Pasco posted:Nothing political here, that's just an objectively Correct map. Cleveland isn't on it so it's bad because I live in it. Other acceptable solutions would be making everything county cumberland because I like the flag. The current counties are stupid too because they got rid of cleveland a while ago so as far as I can tell north of the river is durham and south of the river is yorkshire, but I'm fairly sure both counties would like to disclaim us.

I was young at the time but there are several towns build directly over the tees and while the different sides of the river might have Views about each other they're definitely the same town because they're all big industry towns that were built up specifically because of the river and the railway. I don't think the animosity is any greater than between postcode numbers. That the towns are all fairly new by british standards is likely why the historic counties don't line up, because there was gently caress all here until they set up the industry.

If you go back far enough the north sea is called the german sea so I am curious when it became our responsibility. I really wish I could actually photograph my map of the heptarchy but it's engraved on brass. E: this is the least glare I could get on it and the highest resolution my phone will go:  It is also further ammunition in my war against the historic counties people because it clearly says KINGDOME OF CLEVE-LAND Also finally settling the london/derry argument because it's called "Der rie" which also is clearly German. E: Also lmao that the north sea is the germayn sea but the channel is apparently "the british ocean" OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 17:51 on May 30, 2023 |

To my understanding the Falklands very much do not want to be a part of Argentina, I think it's like 95%+ in favour of being a UK territory.

Peggotty posted:Yes, the white english settlers living on the Falklands are in favour of the Falklands belonging to the UK. Probably 100% of them. The islands weren't inhabited until the europeans showed up as far as I'm aware, and settlements were fairly sporadic until 19th century dick wagging became relevant. So the only competing arguments you can make are either what the people living there want, and pretty borders. There's no native population of the islands to make a claim unless you count the penguins. In which case covering the entire thing in landmines would be an option.

Peggotty posted:So if I go to England and start sitting on an uninhabited mountain, it belongs to me? It can't possibly belong to any European country, given that they don't have people living on it. I mean, personally, yes I think you should be able to live wherever you like. Though most of the mountains are national parks so people might object if you start digging it up to put a house on it. You find a bit that's just some lord's back garden or something yeah you're welcome to it.

99% of everywhere that has had a union jack hoisted on it probably has people with a more legitimate claim and a mountain of bodies to hold the pole up. The falklands are specifically fun because they're like the one bit of land on earth that everybody would assume shouldn't be part of the UK but you really struggle if you try to come up with a good argument as to why beyond making the colours on the map tidier. There's better arguments for cornwall not being part of the UK than the falklands.

The Argentine claim rests on the idea that the Spanish colonised the islands first and therefore it's theirs... Legitimately unless you want to carpet bomb it there is no anti-colonialist claim because there are no native inhabitants.

If you want to annoy that section of the population you could just, like, do four times as many eurovisions. Possibly with a big satellite dish beaming them at the UK and overriding the premier league.

It would be improved by the addition of "the area which elects the london assembly and mayor" Re: upthread, I feel like the bourgeois overtaking the aristocracy is a lot of what marx was writing about. Old money has a lot of power in the UK but it's not strictly tied to its money, or at least not linearly. It still provides us a shitload of government, media, and business figures.

Expelling the british plumbers to where, one wonders. Presumably poland to replace the deficit. Which makes the whole thing seem like a kind of large prank. Perhaps that's how they fund london, viral demography prank videos.
