    I know Anons are dumb, but are they voting for Nigel Farage dumb?

      Which is worse, Thatcher or Farage?

      source
      • cynar@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Thatcher, may she burn in hell, was far better than Farage. She at least had significant political skill, and an actual plan for the UK.

        Farage is a grifter of Trump’s mindset, but a few more braincells.

    This reminds me of how Brits were always totally obsessed with all the regulations that the unelected EU bureaucrats were supposedly inflicting on us all the time, and then you’d go to France and see kids diving off a high-board into a shallow pool contaminated with battery acid with absolutely no lifeguards to be seen, and generally no-one seems to give a shit.

      Yeah but you can’t wear boxer style trunks otherwise they will shout at you. They have weird priorities over there

    • leftzero@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Not all of France is like Paris, and the Seine is not a pool. (Plus, battery acid would probably count as a good attempt to clean it up, not as contamination.)

      source
      • eestileib@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        French people let their dogs shit absolutely everywhere and nobody cares. That was the really surprising thing for me.

        Paris is beautiful but you better keep an eye on where you’re stepping.

      TV licence is a real thing though

      source
      • shinratdr@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It’s just a way of funding the BBC that was devised before a TV was something that essentially everyone had. Since it’s delivered OTA it seemed easier to tax the device itself then it was to tax everyone unfairly.

        It should just be rolled into regular taxes now, but who is going to propose and approve a new tax in this day and age? So it’s easier not to touch it.

    Fact check: they only casually call you a cunt in Scotland

    source
    • Aux@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Cunt is a greeting, not an offence.

      source

        I wish I were greeted by cunt wherever I went

      True - in the south they call you a berk.

      • SoGrumpy@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        In Cockney rhyming slang, the second half of the rhyme is mostly left off. In this case, the second half is left off and the first half is shortened.

        Berkley Hunt = Cunt

      Not true, it just sounds more like Kant south of the border, which I think makes us sounds more philosophical.

    Tell me about it, it’s like, every time I want to get some grilled prawns there’s always someone who goes “Oi mate, where’s yer Barbie license?”

    • psud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      And in Australia doing the same it’s “Oy wait up mate, where’s your Ocker licence?” Luckily we don’t need barbeque licenses, tong licenses, etc. we got away from the UK to escape all that bureaucratic red tape

    Queen’s dodger can mean

    • someone who lives with the queen
    • someone who performs crimes on behalf of the queen
    • someone who finds those called for the draft but have not registered on behalf of the queen

    Which is it?

      Surely a fruit filled biscuit is another possibility.

        Also someone who fringes the ring quite unlike any other.

      someone who lives with the queen

    Just so everyone’s aware the police do not care if you have a TV license.

      To watch tv in UK you need a tv licence

      This was done as sort of a tax to fund public television without taxing people who don’t use it

      The person then concludes that they should have voted for the nazis because liberals bad

        I mean you do in the US as well, but it’s called “A Netflix/Hulu/Disney Plus membership”

        And it only funds one channel instead of dozens of TV, radio, web, apps, weather and news channels.

        They’re making fun of how Brexit was pushed on a platform of getting rid of overstrict EU regulations and bureaucracy (as well as a lot of overt racism) but it turned out a load of it was just homegrown British bureaucracy that had nothing to do with the EU but UKIP voters kept complaining that anything they didn’t like about Britain was the fault of the EU anyway

    What’s next, requiring a license to make toast in your own DAMN TOASTER!?

    source
    • psud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Give it time. It won’t be a licence though, it’ll be a compatible bread subscription for a discounted toaster, with government enforced felonies for using incompatible bread

      *Based on how the software and entertainment industries work
