Given the number of places the UK has invaded I can't complain about any foreign thread invasions of the UKMT.

The reason you can't tell is that you're not authentically proley enough. If your dad was a coal miner but you now lived in a draughty stone cottage in the countryside and poached pheasants, maybe then you'd understand. If only there was a poster who fit this description who could come in and school us about who is a real prole and who is a bourgy poser, we could finally put this mess to bed.

Plenty of people from all classes used to buy the Daily Sport for the sports results once upon a time, pre-Internet. Presumably this would not have extended to the landed gentry, as they can get all their sports results in large books of etchings. I have no idea who buys the Sunday Sport.

The most egregious parts only started after Britain itself was invaded.  e: How many people were using the internet as a reliable source of sports pictures in the late 80s/early 90s?

It's one of the things that bugs me most about the 'IMMIGRANTS GO HOME' bullshit. Unless you can trace and unbroken, unpolluted line of descent back to the Celtic peoples, YOU are a loving immigrant's descendant too. Hell, even the Celts walked here across a land bridge.

Everyone knows the only proper form of immigration is to violently displace the people who live where you want to immigrate to. This might explain a little bit of the  over most immigration honestly.

Last winter I was in my office at the castle and a bunch of nerds from one of the shooting paties just wandered into the quadrangle and started blasting at pigeons on every roof - despite being surrounded on three sides by occupied rooms and offices. I think I might've posted a photo I took. Hang the rich imo.

thespaceinvader posted:I was gonna say, it's not like British history isn't full of being invaded and settled by foreigners. As a historical thing, it's worth noting that the "celts" didn't really exist. There were a zillion hetereogeneous small groups (who looked notably different) hanging out in the UK when the Romans arrived and started actually documenting things. They even commented that they all looked different! The Celts are a Georgian/Victorian construction. The UK was populated gradually by multiple different groups, and when the Storegga Slide happened and hosed Doggerland completely we got an interesting mix of bros from that ending up in the UK too. This is complicated by the European population itself undergoing significant changes (there were multiple distinct waves of hunter gatherers and farmers who made their way into Europe over 10000BC-3000BC! Plus Europeans also have some neanderthal mixed in with them... juicy.
