Someone trying to convince me England is the best country in the world
This isn’t a “HUH WE SUCK BRING ME BACK TO THE SIXTIES HURRHURR BORN IN THE WRONG GENERATION” thing cuz I don’t hate England or anything.
But we’re not the best.
Someone the other day was trying to make the argument that Obama wasn’t a good president because he jeopardised the ‘special relationship’ (that phrase is only ever going to be weird) the US has with Britain, and this was bad because Britain is the US’ “strongest ally”
It was like… reeaaaally though? Are we? I mean we don’t even have that much sway in the EU, we’re basically the awkward friend they invite to dinner out of pity and then we complain about the food and talk about leaving the restaurant, but end up staying and finishing the dinner anyway because we just want to be included.
