I have no issue with people being British either but I just don't agree with the lifestyle.

But they did live in Eden, we've got a bunch of those.

I just don’t like the British lifestyle being forced down my throat. They even have an anthem and such. Why can’t they just be quietly British. I don’t rub my non-Britishness on them.

My country, ‘tis of thee; sweet land of liberty, of thee I see.

Damn I miss the age of parody lyrics being the highest form of insult. We should go back to that. (Yes, fellow Americans, that song that literally all of us know is just a trolling parody of “god save the queen” and most people don’t know that which makes it even more funny.)

I'm so stoked to watch this. I loved Rose and Mike, and I'm so excited to have them back. They seem like perfect picks for their roles. Kids should make it extra goofy. I haven't been able to watch any TM for some months, so I'm going to have a lot to catch up on

Do they really have to expose us to their lifestyle like that? How will I explain this to my kids

I can understand someone not wanting their kids to see the Scottish. But the English and the Welsh? Those people live SOUTH of the wall.

The one made of corn? Doesn't sound very structurally sound

My spouse's parent was British but fortunately didn't raise them that way.

British is a nationality that encompasses English, Welsh, Scottish and some of Northern Ireland. Why do so many people think British=English?

Now I'm curious: What exactly do you think the screenshotted tweet is about? And what does English have to do with it?

The comment was so close to being comedy gold by being about people conflating two differenr groups as is often the case with discrimination.
