The exact positioning is comical. Even just saying "we punch way above our weight" would have worked and been less easily ridiculed. Then you can avoid the silly military imagery.

The UK does have a lot of soft power-- France and Germany haven't delivered much pop culture with the global impact of The Beatles or Doctor Who. Even if they're owned by foreigners, Rolls-Royce is still a global shorthand for luxury. The world does gawk at their royal family in a way that they don't at, say, Emperor Naurhito. There are probably ways to lean into that, but they require being a place to incubate cool stuff, not turning into a financial playground that happens to have a rest-of-the-nation attached.

Fuck the conservatives, fuck the labour party. Absolutely shit show. Also there's really nothing to be said about Sunak being Indian heritage. Regardless of ethnicity, He is just another dog of the imperialist powers. I wish he gets what he deserves for when our time comes, we will not make any excuses for the terror.

For a United Ireland, Free Wales and Free Scotland.

Fuck England

"The second strongest" is so pathetic lmao.
