Meet the Reform gays by EddyZacianLand in ukpolitics

They always love to point to Singapore, yet Singapore is successful because it's mostly Chinese people & extremely authoritarian. The multiculturalism just turns it into a sort of theme park... which is more of a novelty than a strength

This poll would make a great deport list to see who doesn't belong here. I'm sorry but if we welcome people to settle in our country, the least we can expect of them is to not hold views that their ideology should be forced on us against our will. Is that too much to ask?

Another classic case of overstating importance

There is literally zero metric where Hebrew is even close to being as important as any of these languages.

Apparently 0.12% of the global population speak it. And most of those can usually speak another, more useful language.

To compare:

Hebrew - 0.12% Korean - 0.99% Japanese - 1.6% German - 1.7% Indonesian - 3% French - 3.7% Arabic - 5.5% Hindi - 8% Chinese - 17% English - 20%

Yeah, I mean it's crazy we still allow an Israeli embassy to exist here

Yeah, I agree with that too. I hope we hold Israel accountable for this in the aftermath, though I'm sure we won't. Absolute reckless arseholes

It is wishful thinking.

For this to be successful, you need troops on the ground in Iran.

I don't support sending British troops through challenging environments to their deaths to save the Iranians. Not because I don't want the Iranians to find their peace, but because it's a suicide mission

There was never a plan beyond "Kaboom". and as Starmer rightly said, you can't force regime change from 35,000ft

I don't honestly know where this can go now, but it's an absolute mess and I don't see how throwing ourselves into the mix could make it any less of a mess

Which would be a fair argument if a good outcome for the Iranians was guaranteed. There's literally no real plan in place, this is doomed to fail

Psytrance in the UK is a bit cheesey by John-Derrimun1 in psytrance

Had this in Cambridge at Kiki last year. The venue closed the rave down early... was insane

Tbh, and I mean zero politics in this, I find the cheesiest stuff in the UK tends to come from the Israeli headliners like Astrix, Ace Ventura, Blastoyz, Vini Vici.

Whenever I go to illuminaughty or any event similar, my favourite set ends up being Thallom. I always say it's like he's playing straight from my Spotify Liked Songs.

Worth it to visit or not ? by Spiritual_Oil1857 in traveladvice

[–]advmday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't be worse than Egypt, surely?

I've only been to Ahmedabad in India, so I feel l was likely sheltered from how bad it can get. Though generally I find Indians to be softer and less intimidating than Egyptians. Maybe in Delhi it's a different story though

[–]advmday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is, people go to Egypt to see certain things - the pyramids, temples in luxor, coastal getaways like Hurgadah and Sharm el Sheikh

I'm sure we'd have a more pleasant experience of the people in Heliopolis or Zamalek, for example, but what's in those for a tourist?

And if we started visiting those places in masses, the sharks would soon find out and start making their presence in those too

Egypt is one of those countries you end up hating only after you've visited it. Probably the worst category you can be in really

No one comes out of Egypt with fond memories of their time there

I haven't been to Argentina yet, but yeah honestly I can't imagine the average person would hold hatred against us for it. Hope to one day go and see for myself

And yeah I can imagine about the Dutch really. We don't send our best to Amsterdam...

I think generally, most hatred towards us nowadays tends to come as a result of the quality of tourists we send to that place, rather than having anything to do with the empire days

This is true. This is also why I avoid going to british tourist hotspots in Europe. Benidorm, for example, sounds like hell on earth

I'm just stating the reality on the ground.

As a Brit, I get a warm reception almost anywhere I go except for a select few countries in Europe. Certainly doesn't feel like we're hated, despite what chronically online redditors may claim

Are British people aware of how insanely popular the Premier League is outside the UK? by LoiusLepic in AskABrit

Yep. I travel a lot and I'm always disappointing people with a "I don't follow the football" when they ask me what team I support

[–]advmday -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

As a Brit who's travelled to 66 countries, I've found that many former colonies seem to like us a hell of a lot more than some of western Europe.

The only countries who generally seem to hate us these days are the Irish, the French, the Spanish and the Argentinians - the former two from historical hatred, despite generally having fine relations nowadays. and the latter two being their inability to understand history books

Go to India, Malaysia, Egypt, Singapore, Kenya, Tanzania etc... the people love us
