Well... this seems to be a blatant shill/slide thread so I will answer the most obvious questions about life in the UK that are bound to be asked ITT.

YES you have to have a licence to watch state authorised televisual propaganda.

YES you are soon going to have to ask the government for permission to watch pornography / masturbate.

YES all self defence weapons are illegal. This is because if you use them you will actually be assaulting the person attempting to assault you.

YES you have to respect the Ahmed. DESU they really aren't all that bad once you get to know them. They are bro tier.

NO You cannot post rude things on the internet here. All you of that post rude stuff on this website live in lawless backwaters with spineless governments that don't stand up for their citizens feelings.

>>
>>135774356

Depends what you're going for. There are nice areas up North which are very affordable (UK house prices are insane). If you've got money- Surrey, Kent, Sussex, bits of Essex.

Avoid London. It's unaffordable to live in unless you want to live in one of the shit areas full of recent third world immigrants. And even then it's expensive. The only people who live in London are people who are from there originally and won't move, immigrants and people who need to live there for work. Everyone else just takes a train in.

Don't get me wrong, London is brilliant (obviously not the shit parts but you would never go there unless you lived there).

It's just so expensive that unless you need to be there, it's silly to live there when you can live in most of Southern England and get into London by train in about an hour.

Free speech doesn't go quite as far in the UK. You can say pretty much whatever you want as long as you don't actually racially abuse people.

Example-
Legal: "I don't like black people"
Illegal: "Fuck niggers"
>>

Yeah I know, I'm still at the stage that I'm living in London rather than commuting and I'm still young, so the magic hasn't worn off yet. When I move out and start a family I know it will

I understand what you're saying. There are some nice areas here. I suppose I'm starting to not recognize a lot of the culture here. Every fucking thing is a cause for outrage. Plus, I've always liked the Brits I've worked with or met.
>>
>>135776217

we have outrage culture here too but it's less intense and it's an american import, not homegrown

example: someone tried to set up "Black Lives Matter UK". They tried to shut down flights at London City airport (planes are racist, I shit you not) and were promptly arrested and imprisoned.

Surprise surprise, they were all rich white dropouts.
>>
This is less of a daily life question and more of a language question but here goes:

What's with the letter "Z"? How come you guys say "zed" instead of "zee"?

Also why is it pronounced ibeetha? Or does that have nothing to do with Brits?
>>
Are there any scene girls anymore in uk
>>
>>135776217
>>135776430

On that note, race is way less of a thing in the UK than it is in the US. The overwhelming majority of Brits don't give a single fuck about race. Social class is a much bigger thing here than in the US.
>>
>>135776430
At least you guys did the right thing.
>>
>>135776481

I think "ibeetha" is the way the Spanish pronounce it, and as it's in Spain...

No idea RE: zed vs zee

>>135776545

probably but I think that trend died pretty hard. Chavs appropriated bits of it.
>>
>>135776546
The race thing is out of control here. Is the social thing there wealth based?
>>
>>135776968

Not as much as it is in the US, it's more upbringing and behaviour. A huge % of that is background-based so yes wealth is a huge factor, but people from poor-as-shit backgrounds have managed to climb very high up in the UK establishment. David Davis (Secretary of State for Leaving the EU) is a good example. The military is generally considered a good route for that, if you commission.
>>
>>135776968
Yeah, of course. Southerners see Northerners as poor savages. Northerners see Southerners as Eton educated toffs.

>>135772531

North-South divide is a whole other thing though, it overlaps a lot with class but not totally

In London you will find whatever you want RE: music, that's the thing about London- it has literally everything. Capital of the world, nowhere except New York is even comparable.

£147 per year, about $200

>How would one bypass it and receive those channels for free?

Use any internet-based TV service like Kodi or whatever

>You guys don't have at least 5 regular analog channels?

The free channels (BBC) are what you're paying for with the TV license. They force you to pay for those channels in order to be able to get the rest, it's how public tv is funded. No TV ads though, which is why there's a fee. It's retarded though and will eventually be scrapped.

>Also, are police nice guys or slaves to the state?

