Feck you too, I guess. If that's how you want to behave.

I could understand you being unhappy with our government, but just blanket swearing at all 68 million of us is a dick move.

    Are you the UK? No, you're someone who lives there. The UK is a state.

    Let’s not even get into the legitimacy of a state calling itself “The UK of GB and NI” when they’d have a tough time proving NI is entirely onboard

    That’s just every country, isn’t it? Seems like most of Spain has separatist movements; Provence and Brittany and Burgundy retain their sub-national identities; probably some in Tobago want to split from Trinidad. If Northern Ireland joined Eire no doubt the Loyalists would start clamouring to reverse that.

    "brevity is the soul of wit"

    ~Shakespeare

    "Um actually, wit is actually a subjective phenomenon, with everyone having a different idea of what it actually means. How could such a construct actually possess a 'soul'? And that's not even getting started on the assertion that souls actually exist in any real way".

    ~Obinice
