There were originally called Miryam and Yosef, which got translated into Greek as Mariam and Iosipos, then into Latin as Maria and Iosephus, then eventually into English as Mary and Joseph.

We did sacrifice the pagentry & history the country was known for by allowing the commission of regicide to achieve it. Also, "Republics are so dull & uninspiring even a Puritan resorted to copying the extravagance of a Coronation" is not the best argument on aesthetics either.

I think the British people who actually live in Britain know more about who care for them than people who aren't even prepared to live here.

It is even weirder in hindsight how much Obama's win changed American culture, considering just months prior Disney made a show where a Black guy could only live in the White House if he were the cook.

Yes, it does. Rhodesia under Smith was literally orders of magnitude better during a war and under successive embargoes than Zimbabwe is on a good day.

It used to be illegal in many countries until the late 1990s in part because it was seen as ethically contentious as abortion. Australia didn't even legalise it until the 2000s. And America's practices of commercial surrogacy are still outright banned in most of the West.

And... she was prosecuted, tried, and punished for her crimes. She wasn't let off for being a woman. If anything, you're proving that White people are the only group who can't get away with things.
Yeah, it's over Reformbros.

It says something when only 8,000 people from France can change our genetics, language, and government almost overnight, but 1,000,000 in a year from an entirely different continents are expected to integrate thanks to some red, white, and blue cloth.

Michael Foot was genuinely unpopular, not helped by members of his own party, plus people had had 30 years of the Attlee experiment to judge whether it was worth getting rid of Thatcher over it. The Falklands victory was just an added bonus in that regard.

Wyoming having 2 Senators is not the reason why Congress can't function. Australia has 2 Senators from the Northern Territory where no-one but three Aborigines, a Kangaroo, and a White man in a shed live, and the Australian Parliament still legislates.

It's not hatred of the elderly, it's frustration with old age being used as an excuse by a section of society that isn't pulling its weight and whose sense of entitlement is being enabled and satisfied in a way that wouldn't wash for any other group.
Disgusting, Indi Gregory was murdered by the British State today.
I am apoplectic that she never got a chance to live and that the State decided she had none.
My prayers go out to her and her parents tonight.

When I was 13 and my Dad's mate dropped us off home once and told us you can tell where Muslims live because they have huge iron front gates, and I've never be able to not notice it since.

Jesus came from Latin Iesus, from Greek Iesous, from Hebrew Yeshua.
Elizabeth from the Greek Elisavet from the Hebrew Elysheba.

The Founding Fathers only believed in religious freedom insofar as they didn't want the Federal Government involved in it, but had little to no qualms with what the States did, up to and including their own established religions for the first 60 years of federation.
Gay "conservatives" slowly realising that being a conservative means something more than low taxes and not being a communist is my favourite letter of the alphabet this year.
Shame he spent his entire adult life helping to destroy the one thing that kept Islam at bay in the West, all because his intellect couldn't fathom apples from oranges.

A rare example of Disney trying something different with 2-d animation that was entirely unlike their previous work, and actually pulling it off.
This would be a Pixar film, with Roger's "mate" being a gay mixed-race man, if this were first made in 2021.

Maybe the fact we voted for lowering immigration in every general election since 1992 and every government elected doing the exact opposite might have had something to do with it.

It's actually scary how fast support for gay marriage changed almost overnight looking back.
Even in 2009-12 you still had "Best I can do is civil unions" from Democrats and the Labour Party.

The English little girl was killed - "in her best interests" - by a healthcare and legal system steeped in barbaric euthanasia culture, which refused to even attempt the different clinical proposal of the Bambino Gesรน Hospital in Rome, suffocating
I literally had to go anonymous on here because I said women look better in skirts than in trousers and it pissed off like half of the world's communists.
They're explicitly engaging in partisan historical revisionism in which the largely irrelevant 'windrush generation' are subversively and falsely redefined as key figures in British history in order to legitimate mass ethnic replacement in contemporary Britain.
@AnOldCobbah
His greatest mistake was holding a referendum in 1969 and agreeing to resign when he lost it.
Should have just crowned himself King of the House De Gaulle in 1968 and reclassified West Germany as part of Algeria.

Imagine if Iran had done this, they'd rival Russia and China for second superpower status, instead of rivalling them in economics and world war paranoia.

Americans have only 435 *FEDERAL* Representatives, because it has a federal system where the Congress is only meant to be allowed to about 15 things.
Everything else is done by State legislators, of which there are just over 7 THOUSAND.
Lol!:
National 41.52%
Labour 26.19%
Green 10.30%
ACT Party 9.17%
New Zealand First 6.10%
Mฤori Party 2.42%
Labour has lost half their party votes from 2020!
Lowest since 2014.

Barbara Castle was from the same area as her and she didn't sound or talk like this because, unlike Rayner, she actually talked properly and had functioning braincells.

You're missing the point. The abolition WAS that destruction of an historical tie.
And the reason he had to become "Lord Protector" precisely even Cromwell realised we still needed a King even if he had just fought a war to abolish and kill one.

It should also only have been a stop-gap measure while British subjects in Commonwealth realms receive new citizenships and it should never have been offered to Commonwealth republics. It should have been binned off in the 1960s at the latest.
Good news and bad news.
Bad news: My grandmother broke her leg last night, so we've had to postpone Christmas celebrations.
Good news: She's having her operation today, so she can hopefully recover over the rest of the holiday.
Prayers and thoughts much appreciated.

The British would have taken it, kept it in pristine condition for 90 years, be forced to give it back to Germany out of "solidarity with our future EU partners", just for it to be smashed to pieces by the German equivalent of Just Stop Oil protestors.

If you are voting for the first time, you were born in 2006, which means you weren't even in primary school when the last Labour government were in power.
1. We're literally in the middle of a mass-migration crisis.
2. Foodbanks are prevelant and food is getting more expensive.
3. Stabbings, shootings, and attacks on children have increasingly become commonplace.
4. We've just come out of a global pandemic.
Crisis, what crisis?
There are no barbarians at the gate, your chances of starvation are less than zero, the chances of any of any of your children dying is negligible, your chances dying of disease is negligible, youโve never been too hot or cold to sleep. Get a hold of yourself.

Socialists meeting actual poor and working-class people and finding out they all support the things they despise will never stop being funny.
