Half my family are Glaswegians, half are Canadians, we take it in turns to call each other out on being soft southerners?
But thats what it is, and my Best Man/Best mate is a bloody Scouse.
When the jokes run out, we will find something else to take the [rise] out of?

What the hell are you doing allowing Geordies in Fist Class?
For the Europeans on board, they are only allowed to speak to Geordies if Subtitles are enabled?

The Port Glasgow yard embodies a broader truth: without a distributed network of regional shipyards, Britain risks the very skills that make national shipbuilding possible.

Donald Trump gets confronted in the Oval Office about his demand for $230 million in taxpayer dollars and admits that it's "awfully strange" but he's going to be "paying myself" with our money.

Our felon president is looting the treasury right in the open...

#OTD in 1943, Holme-on-Spalding-Moor airfield. Following their briefing, Handley Page Halifax crews from 76 Squadron boarding their transports, before a raid to Kassel. Of the 569 aircraft used in the attack, 43 were lost, of which 25 were Halifaxes. #WW2 #HISTORY

Kirton-in-Lindsey airfield. Boulton Paul Defiants from 264 Squadron. They had no forward-firing guns and were vulnerable to fighter planes. (PO Kay, in the first plane, piloted the only plane that came back from a six-plane mission on 13 May 1940, above Holland.) #WW2 #HISTORY

(This is interesting.) The first Fieseler Fi 103 (the infamous V1) was fired on London, on 13 June 1944. This drawing is from 16 June, three days later! (Note, it's an impulse engine. Still being experimented with, today.) #WW2 #HISTORY

History repeatedly shows, when you depose a King, you better have a good look at who is doing it and why.
There will always be a power struggle to be the next head of state.
The "winner" of that will probably be the worst person you would want in power.

In the 17th century the British famously removed the need for the royal hat budget with a single stroke, FFS!

Given your whole "Parliament is supreme but actually we mean King-in-Parliament when we say Parliament" thing I'm more than a /little/ skeptical that you'd had anything close to a "No Kings" movement in the 17th century.
