Social media is not real-life example #132456.

Happy St George's Day. Modern England is a diverse tapestry of people, culture and beliefs. We love tea, curry, complaining, queueing and many of us enjoy a good pint, though not all. What we all agree on, is we love our England teams, both the the 3 Lions and the Lionesses.

But it's the UK that has a problem with free speech right JD Vance, you couch fiend.
Rather than being a prowler in DFS - proud of that joke - maybe have a word with the Clown as we all know 'illegal' is code for 'muh feelings'.

Look at this. The sheer level of entitlement from the EU towards what they expect from access to the UK is absolutely staggering. Its like the Daily Mail calling Brits in Dubai 'expats' as opposed to what they are: immigrants.

The EU wibble accounts on here have convinced themselves the UK is suddenly going to break ranks with Europe and side with the USA against Ukraine.
That would be political suicide for any UK government. Again, these idiots don't actually understand the UK despite their weird post-Brexit obsession

Oh look, the phrase you hear from young right-wing politicos across the EU that means 'white people only' and is one of the reasons why, despite the economic impact, I think Brexit was culturally correct for a post-European country like the UK.
Literally, nothing turns me against the EU like it.
