wankstain 

Falls into the same category as arsewipe to be honest. Mild term of abuse for a sibling. See arsewipe.

Northern Ireland 

Known as a country which is part of the UK, but called "The Province" (also called a few other things!).

Thatcher fought desperately to fend off the prospect of joint-sovreignty in the 80s over it with the Republic in the south.

Just an annoying space of place which if put up to referendum, Britain would probably give over to the Republic! Nothing to offer by way of wealth or culture - it just exists.

Plus I'm just rambling to vent out frustations over nothing in particular and taking it out on N Ireland (!)

the REAL definition of gunga is a phrase used by people in London and the SE as a nickname of a person of descent from the Indian sub-continent.

Derived originally from the film Gunga Din, where an Indian character holds the moral high ground over the British soldiers.

Mostly used without any racist undertones, but of course is up for abuse.
"oh fuckin great, the stupid gunga has short-changed me again!"

European Union 

1. Became known by its current style in 1993, when Maastricht was signed and the keys to the UK and frankly everywhere else in Europe were handed over to new management in Brussels.

What started out as an innocent economic adventure, through the 1980s, slowly turned into a nightmare political descent as it became apparent that - lets be crude and frank - France and Germany did want a union in which they couldn't and didn't have DIRECT control over.

2. More recently things have become more serious and sinister with firstly the Treaty of Nice and now the blueprint for a country called Europe with its own constitution.

Frankly the United Kingdom, should go a step further and vote on membership not a pathetic federalist vision of a constitution for a whole continent of countless races, languages and cultures that simply don't and won't ever fully integrate.

Home rule for Britain - God Save our Head of State, the Queen!
"a scary vision of the future : Malta, Finland, Lithuania, Ireland, Belgium and Cyprus all with the same currency, Parliament and law to uphold - oh shit, thats NOW!"

John Major 

He talked about everything and nothing really. He arrived with a new wave of optimism and disappeared without a bat of an eyelid (mainly due to the UK's adoration New Labour as they swept into Downing Street).

Alright kind of bloke in truth, could've fulfilled any other job in Government at the time to a high standard except that of Prime Minister!
Things of note during his lengthy, but seemingly brief 6 and a half years as PM:

Signed Maastricht, and...
lost election to Labour in landslide.

Thats about it really!

millwall fan

Being one myself, I must agree fully with other definitions that we are a rare breed these days thanks mostly to in-migration of non-whites causing a massive exodus of whites who once lived all over Bermondsey, New Cross and as far afield as Lewisham in great numbers.

Long dead are the days of 20,000 fans travelling to and taking over the Valley - more likely to find a dwindling 1500 sitting on buses up to Watford.

Where is this Millwall fan? South Wales, after evacuating London ahead of the masses of...others.
