queen elizabeth II

Isn't that Tucker Carlson quote more than somewhat anti-American?

idk american anti-britishness always seems kind of perfunctory to me like this half-hearted historical reenactment that only bubbles up occasionally for entertainment or opportunism

I assume carlson defends the confederacy too and would happily trade the US for an even more violent explicitly racist white ethnostate

Mention of Rhodesia a dog bullhorn for white supremacists

I haven't seen much in the way of U.S. anti-Britishness since the end of "the troubles" in Northern Ireland.

lol there's a ton of routine american internet anti-britishness, sections of this very website used to crackle with it

I guess? Maybe I just don't frequent those parts of the internet where it is prevalent. At any rate, I do remember it being much more pronounced when Ireland served as a focal point.

Americans criticising the UK is only annoying when the criticism isn't accurate. We demand absolutely devastating criticism of this terrible country.

Always seemed to me that Americans are far more obsessed with UK royalty than the Brits, our former colonial masters

Meghan Markle is the sun around which our entire universe circles

american anti-britishness has no bite to it was the point, neither does british anti-americanism while we're at it, it's all very tame and safe

When Family Guy or w/e have an episode in the UK it's all "you guys are all plummy and effeminate and use funny words and have bad teeth and food!!!" and yeah, it would be just fantastic if those were the normal criticisms you could make about this cursed place.

That’s pretty much an open secret.

Yes I can tell from your posts.

Another good example is Macron’s letter gushing letter for the Queen published today.

Aquitaine is and forever shall be English

Dordogne is already full of North London tourists.

EXCLUSIVE: Royal beekeeper has informed the Queen's bees that the Queen has died https://t.co/uS5fCVH0Uz

that's sick, you're really gonna shit a hive of bees up telling them the queen's dead

nah she's right here mate, laying some more eggs, been out all morning collecting nectar for her

Bee Google trends, top search: is it ok to wear stripes to a funeral?

the bees thing is nice, i think it's thoughtful to keep them informed

I've read longer sentences

WATCH: The Clerk of the Accession Council read the world’s longest sentence at the end of which (you’ll have to wait) he declares Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, King Charles III.

meanwhile back in the correct world:

My son, Perceval, since learning of Her Majesty's death has been locked away in his art studio taking his grief out on the canvas. What he has painted is, quite frankly, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. He has called it "HM and Harambe, best of friends" pic.twitter.com/U7C1LPsk0R

it's a miracle that these sub-human lizard people actually live so long and don't get murdered by their staff

suspect that elderly tantrum-boy here is gnna turn out to be very bad at a lot of similar things the recently departed was in fact better at

stoked for it tbh lol, he is a very disappointed man and that's not going to change

just read that rumour that his staff have keep boiling eggs and throwing them out when he goes for a walk. If there isn't a perfect boiled one ready on demand when he get's back he throws a strop.

forget when or where i read this, years and years ago, but he's an absolute testy stickler for being called YOUR HIGHNESS, which is a word whose insecure silliness just screams at you as soon as you break it down
