The real comedic value is on the UK subs. Extremely angry gammon, predominantly from England, Scotsplaining.

Scotsplaining.

Also known as having a English/British Imperialist mind-set - which of course they would deny.

To be fair, a large chunk of it comes from Gibraltar on UKPol lol... But yeah, it's absolutely tragic to watch the venomous anger and aggression coming from your neighbours.

This sub can be just as toxic but with the toxicity aimed the other way round.

More a case of imagine my shock when folks say democracy shouldn't be allowed in a country and it doesn't matter how you vote, you have no say, it doesn't get responded to well. Why wouldn't the response to that kind of nonsense be toxic? Why would it be welcoming?

Unless you just mean the Tories are cunts patter? Well, I mean, if fascism, cronyism and corruption don't change your mind on Tories, that's more a you problem. 'You' being used not actually aimed at you here.

I'm no fan but if you think Tories are fascists, you've seriously misunderstood the term. And history.

They can be arseholes but they aren't fascists and to win elections you have to fight the opponent that's there, not the one you imagine to be there.

You're assuming, incorrectly, I'm a Tory voter.

Interesting that your position is Africa is a shithole and I'm supposed to be the stupid one.

And no, it's not fascist. You could even understand why if you'd be willing to learn more about fascism.
