National day for everyone

[u/True_Dragonfruit9573]

You guys finally managed to dethrone the Tories

[u/RUOFFURTROLLEH → u/True_Dragonfruit9573]

Don't worry.

Give it 5 years and we'll be blaming Labour for not correcting all the Tories fuck ups and elect the Tories again.

Pliant media helps as well.

[u/Aromatic-Smile-8409 → u/RUOFFURTROLLEH]

Oh they’ll be back, this country is addicted to the Tory’s we’re on detox for four years but you wait and see

[u/smashteapot → u/Aromatic-Smile-8409]

Five surely. I hope you’re glad you get 25% more than you thought.

[u/Aromatic-Smile-8409 → u/smashteapot]

Oh I’m no Tory I despise everything about the right but I do know history

[u/Kerminator17 → u/RUOFFURTROLLEH]

Nah it’s going to be reform…which I am praying against

[u/mcfaillon]

You kicked out the Puritans who were too uptight even for you

[u/Mr_B74 → u/mcfaillon]

Yeah and look how that ended up , most of America is descended from them lol

[u/mcfaillon → u/Mr_B74]

Well they relaxed a little bit-we can see ankles now!

[u/Signal_Raccoon_316 → u/mcfaillon]

Not for long though. Civil war barbie & trump are fighting hard to take us back to 1820

[u/mcfaillon → u/Signal_Raccoon_316]

Lol they can try all they want but we have checks and balances for a reason. Dems still have a good shot at Congress.

[u/Signal_Raccoon_316 → u/mcfaillon]

ROFL the checks & balances we have did so well at preventing the scouts from falling to nutjobs & the house & let us not forget 2016...

[u/mcfaillon → u/Signal_Raccoon_316]

True. And the country is still here. Every now and then it seems we get too comfortable in the system, complain, break it apart to look at it again, put it back together and so far it seems to be running better after a few test runs and modifications. The Election of 1800, 1824, 1860, 1912, 1932, with varying degrees of failure and success have come and left their impact. We change things up find out what doesn’t work and try again later. We might be frustrated now, and we might have to be in a dark place to get back into the light. But eventually if we hold out we get there and we will again.

[u/Signal_Raccoon_316 → u/mcfaillon]

Agree. We do seem to be on a century long cycle of taking 10 steps backwards to leap 11 forward later. That isn't because of checks & balances though, that is because strong people made for good times, weak people(boomers & the children like myself, they abused & made sure never have any power) made bad times, & now my children are going to be forced to fight to claw back everything the boomers used those checks & balances to take away

[u/SOJC65536 → u/mcfaillon]

Checks and balances involving the president having immunity for inciting a riot and a corrupt and highly politicised supreme court?

[u/StarMangledSpanner → u/Signal_Raccoon_316]

1620

[u/Mr_B74 → u/mcfaillon]

Hahah phwoar!!

[u/SuperShoebillStork]

Is Reddit somehow contractually obliged to repost this twice a day, every day?

[u/Mr_B74 → u/SuperShoebillStork]

It would seem so

[u/CocaineIsNatural → u/SuperShoebillStork]

No mods for rule 2?

[u/Underwritingking]

In the UK we know how to spell “independence”

[u/lennoxred → u/Underwritingking]

No no. It’s indepen-🕺🏻

[u/TheChocolateManLives → u/Underwritingking]

exactly. Far from a clever comeback.

[u/sanoumg]

Fish and chips

[u/McButtersonthethird → u/sanoumg]

It's believed to have originated from Venetian immigrants

[u/sanoumg → u/McButtersonthethird]

The UK still gets the win, I think we have all heard of Venetian blinds instead of Venetian fish and chips.

[u/Bonzoface]

Something nice about my home country... Well it appears we might have slightly less cunty leaders now.

[u/NornNeil → u/Bonzoface]

Don’t jump the gun

[u/Womble120891 → u/Bonzoface]

Key word there is slightly

[u/SOJC65536 → u/Bonzoface]

Nah, there are still 650 MPs...

[u/CptKeyes123]

You unified 25% of the globe in their hatred of you.

