    If it is unpopular, then it must be the right thing to do.

    His mother was actually Irish and born in County Wexford not in Britain although both her parents were Scots as far as I'm aware. She was part of the Jameson Irish Whiskey family.

    I'd say even overall. In some photos he looks more North Italian and others more British.

    The mother was 100% British, didn't have a drop of Irish or Italian blood.

    She was born in Ireland, but was Scottish and English.

    It makes no sense to bring birthplace into a discussion about where someone could pass.

    John McCain wasn't Panamanian, George Romney wasn't Mexican, and Marconi's mother wasn't Irish.

    Apparently Marconi spoke English fluently with a British accent.

    North Italian, but he would fit better in Britain than in south Italy.
