Because I was clearly someone heinous in a previous life, like a serial killer or the arsehole who invented clamshell packaging.
Just to suffer.
If you want to buy cigarettes in the UK, the counter by law looks like this:
The packets themselves by law look like this:
But you can castrate your children no problem.
As for smoking fags, I hear that's more a Slovakian thing.

Have you ever gotten scared the internet police might get you for mean words? I assume you are smarter than the average twatter drone who uses their real name and photos everywhere while saying no no words.
Are the internet police presence as bad as we Amerifags think it is?

NGL, I lol'd at the second one because I had a mental image of this kid being hooked up to a tank full of cigarette smoke.

Nah, blud.
Anyway, chavs aren't really a "thing" anymore except in Essex and Kent. The new hotness is being a "Roadman", which is similar but at least involves less stupid-looking clothing and (slightly) better music.
Yeah, baby!
Protestantism. Though nobody here eats "traditional" British food except boomers. It's all Italian, Indian or Asian for those with actual tastebuds.
I'm not too worried at the moment. Firstly, Plod only care about Facebook and Twatter, which I don't use. The Caroline Farrow thing was an exception because some troons who she was already feuding with followed her here where she posts under her own name. If my opsec was worse or I had irl enemies watching me, things might be different.
In Scotland, yes it is. In Scotland it is now a crime to be racist in private, inside your own house. I actually want Scotland to get and win their independence referendum so that they can form their own Police State and not infect the rest of the UK with their determination to turn it into Venezuela. Already they're instituting rent controls and, big shock, homelessness has gone up because nobody wants to rent out their houses if you can't increase the rent when inflation is 10%. They're also saying they're going to nationalise the North Sea oilfields, which is interesting because most of the companies that own them are at least part-American. General McPinochet when?
As for the rest of the country, well there was this:
They "apologised" for it, because it's not *quite* true in law, but you can tell they're itching to be let off the leash. The current Conservative government is slapping them down when they try, but when Labour win the next election in 2024 (which they will, easily, because the current government is imploding) things will get a lot worse.
Pretty bad. Not Germany bad, but bad. We've been warned to expect blackouts this winter, because they want to "save gas for heating", except they haven't realised that most modern boilers need electricity to work, so there's going to be a bodycount. I've installed a wood-burning stove in my fireplace because fuel logs are cheaper than gas (they're even cheaper if you "acquire" them from the local woods). But if you live in a house built later than about 1960, they're designed for central heating and don't have chimneys so you're boned. I've also installed solar panels and a fuckhuge battery to keep the lights on during blackouts. There are reports of incentive schemes that pay you to use less electricity at peak times. If so, I'm going to charge the battery off-peak to run the house on-peak and pocket the cash. Not everyone can afford to do what I've done though.
Tony Blair. He had an uncontrollable urge to either ban everything or make it compulsory.

I'm retarded, any particular reason why conservatives in Scotland are collapsing?
I asusme this is an impossible question to answer, but what is with the culture of pedophiles at the top of the chain?
I heard classism is the main thing over there on oppression. What's it like if you experience it?
Is there any nice scenery by you?

Because I guess there needs to be a way from balding Brummies called Sid or Herbert to tow their caravans to Cornwall and the canal system goes faster than they evidently like to fucking drive.
You're not going to survive on anything less than 40%abv these days.
Yes. When my remaining parent passes I'm going to use the money to emigrate. Got the paperwork sorted already.
Fortunately I have a licence to tell you that you need a licence to have a licence to have a licence.
Sorry, I meant that the Conservatives nationally are collapsing, they died out in Scotland decades ago. The reasons for the national Tory collapse are that Boris Johnson held wild parties at Downing Street during lockdown when such things were illegal, then lied to the Police, Parliament and the press about it. He eventually resigned after a week of complete farce when his own party were trying to force him out and he wouldn't go - he'd appoint a minister only for them to immediately resign. I think he managed 3 Education ministers in one day at one point. His replacement, Liz Truss, is someone who would be much more at home as a junior HR manager in some failing company somewhere but instead brings her room-temperature IQ to the highest office in the land. She has only been in office 38 days, and within 2 weeks decided that what the country really needed was tax cuts for rich people, even though the rich people didn't want tax cuts because of the knock-on effect on interest rates, the currency, and the housing market. The result was an economic catastrophe with the Bank of England having to buy $100bn of government bonds to stop the economy crashing, a surge in interest rates has wiped out any savings the tax cuts would have given people and may cause hundreds of thousands of people to lose their homes, the IMF issued a statement that basically said they didn't understand what the fuck the British were doing, and she had to reverse the changes within days causing nobody to believe a single word she said. She went onto some local radio stations to explain the government's "policy", and it did not go well:
As a result of this utter chaos and ineptitude by people clearly not intelligent enough to understand what they're doing, Labour have been as much as 30% ahead of the Conservatives in opinion polls. That would be ridiculous in a 2-party system, but we have a whole bunch of other parties and the Tories still managed to be 30% behind. They're completely fucked and the only real question is whether the government will make it all the way to the next election in 2024 or just collapse before then.
Paedophiles are at the top of the chain everywhere, it's just that British ones were worse at getting away with it than all the others, because we suck at literally everything.
I wouldn't know, I'm a fucking Duke.
(It's way less of a thing than it was, no more than it is in say the US, with the way urban trendies look down on rednecks and trailer trash).
Yes there is, because I moved the fuck away from London years ago and every time I visit I get happier and happier about my decision to do so.

Thanks, I was behind on my overall Bri*ish news so Jesus Christ, that makes sense and is fucking insane. You'd think they'd send their best to the front but that might have been their best which is sad.
That makes sense on pedos and classism as well.
What's it like driving by or seeing super old buildings and monuments? We have some stuff in the USA but it's not the same age usually. I'd imagine it's like any other scenery where it blends in after a while.
What's the best fast food chain there, for a given value of "best" since it IS fast food, after all?

I'm very happy for you.
