@@Demun1649 You just don't get it do you?
The British have always had the ability to laugh at themselves.....
And then along came another group that failed to grasp that simple premise and cried "Foul" & even worse...."Racism".... Totally missing the point that the British have done this for centuries.... Came here, but totally, and utterly FAILED to integrate.
Interesting that you call Britain a "poxed island".... Fair description these days, but....
Ever paused to consider how it got that that way?
@@patagualianmostly7437 Answer your own last question, might do some good.
FIRST, When you use the term "British" how far back in history are you going?
SECOND, Do you think that the two Polish men, killed on their own doorsteps by Anglo-Saxon mongrels, think it was just a joke and a laugh.
THIRD, This country was ruined way back in the period between 400-600 when the Angles, Saxe and Jutes invaded us from Germany.
FOURTH, I have experienced RACISM from the bloody English since I was six years old. White, born and educated in England, but still a foreigner to the racist ENGLISH MONGRELS, and abused my whole life.
FIFTH, Call out YOUR own side, and ask THEM your last question.
@@flannelsykes0 oh no a critique. Better retort with a character attack. :^)
Besides it's perfectly valid to attach yourself to a work of art that you have nothing to do with, besides vague origin, to leech off it's prestige. :^)
“Like most sequels, War 2 was proving less fun, than War 1.”
my dream woman, never afraid to call a dead king a potato
Britons are World Re known for having "A Stiff Upper Lip". What is truly astounding is: the highly educated scholars
and historians in this series never even flinch, scratch their heads or roll their eyes at the questions.
"Frankie goes to Hollywood singing about spunk." Good lord I wasnt ready for that 😳😭
I love how they always use the show brush strokes in every episiode.
Defined as: Running-gag.
“Today, racist bigotry has no place in contemporary Britain... except Kent.”
Boy, don’t I know it.
"Churchill's speeches were stirring and powerfully erotic.
He was one of the greatest orators of all time.
And some of the phrases he used still resonate today;
such as 'finest hour',
'never surrender' and of course
We shall fight them bitches."
Fucking nearly dying here, lmao, watered down my beer too!
"Or NHS for less long" made me laugh, it's brilliant when you think about it.
Smartest and most sublime funny showbizz woman i ever saw, this Philomena character voice, and manners is out of this world brilliant
