Both Liberal and Conservative governments relied on Irish Nationalists for supply in several governments. Labour have relied on SNP and SDLP votes in more recent times too
Of course they can. Irish citizens of Britain are equal citizens but nobody would countenance a coalition with Sinn Fein. Israelis do not want a government with Islamists or Arab nationalist communists.

A política brasileira é uma coisa incrível
10 years ago, @FlavioBolsonaro ran for mayor of Rio de Janeiro. In the debate, he passed out & shit his pants (yes, really). One of the candidates was a doctor & tried to help. His dad, Jair, yelled "communist, get your hands off my son!" & "01, did you turn yellow? Do pushups!"

Completely true and I adhere to it fully unless someone comes for Nelson or Harold Godwinson then I become the English equivalent of those Turkish accounts w Atatürk pfps
it’s extremely funny when people from nationalist societies go “oh you insulted (insert leader from my country)? well how would you like it if we insulted (leader from your country that most locals already insult)?”

My commitment to go to Brazil next year is marginally hampered by how expensive it is now that I’m not able to take a 36 hour flight with four layovers 😔

It must feel so good to mog Vladimir Putin but even moreso when you’re also leader of one of the nicest places in Africa
Caros compatriotas, Estamos em Moscovo, a convite do Presidente da Federação da Rússia, Vladimir Putin, para participar na 3.ª Cimeira Rússia–África. Esta presença reflecte a importância que atribuímos ao diálogo, à cooperação e ao fortalecimento das relações entre Moçambique, a Federação da Rússia e os países africanos. À margem desta agenda, participámos hoje na 8.ª Cimeira do Fórum dos Países Exportadores de Gás, onde defendemos que os recursos energéticos devem gerar desenvolvimento para os nossos povos e fortalecer a cooperação entre as nações. #Vamostrabalhar

Wow immediately caving and begging from forgiveness from Beijing he really is Mobutu
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mao Zedong is under any single social metric a dictator. Not a single popular election, single government party and lifetime leadership. Not even taking into account the millions of deaths under his reign. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong

I’ve discussed the ‘bad food’ myth many times but visiting London and concluding its citizens are miserable is a colossal self report lmfao
london is a city that dares to ask the question: what if there was a world-class capital with bad weather, high cost of living, mediocre food and miserable people? nevertheless, it persists

Maybe you’re just not very likeable old boy, I wasn’t born here and yet it’s been a struggle to identify an English-speaking city with more welcoming and generally jolly people

Aiming for the AI bubble to crash just as I’m about to quit my potential new job to go back to uni so I can take voluntary redundancy and not look like an arse. This makes that a lot more likely

It’s so tiresome
There is nothing socialist about a system of free movement that is used by multi-nationals to undermine wages. WATCH my Brexit speech today.

Favourite kind of poster are those hustle grindset guys from here/Europe who lament how low our salaries are and have ‘fled’ to Dubai or Southeast Asia or wherever else but you can tell they are on barely 25k

Yeah lad I’m sure you’re obviously Klarna-financed SUV and fake Rolex represents your actual net worth not the fact you live in a tax haven/place with a cost of living less than 5% of here

Andy Burnham wants you to join an organisation full of people who put the currency symbol at the end and you don’t think he’s the spawn of Satan?
🚨 Cool map alert: Placement of the Euro Symbol € in the European Union (from Reddit) It seems Belgium uses both €10,0 and 10,0 €. The former in Flanders and the latter in Wallonia.

As a certified plummy accent haver this isn’t plummy, it’s just standard Southeastern. My culture is not her costume
British pro-Pal Chloe says that the Palestinian flag represents “freedom from capitalism, imperialism and colonialism” from her nice house in London. In her plummy accent she claims to be like the “workers” in Palestine. I honestly don’t get these people.

One big issue any Rejoin campaign will have is that the strongest perk of rejoining (free movement) is 1) not necessarily tied to EU membership and 2) the thing the public at large hates the most about the EU
