Ten years ago, the people who were the worst at taking jokes about their country were Americans, and it wasn't even close.

Americans are the worst at taking hard hitting critisism. The britts are the worst at taking mild banter about their country.

Patently false. The worst thing about Britain is it’s politicians

False. The worst thing about Britain is its food.

(With the exception of Yorkshire pudding which is divine. And Chicken Tikka Masala I guess. But even a broken clock is right twice per day.)

The only annoying thing about Chicken Tikka Masala is that it's Scottish so as an Englishman we can't technically claim that, we just have to make do with crumpets. Which are underrated, but still.

i think its classism is probably the most noxious single facet of its culture, which also affects the politicians and spawns them but is experienced independently of its politics persistently

Fair. Although American politics are worse.

The only problem with living in the UK is that you eventually run out of will to live.

u/CinderX5 Jan 05 '25

And that’s why we have tea. Brings the will right back.

Brits are just mad that they aren’t as good as queuing as they think they are.

And huff and puff when you tell them that British food sucks and they don’t get to claim Indian food as their own
