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.

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.)
