Kosovo (not a country) gets an olympic team

>Kosovo (not a country) gets an olympic team

Meanwhile
>England, Scotland, Wales, & Northern Ireland all participate under 'Team GB'
>Northern Ireland's not even fucking part of Great Britain
Is there a specific reason for any of this?

Isle of Man isn't even part of the UK but it's still British and thus included with Team GB

Team GB is a brand name which you shouldn't take literally.

Britain is gorgeous
Having a team England and Scotland etc is not at noble

Do Monaco and Andorra compete as French? Honest question

>>Taiwan (not a country) gets an olympic team
No they don't they get a meme name like Chinese Taipei and can't bring the Taiwanese flag into stadiums

Good point user.. maybe Canada should be on your team too

Andorra are separate I don't know about Monaco

Look what happens to Great Britain's football teams.

Being spread out into half a dozen meme countries is pointless and counter-productive.

GB would have at least one more world cup if they weren't playing as divided rosters.

>Team GB is a brand name which you shouldn't take literally.

This. The official name is Team Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is shortened to GBR.

Australia is a meme country, England and Scotland actually have different cultures and heritage

All pasty, balding and with shit teeth?

Monaco is separate as well

Andorra would be half spanish and half french. But it's a totally independent country.

Do you guys think a Commonwealth country could beat the US in medals (most gold, most medals, per capita, however the fuck you determine it)?

Northern Irish athletes get to choose whether they represent Team GB or Ireland in the Olympics.

No, all cucking over countries with the Union Jack in the upper left corner to remind them who is on top and supplying the dick

When all is said and done, the rivalries you buy into are short-sighted and cosmetic.

The aristocracy is still at the top, the pub goers are all the same, the language barriers are non-existent.

Hell I consider New Zealand as nothing more than an extra Australian state with a few different rules.

There should be more unity between the anglos instead of importing asians, south americans and africans.

Only just occurred to me that our national icon isn't even native to the country.

Also, it took me this long to realise the "GB" in Team GB stands for "Great Banter"

Incredible.

>t. Globalistic non country vermin with no national identity

I thought it was GOAT banter

Well, all those regions want to be in GB, and likewise the English wouldn't complain. Idk shit about the political situation in Puerto Rico, but in those other examples, they all desperately want to be considered independent separate entities to Serbia (or even Albania), Israel and China. Despite what the SNP will have you believe, not everyone in Scotland is a nationalist (even the 'nationalists' that there are here would join Team EU ASAP anyway)

Theoretically, if the Falkan Islands had qualifying olympians, would they be independent?

This is an interesting discussion I've actually been thinking about this since the opening ceremony.

The UK is unique in that it is the only multi-national sovereign state in the world, moreover it is a "more perfect union" because it exists by democratic consent. The consent of its MPs via the Acts of Union in 1707 and the direct consent of the British people from two of the four Home Nations (Scotland and NI).

There is a fierce and genuine rivalry between the Home Nations but at the end of the day it only strengthens the Union, the most successful political union in world history.

Take your "cosmetic" bollocks and shove it up your arse, Bruce

>t. Someone who will become a member of the european caliphate while too busy keeping up with traditional British rivalries

>Great Britain is the team that sends athletes from the United Kingdom (UK), all but three of its overseas territories, and the three Crown dependencies to the Olympic Games.
>As the National Olympic Committee (NOC) for the United Kingdom, the British Olympic Association (BOA) membership encompasses the four Home Nations of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales), plus the three Crown dependencies (Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey), and all but three of the British overseas territories (Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bermuda having their own NOCs).

Isn't there a "Team Rapefugees" or something?

Thanks bruh

The Falklands I assume would come under GB like the Isle of Man, unless they have their own olympic committee

Yes. It's just a PR move though. They picked a handful of good looking brown people and hoped that one of them did something good so they could show them off and get lots of media brownie points.

>t. Someone who is letting China buy all of there agriculture and will eventually a country inhabited by East Asians which he only thought they were taken over Sydney not realising that eventually that there will be an overspill from Sydney towards the rest of the "country" until he is living in Darwin sniffing petrol with his abo mates whilst regretting that he could have done something about the back then demographic issue highlighted by a mustard race British gentle being

It's only in the Paralympics North Ireland is separate, right?

So was this whole Brexit thing just a joke or when are you guys invoking Art. 50?

>Meanwhile BREXIT

It's all in the name of banter my friend.

It was a good show Karl but we are not gonna pay for the Nandos membership

Delaying makes our position stronger because the government is not ready in the slightest to negotiate an exit.

Expect to wait for years and years and years, possibly until the EU dies a natural death

Think politicians are afraid to pull the trigger. Even Cameron resigned before enacting it.

no one can beat us

The EU waits us to fuck off, though. They want full withdrawal, can't blame 'em.

I think it won't die, it will just turn into a Yugoslavia

A union between poor slav countrys

what do you use to escape from reality?

>Northern Ireland's not even part of Great Britain

Are you baiting or just a fucking thick cunt?

>The EU waits us to fuck off, though. They want full withdrawal, can't blame 'em.

Of course they do, because that's better for them and worse for us.

But they can't force a British government to send Article 50, they can't really force us to do anything

David Cameron's decision not to enact Article 50 on the morning after the referendum (like he promised) may turn out to be the most consequential thing he ever did.

The longer we go without doing it, the more unlikely it gets

ERRR YES IT IS

IOM JERSEY GUERNSEY ALL PART OF THE UK YOU INBRED FAGGOT

Nope.

The UK = the 4 Home Nations and nothing else.

The other territories are British but not in the UK

That's because it's uncertain investments in their side too. U.K. Wants to keep EU shares involved as long as possible so it will fuck EU up too in investment

Britain doesn't get anything pragmatic from EU and now it's 350 mil a well contributions will have to be shared between Holland (euro skeptic) France (about to vote in a nationalist party) and Germany (literally the reason why France uk and Holland are more nationalistic)

>>Northern Ireland's not even part of Great Britain

Technically it's not, because Great Britain is the big island next to the island of Ireland.

WHITES UNITE

THIS GUY SEES THE LIGHT

I feel the same about politics sometimes. Labour and Tory "rivalry" is just white people fighting each other whilst Pakis get busy raping young blonde girls.

so they're independent and self-governing? They aren't sovereign, therefore they are UK.

they aren't BOT like falklands or caymans

the full name of our country is the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' which is often just shortened to 'Great Britain' or just 'Britain', everyone will a modicum of intelligence or reasoning power knows this, so yes technically and leagally and factually it is part of Britain

Pakis and race traitor liberal virtue signalling uni students are labour voters vs white people

>so they're independent and self-governing? They aren't sovereign, therefore they are UK.


You seem confused. They're partly self-governing. They self-govern on everything except defence and foreign affairs. So they're not independent and not sovereign.

But how those that make them part of the UK?

You think anything the British government/Crown has power over automatically is part of the UK?

Well you're fucking stupid then, aren't you? You're saying that India and Hong Kong were in the United Kingdom. They weren't. They governed by a British government but outside the UK.

They are stalling a lot to either:
Get a better trade deal BEFORE leaving
Or just have everyone forget about it

Look, someone kindly posted a picture to make it really obvious And you're still being stupid about it

>stickball
>relevant
Only poochuckers care about Cricket bro.

no m8 they're crown dependencies, there's a massive difference, they do what the fuck they want and we just look after their defence and foreign policy