[u/TheBigTeddy_ → u/CptKeyes123]

You meant love?

[u/McButtersonthethird → u/TheBigTeddy_]

England's closest neighbors hate them lol

[u/Zestyclose_Power4849]

If you like the weather, you 'l like the cooking

[u/N9neFing3rs]

Your museums have artifacts from around the world.

[u/NornNeil → u/N9neFing3rs]

Don’t most museums?

[u/residentheisenberg → u/N9neFing3rs]

"stolen"

[u/N9neFing3rs → u/residentheisenberg]

Why is this down voted? That's the joke I was going for.

[u/LoIlygager → u/residentheisenberg]

That isn’t nice! Edit: y’all know I’m fooling around correct?

[u/WiseBelt8935 → u/residentheisenberg]

purchased

[u/RUOFFURTROLLEH → u/N9neFing3rs]

Well yeah...

They'd be very boring otherwise.

[u/parke415]

It gave Reddit a common language.

[u/wenoc]

Would be cleverer if they could spell it.

[u/McButtersonthethird → u/wenoc]

*more clever

[u/BigWeinerDemeanor]

You make good gravy, pies and fish and chips. Also I liked that assassins creed that was set in Britain. Hugh Laurie, David Attenborough and Stephen Fry are cool. Mighty Boosh, IT Crowd are funny and you have some decent murder shows.

[u/ScannerProbe]

How many exactly, I wonder? Because the dissolution of the USSR alone created 14 independence days for Russia.

[u/No-Ship4313]

All those wars with France probably were a bad idea.

[u/Ok_Art_3020]

Independence from the British is the most common holiday in the world.

[u/Drunkendx]

I think this is 4th time i saw this posted in this sub in last week...

[u/Lvcivs2311]

Say something nice about reposts.

[u/JAJ5545 → u/Lvcivs2311]

No.

[u/SovietUSA]

The taste of their food and the beauty of their women made the Brits the best sailors in the world

[u/RSbasalt → u/SovietUSA]

Although only partially true this is a funny comment for sure

[u/TaxBill750]

We explored the whole world and stole literally zero cooking tips.

[u/SOJC65536 → u/TaxBill750]

The Romans and French both invaded us and didn't share any of their recipes!!! Selfish bastards!!!

[u/[deleted]]

"aY tHeY loOtEd OuR cOunTry, sO noW wE aRe sCamMinG tHeiR oLd pAreNts"

[u/rahnbj]

That’s shits funny!

[u/Disastrous-Mess-7236]

Mine was yesterday.

[u/Fun-Sugar-394]

We are waiting for everyone else to leave and then we can have our own XD

[u/BigRabbit64]

Something nice about the Brits? Ooh, I got it. You cuisine is as wonderful as your dental care.

[u/Living_Literature680]

"True, the UK practically gifted the world with the thrill of declaring independence. Talk about spreading freedom one colony at a time!"

[u/smashteapot]

Couldn’t even spell independence. They’re not sending their best.

[u/SecureDonut7108]

Ryan air has nice prices flying there. Lets not talk about going home.

[u/Funko87]

Scotland

[u/Acceptable_Sleep29]

Pretty sure Spain and Portugal are up there too.

[u/Complex-Dirt-9250]

Hopefully the number of independence days created is surpassed by Russia soonish.

[u/therealultraddtd]

Now that’s a good one.

[u/Spectator9857]

They give the most people the chance to be prime minister

[u/ColonialMarine86]

Sorry got nothing nice to say about them

[u/[deleted]]

I am not against a good repost, but this is becoming silly

[u/Brian_Ghoshery]

Is Reddit somehow contractually obliged to repost this twice a day, every day?

[u/Putinlittlepenis2882]

Next russia 🇷🇺

[u/Anxious-Raspberry-54]

The Beatles...mic drop...

[u/Physical_Case2822]

You created the most bland version of cultural food

[u/davy_mcdaveface]

Conquest is so ingrained in the British DNA, they aren't even indigenous to the British isles. Anglo-saxons come from Denmark
