I saw someone american warning their followers about fireworks and pets, and genuinely wondered for a second why they were so invested in the downfall of the tories

nor does the UK, tbh

Can’t their king just arbitrarily decide when people get to vote? I don’t know if that’s true, but we’re free to believe whatever bullshit we want about that broken little pirate island, they deserve it.

Now definitely feels like the right time to enjoy whatever freedoms you have left so knock yourself out, but an actual pirate island, broken or not and regardless of size, would be significantly cooler than the reality here.

We throw bits of paper into boxes. The party who has the most paper in the right boxes wins. But you have to throw it from 16ft away.

Didn't they just get a new king recently? Was he killed in another dragon attack or something?

🤣

And yet you are, in a beautiful bit of symmetry, having *your* election on *our* special fireworks day.

I say let them have a little Independence Day as a treat - they're the single greatest cause of them.

I've been told that on average every 6 days a country celebrates their independence from the British Empire.

Wonder what Afghanistan and Vietnam are celebrating.

Tbf, it’s become increasingly clear that the only reason the Prime Minister called an election for 4th July was because his advisers all had bets running on what date they could persuade him to pick. Bonus payout to whoever got him to stand out in the rain to make the announcement.

we're having fireworks on your election day, if that helps?

I miss Peggy Thatcher
