At least we won't be a metropole much longer at the rate we're stripping the copper out of the walls.

Is it? Britain had a massive navy, a headstart on industrialisation and an elite education system that turned out dead-eyed psychopaths who went straight into imperial administration. That makes it even funnier that we now have 1.5 aircraft carriers, the only thing still produced here is child molesters, and we have an elite education system that turns out dead-eyed psychopaths who go straight into banking
The embarrassing part is that the British managed to get that lead. Imagine just how hosed-up everyone else was that Britain became the home of progress.

I remain unconvinced Britain is real because there’s no way these people managed to rule a third of the globe.

Naval dominance based partially on the fact that we were the first to make a clock that worked at sea so we could navigate longitude properly while everyone else was just guessing

He's the Tories secret weapon for the next election: he's genuinely unlikeable and the more people see of him, the more they don't like him. Once he's on TV daily, voters will be switching back to the Tories in droves.

In any UK liberation event after WW3, I'm probably going to get rid of the Windsors and install Harry and Meghan as the new royals. William is likely no different than his great uncle was.

The government has already announced it will scrap a cap on bankers' bonuses and allow insurance companies to invest in long-term assets such as housing and windfarms to boost investment and help its levelling up agenda.


lol at all of this. scrapping a cap on banker bonuses was Liz's big plan.
