Atrios: this is real — Subium • Bluesky web client

this is real

this is “start a world war to feel alive” national spirits and while I’m not worried about it in the short term I kind of am in the medium term

Bragging about being the second most powerful country is extremely funny. Can we get them to start calling us the head boy?

they mean second behind, say, Portugal

I think Spain 🇪🇸 as that's who they lost to in the 23 WWC 🤷🏻‍♂️

_Are_ they the second most powerful country in the world? What exactly do they have going for them other than being a client state of their former colony who happens to be #1?

Being our most culturally familiar client state might de facto make a country #2. But of course international power is complex and the day when that of the US is no longer the greatest will pass without us realizing it at the time. It easily already has.

Fr, if you're going to lie about your country, why tell such a lame one?

Britain is still a major world power* *Based on an average of world power in each year from 1815 to the present

i am really enjoying the F-35 on there. like, ok lads, fly safe but if i see you horsing around out there i'll have uncle joe take the keys away.

“…second most powerful…”

Right? "We're #2! We're #2!" No ring to it at all.

are they even the second most powerful country in Europe, if they're even considered part of Europe

Poland would take their lunch money, Germany could score with Kate Middleton, France could ship 80 tons of pigshit thru the Chunnel, & this Etonian twat would eat shit & take it. They're done...

I believe this is what the kids these days call a "cope"

Sure, like birds

"strong as ever"?? I hate to break it to you, cousin, but at this point you're lucky the Scots are such a kindly people, & the Irish have bigger fish to fry, otherwise you'd be dangling from a gibbet on the Tower Green. Number 2? Bub, I've got some bad news for you...

:-) Debatable whether the UK is even in the Top 10....

I thought people were laughing at something made by a random purple-faced idiot on Facebook, I had no idea this was from The Conservative Party. I had low expectations but

You may have been right with your first assessment as well.

That's a good point

I see they've just taken to putting stickers all over their notebooks like we did in the seventies. Except our Wacky Packages weren't a euphemism for a governing party.

Yo @stefgotbooted.bsky.social is this real

Haha I genuinely couldn't believe it was. Also, check out their bio. What the fuck is this and who in their right mind would want a DM from Rishi Sunak.

I did this and he just sends me obscene cartoons

How obscene?

The last one was so upsetting Siri activated and screamed for me to put a bullet in it but I just hit mute lmao not gonna listen to a computer

Fuck computers, all my homies hate computers.

Can we send him obscene cartoons too? @ifoundtheflower.bsky.social this might be what you’ve been training for

Remember when Gov opened up a discord and had to block emojis

Yes. The greatest day

that was fantastic, i'd forgotten about that

Haha no what's this now

i hope the next pm sends dick pics

Daniel Kawczynski for PM

Oh fuck off

As a British person I’d just like to say *digs deep hole, sets hole on fire, jumps into hole*

'Sticking with the plan that's working' thing is guys we kind of wanted something that worked for the majority and supports the most vulnerable not something that works by helping the top 0.005% dramatically increase their hoard at the expense of everyone else

'I showed you my polluted water, demonisation of minority groups and support for genocide, please respond'

The line DM from the PM sounds like a jerk thought of it! Of course it’s the CONservatives.

I am fucking clinically deceased, I'm done, no self own will ever top this, shut the Internet off & burn the servers...

"Correction: our recent statement about the UK being the 'second most powerful country in the world' should have read 'second most powerful country in the British Isles'..."

Are they claiming the F-35 as British?
