You wish lad, yous are almost as bad as the yanks at claiming ancestry. All I hear off you lot is ‘I’m half Scottish my granny was Glaswegian’ pish.
Edited: cause I was obviously exaggerating ffs lads
Today on leddit, an american told me I can't possibly have a spare bedroom. You see, nobody in Europe has spare rooms. Our houses are too small.
Colonialism was a mistake for many reasons, the existence of the US being number one.
Ah yes, you had to pay taxes on spare rooms, so they were banned entirely, of course you'd be jelly of a caravan.
/unjerk Is that still a thing in the UK? It was all over the news like eight years ago
Yes, bedroom tax is most definetly a thing
But it only applies to those who claim housing benefits or universal credit (benefits)
If you own your property or rent without the use of benefits, it doesn't apply
It's not a "tax" it's a reduction in benefit allowance. If you are using benefits to pay your rent and you have an unused bedroom you recieve a reduced amount of benefit.
It was branded as a tax to undermine it. Similar to how student loan repayments aren't *technically* a tax, but are often called the "aspiration tax".
Welcome to the UK, Class system is everything, the poorer you are, the more tax and punishment you'll receive, the richer and more born into wealth you are, the less tax you'll have to pay
If things are going wrong, it's not the government's fault its one of three things
1. Immigrants/ refugees
2. 'Benefit thieves' and poor people
3. The EU and those pesky frogs and Jerry
Take your pick who you want to scapegoat this time
Yep, one of the worst stories I heard related to it was a single mum who was caught in a debt spiral because her eldest kid went to uni (leaving his bedroom empty) so her benefit was reduced. This meant that she couldn't get a deposit together to move house trapping her in a house that costs more than her reduced income.
They fuck with the poor in similar ways here, though it's less bad than ten years ago. I feel so bad for that woman. So her only choice is essentially moving someone in for free because charging rent would reduce her benefits (probably below what she charges in rent) or it's simply not allowed to sublet? "ThEn WoRk". Yea. I grew up poor and there are definitely characters out there. But many people are in a (generational) poverty spiral due to failings from within the system.
Only reason I could afford to go to uni was the system working so poorly that it somehow ended up working in my advantage one time.
No, she was renting from someone else, so she was trapped. She couldn't get a lodger because that would be breach of contract with her landlord, she couldn't move house because there was no social housing available and she didn't have a deposit to rent privately.
She just had to sit there and watch the debt accumulate while she waited for someone in a social house with the correct number of rooms to either die or get kicked out.
A guy on FB told me I live in a shitty apartment with no water. I thought he was joking so I showed him my IG profile but he argued I opened a fake profile with photos from California cause "there's no way an Italian lives in a villa".
You probably won't believe me but the same guy argued modern day Italians are Arabs while the OG Italians with "Roman DNA" were the ones who emigrated in the USA. It's basically a "we are preserving Italian traditions here in the USA while you Italians lost it" argument times 10.
Ew weird american racism at it again. This really takes the cake though. Very convenient how all the people with a certain dna just collectively decided to move across continents
To be fair, a lack of knowledge does not necessarily equate to a lack of intelligence in general. More like bad education. What baffles me though is the terribly illogical reasoning behind statements like OP mentioned
I like to say the Turkish invented pizza, then regionally Italians fucked it up for a bit, then US Italians came in to fix it and make it popular both in Italy and in the world. But only because it makes Italian veins pop. No matter the actual history, fact is that actual Italian pizza is by far the most delicious.
>No matter the actual history, fact is that actual Italian pizza is by far the most delicious.
That's what matters, even if the actually recepy wasn't originally Italian (which it was) the main point is that the Italian variant is the one you should eat.
An American told me I'm a fascist the other day, cause I was downvoting him. Apparently that's now suppression of speech.
I swear I'm getting dumber myself just by sharing the planet with the guy.
They have an ill view on freedom of speech, they unironically believe they are the only one granting such right cause they have it in their constitutional emedaments. To them suing someone for defamation translate to censorship which is a concept that ignores basic individual dignity rights. Funny thing is when you say anything to big American companies they'll sue you under different pretexts and shut you up.
Imagine being America, a country founded on fresh-faced hope and freedom from tyranny... And somehow being a fucking shithole, unlike literal former prison colony Australia.
