Forget the pomp and pageantry. As people worldwide are now discovering, the UK was built on crisp sarnies, trips to B&Q and that age-old question: Corrie or EastEnders?

      I imagine that he was highlighting the fact that real men live on the Devensian British-Irish Ice Sheet, not this…turf. Now the whole thing’s packed full of hedgehogs and badgers and Morrisonses and such.

        It is an insult to the proud Doggerlanders.

      In the course of human history the creation of Britain and the concept of Britishness as it is today was a mistake. We shouldn’t have done it folks. It’s bad. This list shows a deeply sick society and culture. You’re right to be alienated, it’s deeply alienating.

          Ok. I did say “Britishness as it is today”, I never mentioned the far past.

          To be clear, not that I think the past was good in Britain either, it sucked then too, just differently.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
