Hilariously Chaotic “Great British Memes” To Prove The U.K. Is Unlike Anywhere Else In The World (New Pics)
Great Britain was connected to mainland Europe until 9,000 years ago by a land bridge known as Doggerland (haha). However, modern humans have inhabited it for around 30,000 years! And a lot were quite memorable. Like the Queen who raised Corgis, the Prime Minister who delivered epic speeches, or the half-blood wizard who found the philosopher’s stone. To get a better understanding of this colorful bunch and their current problems, check out the memes we found on the subreddit r/GreatBritishMemes.

The Real Queen

Live Aid was a total catastrophe. The idea was simple "people are starving to death, give them food". The trouble was that they had no plan to distribute this food or what impact it would have in the population. Sadly, as could be predicted, the corrupt Ethiopian government used the food to force huge numbers of civilians from particular ethnic groups onto barren land in return for (some of) the food. Those who moved were then wholly dependent on food aid and were completely at the mercy of a hostile government who had total control over whether they ate or starved. The descendants of these people are still there today living under the most deprived conditions imaginable. While their intentions were good, Ethiopia and millions of people are far worse off now due to Live Aid.

You ALL have the ability to set parental settings on devices and purchase blocking software for household computers, but instead, you try to regulate everyone else, and destroy the lifelines of many artists. Because you're f*****g lazy. If I'm doing the speed limit and your dumbfuq kid darts out in front of my car, it's not my fault when they get flattened. Teach your kids, or f**k off. Stop trying to control everyone else.

UK Online Safety Act Be Like

I was born in 1984. I remember regularly finding p**n just tossed out behind random houses. I had a pretty intricate collection by the time I was 14. It was not that hard to find as a kid. When we got the internet my parents bought blocker software and it took me about 30 minutes to find ways around it on our shared household computer, after they went to bed. If you try to block sexually curious teens from something, they WILL find a way to access it. You can't stop them. You can only educate them.

Drove multiple hours with our 10-year-old granddaughter this weekend. Grieved that she couldn't be bothered to look up from her iPad the whole way. Sweet girl, but I fear the need to be attached to "content," be it social media, videos or music during down time will be the ruin of future generations.

I always thought, "I can sorta understand not having HVAC air conditioning when it's really only hot a few days a year. But do yourselves a favor and at least get a window unit." But then I found out y'all don't even have ceiling fans?!?!?! Those are great for a whopping portion of the year!

As a Canadian, the "insulate Britain" movement was staggering to me. You people complain about how hot the summer is or cold the winter is, but have mostly UNINSULATED HOUSES? I mean... How much more culturally "f**k around and find out" can you be without being from the US?

Isn't It Possible For Us To Dream

Liverpool to Manchester was the world's first intercity passenger railway and while it's not fast due to Westminster imposed under-investment, it's still going. Meanwhile: the local Merseyrail network goes down as far as Chester and up as far as Southport - although you'd have to change trains in Liverpool to make that journey. Check it out - it ain't so bad.

Ok, I thought having to watch ads on Prime TV while having a Prime membership was exploitative, but having to pay to simply watch TV to fund ... (having trouble understanding the Wiki explanation involving the BBC and ... oh, just read it for yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licensing_in_the_United_Kingdom ) Meanwhile in the US, federal funds for public broadcasting were just plain eliminated.

The Fun Police Are Doing Their Usual Thing In Facebook Local Community Groups

Fireworks are not a problem. Stupids throwing bombs (sold as fireworks) in the pasture are. We got that tackled after stupids were confronted with the costs for a vet and disposal of a dead horse. And told that little sis cannot come visit horsey anymore. Stupids got cured. Partially due to running out of money to buy more bang, partially due to upset little sis and a tiny fraction of feeling guilty.

Ah, yes, the Online Safety Act. The time when the government decided to challenge the rest of the world to simply unplug the UK. And, given that there's no centralised and trusted age verification service (because it's utterly half-ársed like everything else the government does) I wonder how long until there's a massive data leak of PII that wouldn't be necessary if it wasn't for that stupid poorly written "I dunno and neither does Ofcom" piece of sh!t legislation that the idiot Sunak signed into law.

This makes me realize how little I know about what's going on with the UK now that the far-off Brexit stuff is over. There's so much news about the current administration and Ukraine and Palestine sh ite shows that world news gets drowned out in the US. This was interesting!

Mel in Georgia: all short summaries of the Online Safety Act misrepresent things terribly. Give it a year and then we might know what sort of a mess we've *actually* got.

So... Britain passed a law in response to children accessing pornography, and it ended up banning political discourse about immigration, religion, homosexuality, guns, etc.? And this was the *conservative* party? And you can't figure out how to ban p**n for children without banning political or educational content?

BrunoVI: it's madder than that. On the other hand, give it a year, it'll get sorted out somehow. In the meantime, my 15 year old child knows all about VPNs...
