    It ain’t Trump arresting people for supporting Palestine Action. You’re protesting foreign fascists, but the call is coming from inside the house.

    Seriously the unmarked federal police force killed a guy and left some kids to rot in a van in the middle of a road near me this week. Other countries should put the us in the same bucket as north korea and russia till it gets back to following its traditional laws.

      We need to decide this with a “Great British Brit Off”. I’m sure Channel 4 will commission it.

      The decider will be who makes the best curry. The winner gets to claim real Britishness.

          My time has come! Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuule Britanniaaaaaaaaaa! Britannia rules the waaaaaaaves, Britons never, never, never, will be slaaaaaaaaaves!

          Unless, of course, it’s to US tech-bro billionaires, Russian oligarchs, Eton hedge-fund fuckbois, Australian media deathlords, or a range of other vastly wealthy skidmarks.

        You miss their point. The original inhabitants of the British isles are long forgotten and have largely been replaced by invaders, colonists, and immigrants (some listed in OP’s comment) for millennia.

        There are no ‘real Brits’. Britain is a multilingual melting pot of different peoples and cultures, and it always has been for as far back as we’ve been able to look in history, the first major immigrations from mainland Europe happening around 4000bc or so.

          Maybe you miss their point, perhaps because they didn’t use a /s or something.

          In the mind of the racist dingleberries there are white immigrants (including but not limited to Celts, Romans, Normans, Saxons, Vikings) who are ‘real Britons’ and then there are brown immigrants who are clearly not ‘real Britons’, on account of how they don’t look like us but do like spicy food.

          I don’t think it’s the same as the USA where people literally crossed over continents to invade

            I’m a bit confused, I’m not sure if you mean the US or the UK, because both countries have done that, and both lands have been populated with that same method as well.