Same as everywhere, varies with the police force and individual, how stressed they are, how dangerous the area you're in is, etc. In London or like Northern Ireland, they might be a bit on edge. In like, Surrey or somewhere, they'll be fine. With that said, rural cops are sometimes the worst as they have no actual shit to deal with.

Manual labourers who have already been at work for hours before they have breakfast

People don't eat that every morning, it would be expensive and no one has the time to prepare it. It's something builders etc get at a cafe.

Literally no one in the modern UK gives a fuck about that, we like that the monarchy is irrelevant (so we can have a democracy) but also comfortingly there. It's not integral to our cultural identity other than that it exists at all.

No one feels worse off because the Queen doesn't intervene in politics, we're free to make our own retarded political decisions. If you want an absolute monarchy, move to Saudi Arabia or some Asian shithole.

The British sovereign meets regularly with the head of government to advise and question them on policy decisions. The current queen has more experience in international affairs than just about any living person, and actively uses that experience to guide major policy decisions, even if she doesn't intervene publicly.

Your views and actual working knowledge of both monarchy in general and monarchy in the U.K. are as retarded and autistic as you are.

Smart guy, we actually don't know what she says to the PM, or the actual level of influence. Instead of delegating through ministers, she could actually sign things. But the bigger point, that you all fail to grasp through your icon worship of QE2 ( I actually like her, too) is that the point of a blood monarch within a parliamentary democracy is to protect the people from the tyranny of parliament. Betty allowed the Labour gov
t to genocide the British people to get more voters to keep a majority. Think about that. A blood monarch would have dissolved parliament to protect its people. A museum monarch would not. THE POINT OF A MONARCH IT TO MAKE THE ONCE IN A LIFETIME TOUGH DECISION for its subjects, and no one else.

£147 per year, but only literal cuckolds pay it. They phased out the analogue channels a few years ago iirc. Can bypass it and just watch for free using online streaming on any of your devices, just tick the box saying 'I have a TV licence'. Don't let the licence checkers in when they come to your door, and say you'll need for them to get a warrant first. Keep curtains closed if your TV is visible from outside.

Police are generally very nice (perhaps too nice - complete liberal arses in many cases). There's videos of them running away from rioters, but generally they're fairly efficient, but generally underfunded. I quite like drum n bass.

I'm down with any line that begins before Hanoverians, though. Give me a mix of Plantagenet, Tudor, and Stuart. I don't care. The important thing is a commitment to British and English BLOOD and having the prerogative to defend it.

It's not fucked at all, British supermarkets offer so much variety that you can eat pretty much whatever you want. International foods are very popular in the UK, I'm going to make a stir fry tonight.

Curry is definitely the national dish, but what a lot of people don't realise is that British-style Curry isn't an indian thing- I'm amazed leftists haven't started getting triggered about it being "cultural appropriation" yet, it's about as far from authentic indian curry as you can get- entirely designed for British tastes.

Curry is a british thing made with indian ingredients (from the empire). Same goes for tea, we don't grow that shit at home.

The thing you need to remember RE: modern British food is that we had an empire, we robbed nice shit and nice recipes wherever we went. Worcestershire sauce, about as British as it gets, was born out of an attempt to recreate something a former colonial governor tried in India.

Blasephemy - I love Worcestershire sauce.

From wiki: "A fermented fish sauce called garum was a stable of greco-roman cuisine and of the Mediterraneous economy of the Roman Empire.... The use of similar fermented anchovy sauces in Europe can be traced back to the 17th century." Lea and Perrins invented their recipe in 1830-1837.

Not poo and definitely not shitskin.

"The origin of the Lea & Perrins recipe is unclear. The packaging originally stated that the sauce came "from the recipe of a nobleman in the county". The company has also claimed that "Lord Marcus Sandys, ex-Governor of Bengal" encountered it while in India with the East India Company in the 1830s, and commissioned the local apothecaries to recreate it."

>So you national cuisine is a derivative of shit skin food? That's all you got? Really?

Since this one seems to really upset many foreigners for some reason - it's true to say that we did eat them, as it was devised during wartime as an affordable and filling snack, but we no longer routinely eat toast sandwiches.

