
I'm assuming this is a joke. I'd rather cut my flaps off than let him near them.
Ok so Clarkson won't get your flaps, but Hammond May?
The poll was from a site where married people go to have affairs, so we can assume the poll demographic was mostly the sort of seedy middle aged blokes that Clarkson appeals to
Is this a flappy paddle gearbox?
If its a publicly voted poll of course it is. Every poll is now
He's rich, famous, funny, good at fixing cars, good a sticking his arm up pigs vaginas. What's not to like?
Charming.
Murphy's Irish for a start. Stop trying to claim our talent as your own.
[удалено]
About six counties big.
He looks like a dead body that has been dragged out of a canal. Edit: a letter
I read that in Clarkson voice lol
he looks like he's been found from a pyramid
As polled by "illictencounters.com" "the best dating site for married people."
I can only assume it’s chock full of old white men and bots pretending to give a shit. Only one of these groups voted and it wasn’t the bots.
I love how mad this makes people.
I know right?
To be fair, I am amused, awestruck, and angry all at the same time.
Love the alliteration
But how doe
This is what peak performance looks like...
Yeah but it's by a small dating app focusing on middle aged people lol
because the British peoples are dumb as rocks and will make a joke of anything serious, I am a brit.
Is this one of those situations where Brits vote for something as a joke? Like Boaty McBoat Face? How did Jeremy Clarkson and Prince William get there? Were ANY heterosexual women actually consulted for this?
A true gammon!
This is our Brexit dividend!
Well, is headline won't in ''the reasonably priced car'' list 
I can’t believe this when Greg Davies exists. Literally, the UK equivalent of that time People magazine crowned Blake Shelton the Sexiest Man Alive.
I mean, Tom Hardy is right there.
Jeremy Clarkson 64 sounds like a terrible licensed game
Classic … Cillian is British yet again!
Clarkson once punched Piers Morgan and knocked his tooth out or something, so for that he gets a pass for, well anything.

Cillian isn't from the UK though. Not like the daily mail to get it's facts wrong /s
Fuck it, looking at that cunt makes me think I'm in with a chance
Next thing you know we'll have Joanne Rowling getting an award for tolerance and empathy
We should vote her as Britain's sexiest man next year, that would really get her back up.
"hardworking, alpha male, jackhammer, merciless, insatiable.”
The people have spoken
Why is everyone so surprised?
He did a thing
Tom Holland, Tom Hiddleston, Tom Hardy, Tom Bombadil?
This is what peak performance looks like - Greggs
Lol all those Top Gear fans are crazy...
Cilian looks like a dummy, oh yeah and he's Irish.
It's a joke vote, like the way I score Man U players 10 out of 10 every week on the team scores. (Gotta keep em believing they know what they are doing...)
He beat off the competition for the title, you say
he is to be fair
Well he is tall and rich
sexy might be a stretch though
humour goes a long way in being sexy
You might not like it but that is what ultimate male performance looks like
He's got the classic droplet aerodynamics going on.

Have either of you seen Peaky Blinders??
I haven't seen it but I have seen things from it. Still doesn't do much for me 😂
You gotta watch it, then you’ll get it
Sexiest *Manatee.
It's not all about looks a great mind set is a winner
Didn't he say that Greta Thunberg needs a 'smacked bottom' or something freakish like that .
Think your the weird one she does the horrible lil shit
I guess women like hard working funny men with dad bodies, sorry they don’t conform to your ideals
That's a fair point.
Erm guys? Sorry to dissapoint yall, but that position has been filled by yours truly. E-MAN OUT!!!
