The main reason Britain is not speaking German is the RAF, Royal Navy and British Army.
The Army held off the Germans and made it out of Dunkirk, the Navy was far stronger than Germany’s, and the RAF won the Battle of Britain.
Wish we’d stop with this bullshit.

The main reason Britain is 'not speaking German' is the Red Army. Not the US Marine Corps.

@JoeGilberto96 @TuesdayXitter @CestrianFeline None of which is exclusively English, they are more broadly British food. I'm asking you to tell me something that is available in England that is not in Scotland. I offered you that you will not find jellied eels in Scotland.

The funniest thing about these memes is they have to pretend that Scottish or Irish food is noticeably different and better than English food, for entirely obvious political reasons.
Lapped up by people that couldn't locate Glasgow on a map with a gun to their head.

Every Scottish child should leave school with a deep knowledge of gaelic, brochs and crannogs, Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, Jarlshof, Calgacus, Argentocoxos, St. Columba, Iona, Dun Nechtain, Kenneth MacAlpin, Somorled, Wallace, Bruce, Queen Mary, and the Highland Clearances.

Every British child should leave school with a working knowledge of the KJV bible, Shakespeare, Homer, the Book of Common Prayer, Beowulf, Milton, Chaucer, at least one victorian novelist, and core political texts (Magna Carta, Hobbes, Smith). They're core to everything else.

@VeryBrexitProbs @ofreacharound So you're writing off the Spanish American and US-Mexican War for being too insignificant (despite winning an empire) but you're including Euro "multiple military operations"?
This is why Europe is poor.
English
America has never won a single major war without European allies. Not one, not even their own independence.

Rick Scott: "Europe would all be speaking German if it wasn't for the American service members and what we did to save their butts in the second world war. For them to not support what we're doing in Iran is foolish. So NATO is gonna have to change."

@MarkSeddon1962 @atrupar @SenRickScott Most of what you say is true, however you are falling for the whole Soviet Army did all the heavy lifting thing.
English
@atrupar Dear @SenRickScott in 1939 Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany. The US only joined the war when it was attacked at Pearl Harbour. The Soviet Army did the heavy lifting which saved us all from speaking German. Do avail yourself of something called a 'book'.

The Scots invaded Scotland?
The clue is in the name.
The Scotti were recorded as fighting the Romans and raiding south of the wall, in collaboration with the Picts.
Scotland is the oldest Kingdom on this island.

@IndieAnalogue a load of archaic pish. the scots were invaders

@ewangibbs You are doing the same thing. England and Wales have the same education system. And Smith is on the list.
English
If this is a sincere attempt to introduce British rather than English classics as it were then why aren't Burns, Hume, Smith, Ferguson, Hogg or Stevenson on the list? Why isn't John Knox's Common Order there alongside the Book of Common Prayer?
English
There's going to be a lot of frustrating merging of 'British' with 'English' in this discussion. There is no such thing as a British education system or school curriculum - Scottish pupils study a separate curriculum for separate qualifications. Before we get on to theology ...

@EvensongEnjoyer The Crowns of Scotland and England were the same thing since 1609. I ask you again- The English Monarchy?
English
@DelBoyuno Yes, the Stuart claimants claimed to be Kings of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland.

Pick a LARP, buddy.
(N.B., "Jacobites" are those who support the Roman Catholic descendants of King James II and their claim to the English monarchy)

@Pauldunfy @TheScotsman @theSNP How about we do away with offers over and make it offers around the home report valuation, one of the problems with the O/O is how much do you bid and is it really worth putting in 20-25% over the asking price.

I give you one. Expected life lenght. Explain why if USA is so might, the life expectancy is so short? Do you realize that GDP is measuring all the shit of society and not only the good stuff? Do you realize that unless you for example make a comparison by salary power, different pricing and inflation is worthless? Go to China you go to a nice 5 star hotel for a price of a Italy 3 star, does this make GDP comparable? This is so dumb man

Europoor is an entirely accurate phrase. America is simply in a different league.

@JoeGilberto96 @TuesdayXitter @CestrianFeline More like? Why? Scots food is exactly the same as English food. Hence the point of my question. What's the difference? A few things here or there, haggis in Scotland Jellied eels in London....

@KevinMcCau74874 @TheNorfolkLion You made the claim. It looks like I'm on the same side as you btw. Lower tolerance, for example would have gotten shot of the SNP yonks ago. I'm assuming you mean lower tolerance in all aspects?
English
@KevinMcCau74874 @TheNorfolkLion Give me examples of Scottish lower tolerance point as against English.

@DeusDeadened @CestrianFeline I'm a tosser??? Hahaha you have no clue. Links on a Scottish? Fail again you mung.
English
@DelBoyuno @CestrianFeline Yes, you fuckin tosser, the only necessary components of a full Scottish are Square sausage, fried eggs, black pudding, links, bacon, scone.
You CAN have baked beans, fried tomato/shrooms, fried toast and haggis but none of those are absolutely necessary.

@sekukocgar @TuesdayXitter @CestrianFeline Tell me what is exclusively English. Don't say Roast Beef, Or Fish N Chips. They are equally Scottish.

@DelBoyuno @TuesdayXitter @CestrianFeline One of the stupidest questions of all time. Like asking what is water. Or the colour green

Fish lovers are being told to buy hake instead of cod as the population plunges. Let’s get one thing straight. It is *stupefyingly ridiculous* that cod is a national British dish. Why is a fish that is caught in Norway/Russia/Iceland and processed in China and then deep fried to mask its watery, insipid texture considered the epitome of Britishness? While we are reviving Cornish hake, why don’t we end this bewildering habit of catching world-class seafood like spider crabs and langoustines and shipping it straight off to Europe because ewww “we don’t like the look of it”. Also what about delicious, meaty gurnard, abundant in English waters yet immediately exported to France and Spain? I had one in Cornwall once, and it was the most glorious fish I have ever tasted. I for one would be thrilled to see it in the supermarkets and restaurants.

@TheBarzul Very disappointing that you say evacuation of the "English" btw it is your fucking country, the least you could do was defend it.
English
Les soldats français étaient uniquement présents pendant à peine dix secondes en début de film, alors que sans leur résistance et leurs sacrifices, il y aurait eu un déferlement de la Wehrmacht empêchant l’évacuation des Anglais.
Très déçu de Nolan d’avoir autant occulté cet aspect.
