@BluntSm0ker It is a fact that most British people have worse teeth than Americans. We don't even need an NHS for our better teeth :)

@empanadas That makes no sense!

Back when the serfs starved to death?
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
It wasn't so great for the poor people who literally died on the streets many from starvation.

@LizOwen The industrial revolution did make the modern world, but until reforms were put in place,factories were dangerous places to work and child labor was rampant.
I don't think I want to live in that era.
I miss the era I grew up in, because I understood it better.

@Justmeraeagain Slave labour in all but name in factories, mines, ships, farms.

No but I do miss the 50s to 80s . I would like to go back at least to that time and give the british government a piece of my mind . MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS . They never seem to learn they go into other countries , destabilize the country and then leave .Everywhere they go they leave a trail of destruction and chaos .

@Rhode57 That's the Tories for you!

@WintaTheAngle You mean that country the brits called the british empire . What a joke and I am not here by your good graces both my parents were born here so I am as british as you I just dont shout about it as its nothing to be proud of . Thanks to the stupid brits we are now reliant on the rest of the world as we have fuck all that we used to have . I remember the days when if you bought british it was good quality now everything is owned by the europeans . We gave away everything we had because bloody do gooders and the politically correct said it was the right thing to do and where did it get us NO WHERE . Where is all our industry its in china or europe . Farming is propped up by government handouts because it no longer pays . It may have passed your notice but white brits are reputed to be the laziest people alive hence why we need immigrants to do the work .

@Rhode57 Sold off by the Tories for a quick buck!
I miss that no-one seems to want to work for anything anymore, they just expect it to be achieved with no effort. First little bump they give up

@LizOwen England is part of the british isles. It is essentially an island. That's how it survived many World Wars, and partially resisted the Roman Empire during ancient Rome.
LizOwen · 41-45, F
@ShadowWolf England has land borders with Wales and Scotland. It did not exist in Roman times: the tribes that created England were still in Germany.

@LizOwen It's still on an island... like how hard is that for you to grasp. England IS ON AND ISLAND. The island existed in Roman times. The British Isle itself. And it made it harder for the Romans to conquer, because there were anglo saxon tribes..... up north. Where do you think the Wall from GOT got it's idea from? It was the wall the Romans built to keep the northern germanic/anglo tribes out! You guys are the white walkers ;)

It's not either way, and it never was. Myth giveth, myth taketh away-. Find your way back home.
LizOwen · 41-45, F
The flag you show is the British flag, not the English. Different entities entirely

Absolutely, those 1800s were the best years 🙄
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
No not especially.

@zerofuks2give That link does bear out that slavery is still going on. According to the article, more of it is forced labor in Chinese sweat shops making apparel than sex slavery, but both go on.
