If there's one thing to attack Brits for, not being able to handle spicy food isn't it

curry is our national dish

The only reason Britain is still even halfway notable is because they speak English

Who the gently caress could possibly buy that and have any remaining self-respect?

Or does that answer the question of why the British are so self-loathing? At this point we have to anthrax their water supply - it's the only humane way to finally end a pathetic two century decline - like smothering your grandfather after the dementia has taken hold.

Two centuries? The best was still ahead of us in 1816, dude.

Children's history textbooks in the UK are not fundamentally different in kind from what they have in North Korea.

An entire nation held hostage by a monarchy in the year 2016 and the population has been brainwashed into believing this is normal, OK, and not the laughing stock of the rest of the world.

I enjoyed my GCSE History textbook, it covered American history between the world wars and was v interesting and informative

Something depressing to consider is that even if Scotland succeeds in succession they are still going to have to share the same island with the English. They'll have to rebuild Hadrien's wall but this time to keep the southerners out.

The NHS means that getting drunk as gently caress, fighting and possibly having to go to the hospital is not a serious thing compared to fail nations that don't have socialised medicine. A pint and a fight, a great British night.

Pshhh... This just makes you soft. In America you just suck it up because a hospital visit for a band-aid costs $2500. Nothing like piecing your evening together through the gradual revelation of your bruises and injuries as you stagger blearily through the morning.

Like the UK must have those really pathetic film subsidies that governments put out

Nova Scotia is cutting back on theirs and the "Film" Industry got really huffy about it, claiming that the economic benefits are hard to calculate but the new government said "Nah it's pretty simple we're bleeding money for poo poo no one likes!"

This is worth the effort of a VPN if needed.
Some terrible fraudsters tried to scam the film tax credit fund thing, and made such a fuckin balls-up. Staggeringly inept.
Fascinating story though, and Storyville in general is great

Best thing about Britain is over the past couple of years suddenly there's thousands of loving incredible Nigerian Immigrant women everywhere.

This is causing problems because go far enough north and you'll quickly find places where nobody has ever seen a person they aren't directly related to.

Problems, or maybe the only opportunity left for diversifying your inbred genetic stock?