This is Toad in the Hole. Traditional sausages baked in the batter used to make yorkshire pudding (Yorkshire puddings are savoury batter-based puddings served as a side to roast beef).

It might look like shit but it's just high quality sausages served in soft, savoury bread which is baked around the sausage (so it absorbs the pork fat), drowned in meaty gravy.

Curry post because someone was talking shit about British curry.

This is a Chicken Korma, and it is fucking delicious. It's British not Indian, if you want to trigger Indians, talk about this dish and insist it's the best and most authentic curry- they don't even consider it to be curry.

It's chicken pieces served in a thick sauce made from almonds, cashews, coconut and coconut milk, cooked into a "curry gravy" made from onions, tomatoes, etc. It's basically chicken in a creamy savoury coconut sauce, served hot with rice and a side of naan bread (air-filled semi-sweet flatbread, often seasoned with garlic and herbs).

If you haven't eaten this, I feel sorry for you, especially as it's not the world's easiest thing to cook at home unless you already have the sauce (you need to make the curry gravy and you need a special oven to make the naan).

This is not meant as an insult to the Brits, but it's hard to believe a country with weather like yours built so many motorcycles and roadsters back in the middle of the 20th century. Seems like you would have been busy building the world's best umbrellas and galoshes rather than vehicles that expose you to the climate.

British sausage rolls are sublime.
The closest american analogs are variants of the Czech Kolache with (smoked) sausage, and the sausage wrap - literally a thick smoked sausage served on a (flour) tortilla. Granted these are more culturally Southwestern/western.

Certain british foods can and are served in US restaurants though, such as Beef Wellington. You guys are the masters of beef dishes

The weather here isn't as bad as we make it out to be, it's kinda a running meme in British culture to bitch and moan about the weather. It lets us rant about something uncontroversial without offending or upsetting anyone. Not a political correctness thing (it's older than that), it's a politeness thing.

Also yes sometimes it really is shit.

It's just dawned on me why... they *really* wanted to take advantage of good weather when it came about. Also as inventors of industrial rev/machinery in general. Match the Brit psyche for romantic feelings for the outdoors, close living proximity, and the above, with a surplus of WWII flight engineers, and MGs and Triumphs make a lot more sense.

No that's bollocks, you overthought it. The weather isn't as bad as we claim it is, that's just a meme. Lots of other places have way worse weather but you'll never hear them constantly bitch about it, it's just a British thing.

Just don't pay it. The TV licensing police have literally no rights to enter if they come knocking. I suppose they could get a warrant but that's never going to happen, so they just keep sending the same letter every month saying that they know you have a TV with no license (they don't), and it goes straight into the trash.
As long as you don't have a TV on in plain view from the outside, you're golden.
Even if you have a TV, you can just say it's used for a games console or something like that.

It seems to be really mixed. The very few I've dealt with have been sound, but then again that was for minor driving misdemeanours.
I'm sure helping a police officer would be ok, since I think citizen's arrests are still a thing and so it'd just count as that.
With regard to muzzies, the police are fucking pathetic towards them. The muslim sex-slave scandals all over the country (Rotherham is the most well known) are a clear example of this. The country is far too PC and muslims literally get away with anything.

Christianity, in general, has been declining since the 1960s.

The Church of England, in particular, is now rapidly losing churchgoers because the elderly are dying off. To try and attract young people they've gone partially SJW. The last Archbishop of Canterbury advocated sharia law for Muslims. The current Archbishop of Canterbury supports gay marriage, female clergy, Islam, wants us to take in rapefugees, and occasionally he weighs in politcally to attack people like Nigel Farage for wanting less immigration.

Obviously, this doesn't actually attract SJWs because they're atheists anyway and don't think the Church is SJW enough. And on the other hand, it drives away the older people from the Church who have been conservative Christians for decades. The Anglican Church is an institution run by people who clearly do not believe in what is in the Bible.

One particularly poignant example is the Buckingham Palace Garden Party. This is an annual event in which you'll see people dressed to faithfully mimic the high fashion of the nobility and wealthy industrialists of Victorian England. Top hats, tails, and grey trousers for the men. Conservatively hemmed dresses and fascinators for the women. This event takes place in a city where if you wore those clothes on literally any other day of the year, you'd be roundly mocked at best or stoned to death at worse while the locals made off with your valuables.