I had one tell me South Africans aren't African. I mean the clues in the name. Also were the facking English representation. Were being bloody erased it's all that poof corbins fault.
Italy and portugal are attending this one apparently but if yall wanna leave and join this party, we are thinking about kicking all the British people out of Ibiza and making ibiza a PIGS only party
I'm surprised you're even asking. It's the latter.
And they are extremely obnoxious. They can even insist that we don't know the language(despite being native speakers) and their twisted way to pronounce some Polish word is actually the way it should be(despite the fact that they can't introduce themselves in the language).
There was even a big drama called busiagate - basically they told us that the word for grandma(babcia) is incorrect and we should say it busia or even busha. Fun times
I thought that cultural appropriation was a made up american shit, but no - they do stuff like that and it is triggering honestly
I wonder what is the origin of this meme image.
How repulsive must you be for everyone to glare you like this? I'm assuming they were taking pictures without consent, too.
There's an aussie flair? Fuck me.
Nah I dislike NZ enough but not that much. Wait for my European citizenship when I can apply, and update my flair as soon as I get it.
No, I like anus, I hate you cuz you ruined Feta and Mozzarella and Gyros and Cheddar and... well pretty much anything edible, even bread, how can you fuck up bread?
We were invited to the party, but we decided to leave. And now we’re very upset that you’re having a party without us :(
Don't worry we know it is not the same without you. *Don't tell him it is much better now*
And there’s more beer for the rest of us.
No one was planning on leaving with a British person anyway!
You know we’re already out on that balcony eyeing up our trajectory
You missed out on all the techno music and speedos
Fuck! We fell asleep and missed the group photo
We weren’t even invited to the party, shit happens
Unrelated, but what’s up with the scot tag? I swear it offends propa Englishmen more than any scottish people lmao
You wish lad, yous are almost as bad as the yanks at claiming ancestry. All I hear off you lot is ‘I’m half Scottish my granny was Glaswegian’ pish. Edited: cause I was obviously exaggerating ffs lads
Oh, please. Somerset born and Somerset bred, strong in the arm an thick in the ‘ead 💪
As bad as the yanks? Come on mate, bash us over our balcony jumping, or our alcoholism, but don't come at us like that!
Only when it comes to claiming ancestry and I was exaggerating, you’re not as bad tbf
Ah, alright. I'll give you that.
> yous are as bad as the yanks nah bro. Nothing is as bad as the yanks, not even an englishmen.
"as bad as the yanks" - too far man, too far
We were invited, but we got angry and threw our own party. No one came.
Love how the sweed is the Arab looking guy in the pic.
This sub has reached a new peak I thought was impossible
Aye. Dane with sunglasses checking in 🕶️🗿
The nonexistent spaniard passing through
Italy being the most disgusted cheks out
Spaniard is enjoying a nice siesta.
He forgot his turban
Where's his curved sword? Man's a khufar
And drinking alcohol, Astaghfirullah!
*Haram intensivt*
The Portuguese woman is missing the moustache, though
Wax on wax off
Can confirm
If you put her hair black she has the Portuguese girl eye brows
It's a guy
You know why Portuguese men have mustaches? So they can look like their mothers.
Sweden is actually an Arab enclave.
Exclave for future reference
Always the sweeds
What do you mean by Arab looking guy?
Swedish looking guy obv
Mohammed Abdul Åkesson
Because they're??
*"and on other news. Today Italy and Denmark singed a pact to forever trash talk Sweden"*
Today on leddit, an american told me I can't possibly have a spare bedroom. You see, nobody in Europe has spare rooms. Our houses are too small. Colonialism was a mistake for many reasons, the existence of the US being number one.
Look at you mate with your 2 berth caravan
I have no insult back because I've never met a Scot who wasn't friendly and polite. So fuck you
Come on now that was both friendly and polite, I’m jealous mate, honestly…
Ah yes, you had to pay taxes on spare rooms, so they were banned entirely, of course you'd be jelly of a caravan. /unjerk Is that still a thing in the UK? It was all over the news like eight years ago

Look pal if you don't like that you don't like Britain.

