Land of Hope & Glory? - UK Politics and other stuff

I’ll admit to being surprised that the UK has such a shoddy first past the post system.

The only good thing about the uk is our plug sockets. Everything else is dumb. Best plugs in the world though.

Also, you’re very polite!

I see your British socket, raise you this.

Common to see these in the Philippines.

No USB-C? Meh.

The USB is a bonus. It’s the accept all comers left hand side that’s revolutionary.

As someone who has appliances in Australian, Philippines, British and whatever that weird ass one with the round prongs is, these are priceless.

Standard fare from that hate rag. More importantly:

Boris Johnson on Radio 2 right now, blaming everyone and everything else except himself for his shitshow. Very Trumpian of him; what a surprise! I just turned it off.

He will move out of the royal Lodge into this giant palatial home that is not royal but the king only owns because he is the royal…

Great system we have

So Nigel Farage MIGHT be a racist…
Cor blimey, who’da thought/shocked pikachu/blah blah… Least surprising thing ever if all these other gazillion witnesses are true.
He’ll still have lots of votes though! Tells more about the voters than the one man.

I grew up in the north of England (slightly rough school) between about 1973-1979. Two kids in my year (one Indian/one Pakistani - I still remember both their names). I was quiet/nerdy and a bit friendly w them. Cool kids but one was super quiet; the other a bit more outgoing and even once called himself a Paki - which seemed super weird. Just trying to fit in I think. Almost everyone called them a Paki. Seemed weird.

PS: I know exactly the kind of person Nigel Farage might have been. If so, he can go shit on a burning stick!