The event has been held every year for God knows how long, changing little, while the entire world around it has descended into madness. All so a tiny part of society can pretend that the country is what it still was, because we uphold ARE TRADITIONS.

If you want a more easily accessible example: Most of the LOLRANDOM humour of Monty Python only seems LOLRANDOM because people lack the context for it. More often or not, it is mocking the arbitrary, ridiculous, and archaic traditions to which the establishment of the time was clinging even as the society which birthed those traditions collapsed around their ears.

Among nationals I don't know of any growing religious organization. Various Eastern European peoples bring some Catholicism and Orthodoxy with them but slavs in the west tend to be as degenerate as westerners while a bit more racists. I'd imagine Christianity is only really growing among Africans, Islam...

>Estimates in 2009 suggested a total of about 2.4 million Muslims over all the United Kingdom.[112][113] According to Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, the number of Muslims in Britain could be up to 3 million.[114] The vast majority of Muslims in the United Kingdom live in England and Wales: of 1,591,126 Muslims recorded at the 2001 Census, 1,546,626 were living in England and Wales, where they form 3 per cent of the population; 42,557 were living in Scotland, forming 0.8 per cent of the population;[115] and 1,943 were living in Northern Ireland.[116] Between 2001 and 2009 the Muslim population increased roughly 10 times faster than the rest of society.[117]

Met one Romanian in his early 20s with a nice Mercedes, suspected something underhand happened there because he only worked minwage jobs and hadn't been here long. Their ethnic shops are usually selling illegally imported cigarettes, now more blatant because our gov has forced standardized packaging. I don't blame them since our tobacco prices are fucking stupid.

It goes back basically to the end of the 19th century. At this point, atheism was already becoming increasingly common in the urban upper classes throughout Europe - even among high ranking churchmen - but it was still largely kept private. The Anglican church - along with many churches in Europe - suffered a major blow to their moral authority in the first world war, because they shilled HEAVILY for war - even painting it as a holy crusade in many cases. This led to many losing their faith, but church attendance remained high because (a) it was a focal point of the largely homogenous, mostly rural communities that made up most of the country's population and (b) during both world wars the country was still animated by a common purpose that made people stick with the formula of traditions, even if they didn't necessarily believe in them (which as mentioned already in this thread is a major failing of us Bongs).

The precipitous decline from post-WW2 onwards is an outgrowth of what happened earlier in the century. First of all, you had mass dirsuption of traditional communities following the bombing of major population centres, leading many to abandon the places and people they'd grown up with. Secondly, you had a generation coming up (the Boomers) who'd been raised by people who had lost all faith in traditional institutions, and who also moved away from their traditional communities en-masse. Thirdly, any remaining moral authority the establishment had was finally and irrevocably destroyed in scandals like the Profumo affair, which exposed the habits of the upper orders to the public on a large scale for the first time. At that pont, the church largely stopped even trying to assert moral principles (because the game was up, and most of its leadership didn't hold to those principles anyway.)

Mate,mate,mate... If you go around any street corner or into any sort of proud history surrounding the town or city that you are in, you will always see these foul lowlife scum that call themselves "Muslims". If it had been the age of 1940 to 1960 we would have acted out against this travesty and declared it a state of national emergency. If our young white girls are not being raped by some paki called Durkafukin Al-Cuk, you have the usual tracksuit warriors (Chavs) that will hit you up with whatever you need. Or just simply beat you up. But that's the Britain that we need, the one that is being fazed out of existence by all of these fucking Marxists and SJW's encouraging these chimps to come over and live off the state from our tax payers and demanding to squeeze out everything from our very delicate healthcare system. It is incredibly sad to see our warrior nation who have shown people throughout history that you don't fuck with the Union Jack, and the brave Anglo Saxon warriors who forged the foundation of our former great nation. And to think, that if they were to be looking at what they did compared to what these millennials are protesting for, they'd probably like me post on 4Chan how fucked up the world is and how I fantasise about Pepe...

My best guess is that you've forgotten these parts of London exist because you never have a reason to go to them because you're poor.
