That Sarkovsky guy (I can't remember how to spell it and can't be arsed googling.) The guy who runs France. Is it him? No but I agree with your analysis so I'm giving you 10 points anyway. It is a political figure though. Middle Eastern or Mediterranean? Or is it Tony Blair again? |

I've checked the rules and there's nothing in there about not banning rival competitiors

OK, my next guesses were Dodi Fayed or that American actor whose name I can't recall.
But the 'no foreigners' rule means it must be a UKan or, outside chance, a rpaddy.
So it's Leon Brittan . . no?
Britton?
You know who I mean. I just am so carefree tonight I've given up googling to make sure I'm spelling names correctly.
(NB. 'rpaddy' means someone who actually is Irish, a real Paddy. cf ppaddy, short for plastic paddy, to refer to someone who is more Irish than the hills of Donegal because of his dear old Gran and has been to Dublin twice now on stag weekends and who sings IRA songs, supports Celtic and demands his rights as an ethnic minority.)

Do you think that you get Plastic Pakistanis too?
You know, like the guys over here who've lived here all their lives and go back to Pakistan for a few holidays and go on about how Pakistani they are? Do you think the real Pakistanis look down their noses at them for their ersatz and frankly embarassing ways?

They probably do what the Dubliners here do and live in blissful ignorance of them most of the time but when faced with their existence just shake their heads and laugh and get on with their lives. Or milk them dry with endless services offering to trace their family back to ancient cobblers in Moneygall. Cobblers being the clue. |

Just bumping the photo further up the thread again so I don't have to keep scrolling down. Are you sure it's not Nigel Lawson or Leon Brittwhatever?  ? I can't think of a single Labour figure who is as swarthy as that. |

But we call it 'the diaspora' because we're pretenting to be a grown-up nation and not at all a laughing stock. |

There are West Brits here. They have these accents that are supposed to be English and they secretly like British things like the Queen and buy the royal-fanzines and English papers and they go to Wimbledon once a year and try to send their kids to Eton. I get mistaken for one sometimes even though I do none of those things, except read the Daily Telegraph, it is annoying but my mum gets mistaken for one a lot and she goes mad.
An Irish man once called her a West Brit (perjorative term naturally) to her face whereupon she drew herself up tall and shouted 'I am not a West Brit - I am a British Subject' which told him.
West Brits are complicated little things. I don't think the British know about them and the Irish hate them. The term is from the British who came here and tried to turn Ireland into a little Britain (West of Britain) but most of the British who come here now are interested in turning a little Irish.
