Sorry, but why is this a British problem?

Cous be be they turn out shite overpriced and gimmicky alcopops.
- Comment on High court upholds top London school’s ban on prayer rituals 7 months ago:
No doubt we’ll get protesters from nowhere near the school, jumping up and down and threatening violence because the religious rights of children they don’t have, are being destroyed by blasphemers and kaffirs.
They knew the school was non religious when they signed up. Don’t start complaining now.
- Comment on Keir Starmer: Labour wants to increase defence spending to 2.5% 7 months ago:
Very sensible. We shouldn’t be relying on good old Uncle Sam, he may well throw us under the
tankbus anyway. - Comment on Fake stamps circulating in the UK are originating from China, lawmaker says 7 months ago:

- Comment on Home Office begins calling failed asylum seekers with £3k offer to go to Rwanda 8 months ago:
Not sure if I’ve understood this correctly. Why would failed asylum seekers expect to stay here? Or indeed anywhere their application has failed.
Cue cries of ‘rascist’ and ‘nazi’, but I really am curious. If you’ve been denied asylum from somewhere, why would you expect to be allowed to stay there?

Or they could just be a bit more parenty.
- Comment on Faith school banning parts of geography lessons, Ofsted finds 8 months ago:
Constantly inadequate, leaving out parts of the national curriculum, admitting pupils when they’ve been not to take on anymore, interfering in inspections. Why is it still open?
Probably because week have wringing hands and claims that they’re being repressed because of their faith.
It’s their faith that is doing the repressing.
Religion. Fucking people over since we first stood upright.

- Comment on Councils call for pavement parking to be banned across England 9 months ago:
This. My ex has a separate garage with hardstanding in front of it 25m from her front door. The garage is full of shite and she parks in ‘her space’ outside her front door. She gets the arseache if someone else parks there as well.
Thing is, there is a Tesco Express at the end of the road and delivery lorries have taken her driver side wing mirror about three times.
Still has to park in her space though.
- Comment on Councils call for pavement parking to be banned across England 9 months ago:
Yes, Because I am entitled. So there. Peasant.

Good point. Let’s just take everything off of them.

A year. Without access to their bank accounts.

What’s CPC precious?
- Comment on UK retailers face weak demand and a barrage of increased costs 11 months ago:
Not Amazon, that’s half the reason Hight Streets are struggling.
Gift vouchers for local places, magazine or software subscriptions.
I’d love them for Christmas, I don’t need more shirts.

You mean The Channel. Its not big enough to be an ocean, you can even swim it!

That’s a bit far-fetched isn’t it?
