…and there were 2 Queens in England. Another one’s gone, and another one bit the dust.

OK theres has been far more than 2 queens, even if you only count queens who were the primiary rulers.
And i dont know this for a fack but it feels true, i think the UK has more drag Queens than the USA per capita 💅

There’s many many queens in the USA.
(Not a dig, just a statement).

Okay if you’re going to count things from the past then you still count past queens.

Bold of them to use a Canada Eagle in that pic, after wiping out almost all of their own.

Okay, if you count all super bowls, then count every instance of fourth of July occurring.
Also, the USA has had many queens: Queen Latifah, Aretha Franklin, Madonna, Beyoncé, Dolly Parton, Mary J Blige, Mariah Carey, Oprah Winfrey, RuPaul, Carol Burnett, Harriet Tubman, Dolley Madison, Clara Barton, Mary Baker Eddy, Florence Wald, Madam C.J. Walker, Sacagawea, Sybil Ludington, Estée Lauder, Elizabeth Ardon, Margaret Rudkin, Ruth Wakefield, Martha Stewart.
There’s so many fucking Queens of everything in US history.

Elizabeth Arden is Canadian. Sacagawea was very much not from the USA, and Dolley Madison and Sybil Ludington were at least born British colonial subjects since the USA hadn’t shown up yet.
Anyway Mary Baker Eddy was an odd choice.

There’s a 4th of July in England every year.

When?

I’m neither a Brit nor a calendologist but I think it’s somewhere at the end of June or a few days later, not sure. Hope that helps

Every day, some country in the world celebrates the day the Brits left, and I think that’s just beautiful

It’s actually 4/7/XX there and not 7/4/XX so they can circumvent July 4th
Aeao@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
They can have a 4th of July but never a July 4th

I’m not sure if this is art from Bioshock, or slop. The bayonet is a nice touch and makes me think a human did this, but I can’t tell anymore.

Scotland chooses to stoically sit this one out.

Methinks No True Scotsman would miss the opportunity to dunk on the English

Nah they’re pretty good at doing that all by themselves these days.
And the ‘true Scotsman’ law only covers the wearing of boxers under a kilt.
