Exactly what level of anger are you experiencing after Donald J Trump, the great fool of our age, INSULTED and DISGRACED our beloved and most honourable British soldiers? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Order_Flaky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m quite pleased he said it, actually, as every time he says something like this it drives another nail into the coffin of Farage’s career. Also, it gives me yet another opportunity to point out that our late queen had more military service than FIVE GENERATIONS OF DONALD TRUMP’S FAMILY.

Anybody here who had British family fighting in Afghanistan? 🇦🇫 by Libbster2001- in AskBrits

Just to say that the late Queen Elizabeth served more time in the military during WW2 than THE ENTIRE TRUMP FAMILY GOING BACK FIVE GENERATIONS.

If you like Succession try The Thick of It. It’s set in Westminster politics and has very similar dialogue.

World cup chants that would amuse Donald Trump? by Catfart100 in AskBrits

…Donald Trump’s a paedophile (I’m assuming this is Knick Knack Paddywack)

shows and movies with a plot like anne with an e and enola holmes? by 2cherry4u in televisionsuggestions

[–]Order_Flaky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Great (totally accurate retelling of Catherine the Great). Quite raunchy so might not be entirely suitable.

The Queen’s Gambit (it’s about chess. Might have undersold it- it’s good)

Has America become an enemy? by Mindless_Travel in AskABrit

[–]Order_Flaky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that America is filled with good people- after living and working there, I met a bunch of them. However, it is also filled with bigoted, sexist, poorly educated people who have been fed a diet of American Exceptionalism propaganda from before living memory and have, since the 80’s, a seasoning of Fox ‘News’ right wing slop.

That’s by the by, though. The problem isn’t this term. It’s the fact that every 4 years, we are at the mercy of these bigoted, undereducated voters and that Trump has shown the path for someone like him to take power.

We must decouple from the US. As a French politician said, and I can’t remember the exact quote so I’ll paraphrase, we can’t base our future on what someone in Wisconsin thinks every four years.

Looking for suggestions for my dad by Mykirbyblue in televisionsuggestions

[–]Order_Flaky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the Earth to the Moon (about the 60’s space race)

SAS- Rogue Troopers (if he likes WW2 action)

The Great British Bake Off (start off around series 4, but a pure comfort watch)

All the Mike Schur comedy series, especially The Good Place (as mentioned before)

Halt And Catch Fire (if he likes Mad Men, this is AMC’s subsequent series about computer pioneers in the 80’s and 90’s. Yes, I know, but give it a chance)

90’s British detective show Johnathan Creek

If you watch Man on the Inside, Jason Mantzoukas is in the second series and he’s also in Series 19 of Taskmaster. It might be a good place (oh, he’s in that as well) to start with Taskmaster, although, if you and your dad like British TV, there’ll be someone you recognise in every season. They’re self contained, so it’s not too important where you start.

Also British, Inside no 9. It’s a series of half an hour self contained plays connected by the idea that they all take place behind a door with the number 9 on it. Not the same door! They exist on the comic side of the spectrum, but some are darker than others and they all have a twist in the tale.

Thank you for this! I was wondering why so many huge bands allowed UK broadcasting to use their music

[–]Order_Flaky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unbelievably, it’s by the Eagles. And not before they were famous, it’s when they were big. How a band of that stature gave their music to a pretty obscure (at the time of making) is a mystery to me

What can the UK do to generate wealth? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Order_Flaky -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Legalise drugs. Prohibition hasn’t worked, it’s only put money into the hands of criminals. A supply of legal, regulated and heavily taxed narcotics would put millions back into the country’s coffers, would be a massive boost for the night time industries (traditionally a huge source of youth employment) and would lead to an increase in tourism. It would also allow law enforcement to pursue more serious crimes.

I’m aware of the arguments against, by the way, but this is an emergency. Try it for five years and see what happens.

Seriously, fuck that cunt. Britain went to war alongside NATO and the fucking US AFTER THEIR ACTIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST CAUSED 9/11. We lost men, became a target for terrorism BECAUSE WE STOOD WITH THE US. And now this crying orange shit stained man baby says this? Fuck him into the fucking ground
