what the fuck is english english

Pierce Brosnan is Irish so he clearly isn’t “English English”.

Timothy Dalton is Welsh so he clearly isn’t “English English”.

George Lazenby is Australian so he clearly isn’t “English English”.

There have been more non-English Bond stars than English ones so Roger Moore can shove his racist views up his racist arse.  He was a shit Bond anyway.
