@RasmusJarlov England of the North. Boy do you need to know something about Scotland.....

@HermanZeGerman @btharris93 I genuinely feel the UK has, uniquely amongst the big sporting events, not had a World Cup in part because FIFA is unique in how shamelessly corrupt it is. Thats not to say the likes of the IOC are not, amd that the UK is unwilling to play that game. But FIFA is another level

@lionel_trolling No lectures from a country that has spray on ceese, eggs that cant stay outside the fridge because they wash them in chemicals, chocolate containing the same chemical compounds as vomit, bread so sweet its legally cake in the UK & milk with more steroids than an average gym

@simongerman600 So, wait, despite being told how linguistically monocentric we are, the British are actually better than the Italians and more importantly the French? Woo...

@TheEconomist Because its not enough to stop future immigration, they need to reverse a substantial portion of the immigration that's already happened

@BertDalziel King of the Angles, The Celts and the Picts, Lord of the many Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm

@planfromspace @vascobrum1989 Its now arguably an internal administrative border, nothing more. He's no more King of England or Scotland that he is King of Tasmania or Ontario

[Anto1 @ALITER236]

@planfromspace @vascobrum1989 It is true because the nation that was England ceased to exist in 1707, and he cant be King of a place that doesnt exist.

@dazi180turtle @planfromspace @IrkedDinosaur Well, im talking about in the US or the wider English speaking world.

I can well imagine in Sweden, they woukd assume you mean the King of Sweden when you say that

[Anto1 @ALITER236]

@vascobrum1989 @kroketrendang4 Only because the domestic title wasnt Imperial and Disraeli wanted to be able to compete with the newly created German Emperor.

[Anto1 @ALITER236]

@planfromspace @IrkedDinosaur No disrespect to the Danish king, but when people say "The King' its generally well known they are talking about the one who is King of Britain and 14 other countries.

[Anto1 @ALITER236]

@planfromspace @vascobrum1989 OK well nor is King of England. But he is "The British King", and is not "The English King", so it makes absolute sense to call him that

@pensandpoison Big whoop, I read Hamlet in the original Klingon

@MutedIrish @jhallwood Lol. If only that were true. The entire Irish world view os informed by its obsession with Britain

Let's stop beating around the bush, anti semitism in the NHS is rising because the NHS recruits in bigoted third world locales

@EdOj90 @DylanALTKY What language did you type that in?

@wallaceme I read the Aeneid in Latin and it genuinely took me 3 months. This seems to be the correct balance between "im so clever" and "im a very slow reader"

@annaroseridgway @DanielJHannan MPs can say what they like, that's the whole point of parliamentary privilege. The choice not to say something is just that, a choice

@riogirl9909 @pewpewpizdec So he wrote something people might have heard about. That doesnt mean people have any idea who he is. Most people aren't so obsessed about a given TV show that they know who wrote it.