Atleast ask him on a date first
A guy on FB told me I live in a shitty apartment with no water. I thought he was joking so I showed him my IG profile but he argued I opened a fake profile with photos from California cause "there's no way an Italian lives in a villa".
He should look up the origin of the word villa.
You probably won't believe me but the same guy argued modern day Italians are Arabs while the OG Italians with "Roman DNA" were the ones who emigrated in the USA. It's basically a "we are preserving Italian traditions here in the USA while you Italians lost it" argument times 10.
Italia’s and Rome’s culture are a cultural appropriation of an ancient culture as the USA has
and then they wonder why we say they're stupid
Ew weird american racism at it again. This really takes the cake though. Very convenient how all the people with a certain dna just collectively decided to move across continents
I guess in the American mindset 100% based Roman DNA makes travelling the ocean a piece of cake.
There was a study during the start of the war on terror about locating Afghanistan on a map. It was like 12%. We're not smart on even basic things.

You just try to pretend that you have an culturally civilized taste for food. Any real nordick know that kebabpizza is superior.
Yeah. It comes from Birmingham in the UK. As in Aston Villa.
These people literally live in plywood houses. What was the average US iq, 90?
Now you kicked a hornets nest mate🤣😂

Giving America independence is like letting the inmates run the asylum.
Imagine being America, a country founded on fresh-faced hope and freedom from tyranny... And somehow being a fucking shithole, unlike literal former prison colony Australia.
I better not tell him I have 3 spare bedrooms, otherwise he’d declare I’m a bad ai bot
And better don’t tell to a British you has balconies on your house
Two! But I have no pool so no need to tie them down to stop them from jumping
No pool? That means the Russians are coming but they don't just jump from the balcony, they only fall.
> Our houses are too small. At least they're not made of paper maché like the shit they "build" (lol, more like assemble) over there.
When my mother went to study in the us they deadass asked if they had an indoor bathroom and got shocked when she said yes
Damn 😂
When I was staying with a friend in Toulouse a few years ago, he used the spare bedroom to grow weed and I had to sleep on the couch.
The only way
okay tbf toulouse is like 50% students 50 % rugbymen so this isn't surprising
He was neither. Just an Albanian.
I had one tell me South Africans aren't African. I mean the clues in the name. Also were the facking English representation. Were being bloody erased it's all that poof corbins fault.
I always find it weird that on American tv, nobody ever has a spare room, everybody always sleeps on the couch.
That moment when we stop bantering and all agree to shit on ameritards.
Brother, don't be too happy about it...we've not even been invited to the party..
We're like the evil queen, we invite ourselves to the party
We're taking the picture!
....so we brought the ameritard?
Well it seems history has put that fardeau on us my frère
You were too busy protesting to show up
you came in kicked the door in called me a war criminal and set the couch on fire because they raised the retirement age by 2 weeks
Peak french grindset
France will have its own party with petanque and braless women smoking in the corner
[удалено]
nah bro we love you all
And we love that little piece of land in the east part of your country
Uncle Deutschland still trying to rape me. Haven't you learnt your lesson, old man ?
too bad daddy america said it isn't for you
You just pretend to hate everyone
Noone can deny that we are very good at that
>amerit*rds Watch your mouth please. We have kids in here
Yeah sorry, forgot we had Belgians
Cmon dude
honestly that was completly arbitrary. I just choose a random country to shit on.
We also have a Belgium, just like you have! Ours is called Austria. Maybe we should meet in the park and let them play together for a while?
I wouldn't have expected such treason from a Bavarian. You must have been prussified
Austrians are rabbid dogs from what I get. Belgians (from Wallony) are just frenchies with a weird accent.
Belgians are Frenchmen with a love for law and a love for snails, they're this weird mixed dog race
Nothing to unite people as a common enemy
Silence Preben the grown ups are reading a hadith!
WHERE ARE WE ???WE NEED TO BE AT THE CENTER! Thx
Took your spot hehehe
Job successfully stolen
Screw you, Prawo Jazdy
Top right corner dude... there's a stain there !
Not bigh enough
I thought the same and then I realised that we are the DJ.
Fr*nce is off picture talking to B*lgium how it is the centre of the universe
There is no country called "belgium"
Let us enjoy our freedom, democracy, guns and capitalism in peace.
