Men like him or men who have never been to Britain, much less the small towns they are claiming to be talking about, talking to people who have never left their county let alone their country.

Every time I see a clip from Peppa Pig it feels like it was written by a 1950s man who has never met a young child and greatly underestimates the intelligence of an average child.
Every episode I have seen of Bluey has been a masterpiece who knows what modern children and parents are like.

Yeah, and? Is that meant to be a flex? It also doesn’t negate my point. The real flex would be “what do you do if he *didn’t*. Saying “oh we’re lucky this guy was so incorruptible” doesn’t mean shit. Just to make my point clearer *the UK removed George III after he went mad and put his son in charge as a regent*.
The President of the United States has more power than every British King after the year 1640, and I’m going to be frank, you don’t have an effective mechanism to remove a president from power if they go rogue, partly because your constitution was drawn up with one man in mind, and he walked away from power. This question is more relevant and pressing than ever.
Impeachment? OK, what if the President ignores Congress and the courts? As commander in chief he has the armed forces, and can we be sure enough people defect to the side of congress. Wait, this sounds very familiar.
Can the UK remove a King (without bloodshed or war)? Yes! And they have, in fact George III was removed from power after he went insane (yes, you heard, surprised you don’t talk about that more). Can we remove a Prime Minister in the same way? Yes! Parliament can force a Prime Minister to resign and it’s binding, they can literally get armed police in to drag them out kicking and screaming if needs be.

Ever noticed that whenever anyone is critical of anything in America, no matter how small or how fixable, The reaction of American conservatives seem to be to send people to countries that are either horrific Dictatorships or have been fucked up by America?

Fun fact about Somaliland: despite it not being recognized by most of the world (Israel kinda does but only because they wanted to do shit opposite Yemen) and being seen as a “breakaway state”, it’s actually richer, more stable, safer, and more developed than the Country it broke away from: Somalia.

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.
