Looks a bit like this. Image
The “English Country fete” is a very specific thing. It evokes ideas of Rural Middle England from the 30s or 50s (not the 40s obviously). One of the things that English Country Fetes are known for are the Cake Competitions where people compete for the best cake, which is what GBBO tries to emulate.
I’m Scottish, so I have never experienced the English Country Fete, closest thing I have experienced is the Fair my local area holds. Usually that includes things like Local Charities, the area’s churches (and mosque one year), stalls, Activist groups (Usually Friends of the Earth, the city’s Cyclist groups, Greenpeace sometimes), Political Parties, The Zoo (it’s literally held a Kilometer away from the Zoo), The Community’s Heritage Group, Local Amateur sports teams, The Boys Brigade and the Scouts, alongside the Army (sometimes) and a collection of bouncy castles and the Local Bar doing the Beer tent.
Anyway, there’s also often a stage with people like the local battle Historical reenactment group doing demos of Jacobite war stuff or gymnasts, alongside BBQs run by local sports teams to raise money so you can get fed while you’re there.
In short, good vibes usually, but certainly a “vintage village green” vibe that is very particular to a very particular part of England.

Ah, so they mean “The Liberals”. This meme could pass for Conservative or Leftist depending on the author.

That’s still a thing? Anti Catholicism in the US?
I mean I know the US Government has beef with Catholics because of Liberation Theology so they funded Evangelical missionaries to preach that the people screwing them over were righteous and they should simply pray about it.

This sounds like a joke I’m too European to understand because my local Church of Scotland Kirk is a gothic edifice dating to the 15th century.

The Sparknotes:
- Pope made speech saying that war was bad and we should move to diplomacy and dialogue.
- Trump believed it was about him and started scream tweeting at him calling him a “weak on crime”.
- Pope said “I’m not afraid of Trump.”
- Trump posted an AI pic of him as Jesus healing someone in a hospital bed flanked by troops and an American flag and all the accoutrements.
- This was picked up by the media, Evangelicals were horrified and called it Blasphemous, showing they don’t actually see Trump as Jesus. Everyone else memed on him.
- Trump took it down, saying “he didn’t know anything about it” and “it was meant to show him as a Doctor”.
- Despite him taking it down, most of the front pages of the Newspapers today here at least.

The Transvestigators basically slap a skull diagram on a face, declare them to be trans, and believe they won the argument. The diagrams don’t even fucking fit onto the face structure!

You joke, but I’m currently studying the history of my area’s mental health system and people believed giving birth and lactating made women insane.

George Bush at least made excuses about going into a country for oil companiea. Trump straight up said “we want their oil”.
