British Government and People are sounding like their American counterparts.
The shit doesn't fall far from the ass
i fucking hate the "apple doesn't fall far from the tree" because fuits are meant to be eaten and spread far from the tree.
your version actually solves that problem and is in any sense, a better metaphor.
I'm keeping it and not giving it back
Mr. Lahey?
Shitbirds of a feather, Randers.
Here in Croatia, people complain about HDZ and complain about foreign workers from India, Nepal and South east Asia but same people are voting for HDZ (or DP, but they are essentially same party) since 1991. Also that same HDZ had some scandals with corruption, you know nothing to worry about. Like they complain about them, but they keep voting for them or they keep voting for people who will enter coalition with HDZ making it the same shit either way. For that matter, I never voted for HDZ or anyone similar to them. Only time when people are united are during some big sports events like world cup in football or similar stuff.
Frustrating. In the states, White conservatives (and white people in general) are the special base that American elected officials seem to only listen to and have considerable power. Safe and secure, not really needing to worry about things (but they do anyway oh and tell you what to do).
As long as that group get’s theirs they will keep voting in these politicians who really do not care about all people only money.
As is the tradition. I don't live there anymore, but whenever I visit every problem is always the migrants' fault. It's totally not the government's.
True true, and only time when people are united is during some sports events or something.
You guys have one of the only teams I'll put a "soccer" game on to watch. Not sure why, watched them about 10 years ago and now always stop to watch if they are on.
So uneducated conservative fuck sticks are a worldwide problem...
The British are the Americans of Europe.
The British came to the new world and never left, they just decided to change their name over here. It's The British on both sides, just different flavors.
And of course all the assholes that followed the British.
It’s true that we were the chavs of the Early Modern era and the other powers absolutely resent that we exceeded them during the Imperial phase.
Kinda nuts how institutions just keep going long after they've reached the point of historical irrelevancy. As much as I enjoy watching the decline of US empire, it's kinda bleak to consider the momentum is behind keeping this stupid configuration of states and constitution, dragging this deadweight on into the next century in much the same way you Brits still have fuckin' aristos.
It's deadass 7x more restrictive in England so far, they just fly under the radar.
And the liberals or Center Left are in charge now? bonkers...
I learned it watching you, Dad!
That's not a coincidence.
Yeah, no... We can and do protest. The next massive nation-wide one is in two and a half weeks.
