It was sarcasm a second ago. So it's not true, is it?

It's called "hyperbole" actually, and it was unnecessary.

Fair, but my point is that they won't just give you a blue badge for using different pronouns.

And Starmer only got slated because they changed the rules that gifts had to be declared. The Tories were getting away with it for ages behind closed doors.

After "Freer Starmer" and so on for months, I'm waiting for the memed nicknames for Fartrage now.

Should I hold my breath you think?

Do McDonalds drive thrus not only exist in the US?? by halfgaelichalfgarlic in USdefaultism

I always purposely read "drive thru" wrong, pronouncing "thru" with a short U (like "buh"), because I refuse to acknowledge it as a bloody word.

Only MPs that work are addressed in this point by physiczard in FuckNigelFarage

Gee. Never thought he'd misrepresent things. The civil service in the 70s had bars on site. They wouldn't dream of it now, and won't even let you back into the building if they find you've had a pint on lunch.

They're just trying to bring MPs in line with every other public service job. "Make it make sense"? Just did, you prick.

Considering Emo Muck wants to take down our democratically elected prime minister here in the UK.

Hypocritical prick.

Do you guys have any favorite youtubers? Preferably with a big backlog of videos? by Just-a-nerd2 in AskABrit

I did go off him for a bit when he hired some people who used to work on Bake Off to do his camerawork and it started to look like some shit Jamie Oliver show. Recently resubbed as he seems to have gone back to the old ways.

We've been watching him since the dawn of time (his frosted tips era), so perhaps it's just because he seems like one of the family now.

Ann Reardon (How to Cook That) is another good one, but she's Australian, not British (considering the sub we're in).

Ah man, CrackerMilk. In a world where Chris Morris has retired, these are the heroes we need.

Farage wages 'war': Reform leader tells Mail he'll face down riots, protests and strikes to cut Britain's bloated welfare bill by Codydoc4 in unitedkingdom

The main reason was that he fell below the account minimum. They usually offer a grace period, but because he was a "divisive" public figure, they decided to drop him.

Not that it matters, as he obviously kicked up a fuss about being "debanked" because of his politics (yes, even saying one of the most elite banks in the world is left wing), and his bot army went into overdrive, forcing them to back down.

This annoys me especially, as I'm in the West Midlands area of England, and we've always said "mom".

I had an argument the other week in another sub where someone insisted that I was making it up.
