This is exactly why we didn't want you to have independence. You clearly weren't ready. I mean the whole Trump issue was one thing, but this... This is just monstrous.

Tbf you did have King George.

[–] smeg 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't believe you didn't want to be governed by a guy called "Mad King George"

Let's not be pointing fingers now.

They’ve had three new prime ministers since you made this comment.

Don't throw that stone too hard, after BoJo.

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bojo was no where near djt levels of messed up. Bad but not as bad.

What's worse? A smart guy pretending to be dumb while tearing apart a country? Or a dumb guy pretending to be smart while tearing apart a country? Silver lining on the latter is at least you see all the stuff they're too dumb to hide.

The smart one, at least their shit will be calculated and not like a bull in a China shop on amphetamines after being taxed in the balls.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I see your point, though I don't necessarily see it as a good thing. "Calculated" can be much more damaging depending on what the goal of the calculation is.

You people drink instant coffee. We are not the monsters here.

[–] deeply_moving_queef@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m genuinely unsure if drip coffee is better than instant.
