      Feck you too, I guess. If that’s how you want to behave.

      I could understand you being unhappy with our government, but just blanket swearing at all 68 million of us is a dick move.

        Are you the UK? No, you’re someone who lives there. The UK is a state.

          Let’s not even get into the legitimacy of a state calling itself “The UK of GB and NI” when they’d have a tough time proving NI is entirely onboard

            That’s just every country, isn’t it? Seems like most of Spain has separatist movements; Provence and Brittany and Burgundy retain their sub-national identities; probably some in Tobago want to split from Trinidad. If Northern Ireland joined Eire no doubt the Loyalists would start clamouring to reverse that.

              It should be renamed to, London plus all surrounding bits of land that we don’t care about. It’s a bit of a mouthful but it would be a more accurate name

        *brevity is the soul of wit"

        ~Shakespeare

        “Um actually, wit is actually a subjective phenomenon, with everyone having a different idea of what it actually means. How could such a construct actually possess a ‘soul’? And that’s not even getting started on the assertion that souls actually exist in any real way”.
