In addition to what Skua said, it's also worth pointing out that Reform, the main far-right party, led by the repulsive Nigel Farage (Brexiteer, friend of Trump, and so on), also made major gains, and came second in many constituencies. So although Labour has a majority now, things could get very ugly next time around if they don't do a good job.

This is the most Feddit response, I love it

It's true. In English we string words together instead of putting them into one word, so there's not really much difference beyond the odd bit of morphology.

I feel like the Green Dragon probably did pretty well when the Hobbits returned after a long journey. But I'd call that a pub rather than a bar.

The term British Isles is, of course, disputed by the Irish.

But the Red Sea is already full of water

As a person in the UK, I got the exact opposite of what I wanted. I was too young to vote at the time, so I, along with everyone else my age, had no say in our future, whereas my grandad voted for Brexit and died before it actually happened, so he won't have to live with the consequences.

It's also caused me a whole load of problems directly, since I'm a language student and I went to Germany for part of my year abroad. There's so much more bureaucracy, as well as significant fees. So no, the people in the UK are not getting what they wanted at all. Maybe apart from those idiots who went on about "British sovereignty" and rubbish like that.

Same with the UK

I don't think that's exclusive to Americans, not even close

R5: PIE *h~2~o > o (although in Anatolian languages h~2~ is preserved as h), and it also looks like the chemical formula for water H~2~O, and French eau means water

This is 4chan. It was quite possibly written by a white guy wanting to stir people up.
