Know what's funny? The way politics is going, this could happen but with whoever becomes PM after Sunak because HOO BOY SHIT'S GETTING REALLY FUCKING WILD HERE.
Like the current PM made a transphobic Jibe to the Leader of the opposition WHILE THE MOTHER OF A MURDERED TRANSGENDER TEENAGER WAS IN THE FUCKING GALLERY and refused to apologize. Not to long ago we had a scheme to make kids sing this fucking bullshit in schools because people identify with their home nation more than the UK, not to mention all the absolute horseshit that regularly comes out of the UK.
- The UK is really a dead country huh?
  
  The UK was never a nation state to begin with. it's traditions are are shallow as bathwater, mainly based around the Empire, which people are quickly realising is a bad thing. It's four, some would even say five nations poorly stapled together with little interplay between the cultures. Each nation sees itself as it's own thing with it's own politics, identity, culture, ideologies, and even languages.
  The UK is about as much a nation state as Yugoslavia was.
  
  The UK is also on track to be economically weaker than fucking Poland.

  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Hillarious! Just for a few seconds I wondered if this was real!

Stop it meme creators! You were my only reliable news source. Now you are ruining it with fake memes.
- Governments use memes as a format to spawn propaganda. wouldnt rely on em too much in any case
  
  So does 4chan

is that a joke? cuz that sounds hella interesting... the weirder the conspiracies the tastier the popcorn!
- I think it's a joke on the Putin thing. Like OK, a historical border doesn't justify a present day war. Even the leader of Mongolia was riffing on this. Should Mongolia reclaim all of it's former land Asia?

  I mean, it would make cartographer a somewhat easier job.. Do we really need to have all those -stans anyway? 😛
- Yes this is 100% a satirical post mocking Putin for essentially using the same justification for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

See, I’m not a fan of the royal family, but I’m pretty sure Charles would never talk to that cunt for a second, and for that I give him a tiny shred of respect.

If the TV Show The Crown is the slightest accurate, I could definitely imagine King Charles making this exact joke TBH.

England is slipping back into being the cultural backwater they were in the early/mid medieval period. Scotland, northern Ireland and Wales should jump ship sooner rather than later.
- With my Britany's root I long for the re-united celtic confederation
- The anglo colonies are trying to rejoin

my favorite genre of british person: the ones who think they aren’t just as annoying as the americans
- that's just geordies
  
  I prefer Datas

Britannia waives the RULEs.

Ok your royal highness lets get you to bed

Alexander is ready for his interview Mr. Carlson

I see the old man wants round 2.

This is why cousins shouldn't marry and why heads of state shouldn't be whichever inbred result plops out of the royal vagina first.
- You ate the onion, my dude
  
  so many things are onion flavored nowadays it's kinda hard to notice when you get a real one.
  
  Oh well, my comment about monarchy in general and (cavalier) King Charles (spaniel) in particular is still correct 🤷

[ Heart of Oak intensifies ]
- COME CHEER UP ME LADS
  
  TIS TO GLORY WE STEER

Putin should have became a history teacher, he might enjoy that more
- History teachers can turn into far-right politicians quite quickly, though.
  
  Even before clicking on the link I was like, oh yeah, like Bernd Höcke.
  
  Oh shit it's Scott Aukerman's evil twin

The UK - nah they are too weak and small. But I could see a world where a U.S. leader claims that they are the successor state to the british empire and thus have the right to reclaim the land.
- I mean, why not? We already exist on stolen land, and our border policy with Mexico is fueled by colonialism.
- Let's not forget that the royal family is actually of German descendance.
  Before we attribute the empire to the US we should ask the Reichbürger (literally empirce-citizens, kinda like sovereign citizens, but they believe in Monarchy) of Germany if they have a suitable leader for the empire.
  
  I mean if you go back 300 years, but then if you go back 1000-1300 then most of England & Scotland starts to look pretty German (Anglo-Saxons, Norse), with England getting significant French & Scandinavian (Norman = French Norse) influence after and tenuously Austrian (Celts) before that... The native British people were completely wiped out at least twice before that, so frankly all sorts of European nations could* have a claim if Putin rules applied
- Caribbean Islands: chuckles I'm in danger

Sorry but the US belongs to France

Does this include Hong Kong?
