Well, technically it’s because when the Normans invaded us, the bit they had in France was Bretagne. We got named Grand Bretagne, on account of being bigger, eventually becoming the anglicised Great Britain. A defunct geographical prefix makes us “Great” :lou_lol: ---

I’m thinkning its time we had a new prefix that reflects Britain as it is today - lets hold a competition to find the most appropriate new moniker. I’ll go first: Shit Britain ---

Do you even know where we get the name from, Bazza? It is not an indigenous designation. ---

The Sanchez’s have been here since the Magna Carta and have been rebelling since that time in East Hampshire, we were brought over as shark wranglers for the bored and wealthy so my mother tells me. ---

I think the words you are looking for are mock shock indignation, an area lived in by persons who hate this Country and the sorts of lowlife who question everything we do and say ISIS is great and we are the reason they are arseholes. ---

People love to be outraged, its pure opportunism, I am militant but I dislike the pinko’s and fringes as they will use anyone to get to their core agenda of anyone in power. They just love to be unhappy, they stir up more hatred than anyone else in this land because they don’t want others being happy or happier then them. You can throw the metropolitan elite on there and the apologist as well. ---

And there was me thinking that radicalised religious nutters were battling with the far right to see who stirred up the most hatred, but it appears that both groups have been beaten to top spot by apostrophe-wielding pinko’s and fringes. Pinko and Fringe should be a cop show. He’s a gay rookie who breaks the rules, she follows protocol and cuts her own hair using a pudding basin - between them they solve crime… ---

They don’t solve crime as they belief the perpetrator is the victim of their own history and is let go to kill someone else… In series 2 they attack the fascist system for allowing such a brutal murder to take place. ---

Must admit, if Bazza’s bizzarre dystopia unfolds, I will be less fearful for our futures. The pinkos and fringes will be looking to out PC each other, but never threatening as they wave their root vegetables at each other in a moderate manner, whilst challenging you that leather is not a suitable choice for footware, especially if manufactured by 3 year olds in less enlighted nations. Personally, I am more worried about the far right and the radicalised, but maybe I am just too pink to see the truth? ---

No, no Ribs. You don’t understand that the far left extremists, with all the power they wield have actually imposed a system of mulitculturalism on us. The fact that no far left body has ever found themselves remotely near close enough to any kind of power (no bad thing, extremists of all variants should be kept well out of power’s way) is neither here nor there.
