She said UK in the second post in the thread.

Can you read?

Just admit that your stupid "Please write everything incase a stupid yank is reading this" request was stupid.

"The UK isn't the centre of the world"

100% agree.

"Therefore please write every post for an USA audience. "

Uh, that's a no.

Literate people pick it up from context!

This is sad for you, you really think that's comparable to the OP?

"Speaker Johnson is a coward not calling letting Congress sit"
"Actually, as a former Prime Minister of the UK, Boris Johnson has no ability to call Congress, and is in fact not speaker of the house".

That's how you sound

But also, wait, Khan!?!?!?

There are lots of people with that surname! Why would you assume its the one that you know?!?!

They would presumably assume "Huh, this post doesn't matter to me" and they would move on both their life, and not insist someone explain the fucming obvious in every non USA post.

Richard @richd028.bsky.social · 2h

The clue is when someone says UK in their post they are referring to the UK.

Why the fuck would Imran Khan be pedestrianising Oxford Street?

Richard @richd028.bsky.social · 2h

I know it's British because she said "UK" in her post and I know how to read :)

Richard @richd028.bsky.social · 2h

Ok, but Mr Snape just claimed that not clarifying that by Khan you mean the mayor, and not Genghis, that I'm being imperialist, which is incredible.

But, Charles meets the Pope this week. The Pope is a Monarch...

So what is it Highlander rules?

If so my moneys on Charles.

Accepting that American politics isn't your business today is fun, considering the army of Yanks who have decided in the past 12 hours that your opinion on the Green Party of England and Wales is their business...

Like if I say "Fucks sake, why isn't Oxford Street pedestrianised get on it Khan".

I'm referring to Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, not Chinggis Khan, who was the founder and first khan of the Mongol Empire.

Mate, it's October 2025, in a British politics context Polanski means the leader of the political party, not some 90 year old American.

Everyone who that post was intended for understood thar.

You know, right.

Why are they describing Birmingham like this, when they are really describing Solihull.
