people will say how things are “in Africa” like it’s one big place that’s homogenous throughout
but god forbid you say “Britain” when you mean “England”
More you might like
But when you’re referring to Britain you can also be referring to Scotland and Wales… I’ve met some English people that got offended when I called them “British” and just wanted to be called “English”. Others didn’t care. I guess it’s all relative.
Yeah, and when you refer to “Africa,” you could be referring to Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, São Tomé and Príncipe, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, or Zimbabwe, and those are just the 54 recognized sovereign states listed on wikipedia
Not to mention the fact that there are around 62,641,000 (62 million) people in the handful of countries in the UK, while there are around 1,032,532,974 (just over a billion) in the dozens of countries on the continent of Africa
Do you see why it’s a problem that people get who don’t give two shits about the “Africa” thing but still get super worked up about the “Britain” thing?
Europeans: Haha those dumb Americans voting for Trump!
*Ignores Golden Dawn in Greece*
*Ignores UKIP in Britain*

Europeans: Stupid Americans don’t you know that we made racism illegal in 1881 :) No racism in Europe :)
People who think Britain is paradise and won’t shut up about BBC and tea and say stuff like “If I had a British accent I’d never stop talking”

She’s actually taking the piss out of a London accent.( more specifically cockney). ‘British’ accent implies you think all of Britain speaks like this.You would be wrong. If you want to take the piss, at least do some research.
oi it a joke innit chap? just a wee li’ol jest ol bean, dont get ye knickers in a twist. cheerio
joke or not, do your research. or is that too hard for Americans to do cause they’re do busy shooting up schools and having to pay for their healthcare? answer to that is probably.
what song are we gonna get trending when trump dies i feel like we need to figure this out now and be ready for it
Actually I’ve decided it’s gonna be Party in the USA. Easily recognizable. A bop. If it’s trending people will know why without even having to listen to the song. Republicans will be mad. It’s perfect.
Wasn’t there a post goin around a while ago where Britain got “ding dong the witch is dead” trending after one of their prime ministers died? If you’re picking up what I’m putting down
Yeah when Thatcher died Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead went to no. 2 in the UK
SCREAM
wait…
christopher eccleston…
AS IN THIS CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON???
The self-described working-class actor also says that cultural inequality is “much more pronounced” in Britain than it used to be, and that it would be difficult for a young actor with his background to succeed in the industry today.
“You can’t blame Eddie Redmayne or Benedict Cumberbatch but inequality will lead to a milky, anodyne culture. To an extent that’s already happened,” he argues.
Eccleston stresses that it’s not just about the working class though. “There’s not enough writing for women or people of colour” he says. “It frustrates me when they insist on doing all-male Shakespearean productions – a wonderful intellectual exercise, maybe, but it’s outrageous because it’s putting a lot of women out of work.”

this quote is tangentially related, but I think it helps show where this is coming from. he’s already very aware of Britain’s cultural inequality (maybe even experienced it himself, idk), and who better represents that inequality than the parasite queen herself?
And this is why Christopher Eccleston basically got blacklisted from the BBC for about 10 years

???? We use the metric system in Britain and Europe. Imperial system isn't even taught here. Literally only three countries in the world still use the imperial system and those are Liberia, Myanmar, and north America. What on earth was the British guy doing??
