A Joke For Brits Only

As this is my first thread and I'm a humourous kind of guy. I thought I'd start with a reasonably current jest.

When the Septics were getting their asses handed to them in S.E. Asia by a much smaller, less well equipped opponent, why didnt they just insist on a reset?

We said that about the limeys in ww2.

Nothing like a little nationalism to cause a little animosity
Seems like the English are jealous of something
You got Boris, be proud

We didnt need to ask the Germans for a reset back then cause we held them off for three years all on
our own, so that you could come in when they had expended themselves on us and the Russians, so that you could arrive late and claim you won it. Just like the time before.

Nationalist!!! How dare you sir. I'll have you know I'm a Malthiusian Imperialist. You've got Joe, be worried.

Riiiiight. That's the way it went down is it. Guess thats why there are still US airbases in your country 75 years later.


Must be some London prat.

I live on Dartmoor actually. Luckily it was only the booties. Infantry battalions deploy pit diggers and pick axe handles on blank firing exercises.

Sure. More probably like sitting in your local Mcdonalds in Blackpool using the McWifi.

Albert Steptoe agrees with you:

It's not for our benefit that foreign military are still based here, it's for the benefit of the usa only. If only we had a leader with balls who'd kick them out. Absolutely shameful they are still here.

Alexander Boris dePfeiffel Johnson - Sasha to his oligarch friends - descendant of European and Turkish royalty, Eton educated millionaire with a decades long track record of lying and true man of the people has dual nationality. He was born in New York.

I've always wondered why all the British exceptionalists and English nationalists have a blind spot when it comes to US bases.

I wonder the same. It's embarrassing. No issue with allies coming here for join training and exercises but permanent bases here is absurd.

I don't get it.

Wait ... I'm not a Brit.

Never mind. 🤷

Its not a blind spot. We tolerate it so our girl scouts have got someone kick the snot out of.

I thought a British joke would be;

What did the crumpet say to the tea pot?

Nothing.

It is a pastry and cannot speak.

(Insert bawdy British laughter)

A British joke would be what's pink and covered in cobwebs? Maddie's push bike. Or your stepdad putting his fingers under your nose and inviting you to smell ya mum.
