    Still don’t get why people in the UK are so upset about the results of Colonialism. It’s like “We want all your shit to create a conglameration of subcultures to strengthen our ultimate culture. You’re not allowed to be part of it anymore though”

      They want the other cultures to stay over there and just keep harvesting spices for their HP Sauce and sending the profits over. They certainly don’t want them coming over to drive buses or work in the health service in the UK, or to have children who, whilst dark-skinned, are as British as anyone, as seeing a brown person speaking with a Midlands accent does their poor little heads in.

        “Ey, Bruv! I’m just working!” white british mind explodes. Bus goes on about it’s day with no interruption.

        That’s a very good and advantageous magic spell

        Edit: thinking about it, “bruv” might not even be pop slang in the UK anymore. I could just be old in all slang now haha
