You really Invalided their point right there 👍
Britain doing the heavy lifting on that 98% claim.
The Septics are a right bunch of slackers.
The British empire at its height covered 35.5 million sq km (13.7 million sq mi). Which is 24% of the Earth's total land. To compare the moon is 37.9 million sq km (14.6 million sq mi). Making the moon just ~7% larger than the British empire.
I reckon if we really go for it we could make up that 7%.
Add in the shipping lanes they controlled
I've never heard anyone from France bitch about immigrants. Or Norway. Or Germany. Or Italy. Or Thailand. Or.... this is just an idiotic take.
About 1.5mio. people in Germany were demonstrating in the last two weeks against a political party who among other things have deportation of immigrants on their agenda. They have a shockingly high amount of votes.
Anti immigration far right populist parties have become increasingly popular in almost every European country, often becoming the second largest party even.
Mcbain "that's the joke"
I guess because you haven't heard about it it doesn't exist. What do you think is driving the right wing resurgence across Europe over the past decade?

And even if you've never heard your wide circle of international friends complain about immigration, it doesn't mean the point of the image is invalid. It should be World Law ^TM^ that anyone coming from a former colony of a country should have instant citizenship in said country.
The NR went from 7 seats to 89 in the last French election. If you aren't hearing it then maybe you aren't listening.
Meanwhile Putin machine keeps throwing immigrants over Polish, Finland and Baltics borders.
As well as creating chaos in Africa via proxy military companies.
Thailand built a tourist economy on child prostitution, Italy has had some of the greatest economists and economic theory large scale experiments of all time and still came out of it fucking bankrupt multiple times, but I've got nothing on Germany or Norway though.
I don't think the hypocrisy is the worst part.
I think it's the raping.
I read that last part as Norm Macdonald and it made it a whole lot funnier.
I'm glad you got the reference!
He rapes but he saves
It's not exactly the same people doing both of those things though.
Not to mention that our economies boom off the backs of cheap labor and exploitation abroad. Then we get shocked pikachu face when the lands we've raped and pillage become so inhospitable that refugees come pouring in to our countries.
Some British nationalists do adopt the rhetoric of indigenous peoples. It is wild
I fucking lost it during that David Lammy interview on LBC where that person tried to convince him that he could never truly be British because he's not from Anglo-Saxon heritage.
He dealt with it really well, but it opened my eyes to just how insane some people are in this country. We're literally a country that's invaded and been invaded for centuries, and our culture is a mix of the cultures of several nations.
Father and Son.
RAHHH MERICAAAAA🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Those seem like two different things though
Right? Immigration is so much worse!
For the people in USA and UK for sure
Come now, we've invaded far fewer of the world's countries than the UK.
The real hypocrisy is that every last fucking one of us comes from immigrants, and yet half of us are eager to pull up the ladder behind us.
Invaded fewer, yes. Destabilised for greed and oil, causing mass migration to European countries, that's a whole other story lol
Sorry, I was napping when they asked us if they should do that.
stop napping, then.
Nah.
then dont complain i guess.
Wait, was I complaining? Can you even read?
I would say both actions were extremely xenophobic to start with, though.
Seethe Cope Mald Dilate. We should do it again. Britannia Rules the Waves.