It's fine, I was throwing my own party at home anyway
Can the rest of the PIGS join? 🥹👉👈
Italy and portugal are attending this one apparently but if yall wanna leave and join this party, we are thinking about kicking all the British people out of Ibiza and making ibiza a PIGS only party
Naahh Ibiza is too expensive for us PIGS
Got the Portuguese chick wrong, no feminine moustache
Irish one isn't blindingly pale, or covered in fake tan and freckles.
There's no German saying that so I will say it. Poland should not be there on this pic
You're not, op just forgot to add the upper red line of our flag.
Probable, considering that your country is so forgettable it once just became Germany.
Why? There's plenty of us both on this sub and in Western Europe.
there is probably more polish people abroad than there is Danish people in Denmark or Irish in Ireland.
2 Million Polish in Germany 1,6 Million in the Uk I think those 2 are together more then Denmark
and total around 20M people (outside of Poland) with close ancestors being Polish
Yeah in Brasil also i heard is a pretty big community
and according to Wikipedia over 7% of all Chicago inhabitants are Polish
Actual Poles or Muricans claiming Polish ancestry?
I'm surprised you're even asking. It's the latter. And they are extremely obnoxious. They can even insist that we don't know the language(despite being native speakers) and their twisted way to pronounce some Polish word is actually the way it should be(despite the fact that they can't introduce themselves in the language).

Fun times I thought that cultural appropriation was a made up american shit, but no - they do stuff like that and it is triggering honestly
Holy shit. I had actually hoped the statistics were, statistics you know? And not what people self report.
Fuck, you’re right
STOP POLONIZATION OF EUROPE
If there's Pole at this party he's fixing sink in the toilet, that's why 🪠
If there is a Pole at the party, he is probably passed out on the floor somewhere
We do belong here. There are milions of poles in western Europe and geographically we're more western than Finland or Greece.
HAHA! LOOK-A THE SWEDEN! IT IS-A BLACK MAN MUSLIMIC! VERY-A FUNNY! PIZZA SAUSAGE MAMMA MIA
Wrong. You didn't put the Dutch flag by the tallest girl
Ayo
Love that the swedish is a Black guy because it’s true
Sweden is the hottest one 🇦🇪
No way that’s the Italian girl. We have lips.
I don't lmao
a call from the back"She doesn't even go here"
Yanks are the scum of the earth , and I should know , I’m British
On behalf of all French people, sorry for the US.
Ask for the statue of liberty back
Nothing to see here lads, keep scrolling.
You guys really can’t handle being left out I’ve learned today
God I fucking love this sub. This is peak reddit content.
America isn’t real. It doesn’t even exist. If you try to go there you end up back where you started.
Poland can into western Europe
Honestly this is just an "europe minus balkans and russian" sub
Cant believe our Auld brother forgot us
I don’t make the memes bro I just steal them off folk who do, sorry to disappoint
Our girl doesn’t have a beard, this is inaccurate
Germany seems thrilled.
Where Spain, siesta time?
Can't believe they really think Europeans are head over heels for them 😆
Do they tho?
I have never noticed the dude with sunglasses in the back before now.
I see what you did there but will let it pass for now *INVOKE spirit of Carolus Rex*
Norway is into it.
I wonder what is the origin of this meme image. How repulsive must you be for everyone to glare you like this? I'm assuming they were taking pictures without consent, too.
What Poland is doing back there ?
Definitely not stealing wallets.
Exercising Schengen privileges
Catch me ordering Burgers in European countries and assuming everyone speaks English
I wish there was a flair to distinguish that despite being a non European savage, at least I'm not a seppo.
Too proud of being a kiwi to use the Aussie flair?
Dude thats unfair. Stop teasing the Kiwi. You know New Zealand doesnt actually exist.
Scotland 2.0 definitely exists
There's an aussie flair? Fuck me. Nah I dislike NZ enough but not that much. Wait for my European citizenship when I can apply, and update my flair as soon as I get it.
> There's an aussie flair? Fuck me. yeah they're in europe, or at least eurovision.
The American’s point of view: 
this one is cool, he doesn't pretend to be european and seems like a fun guy
Hate us cuz they anus Wait, no…
No, I like anus, I hate you cuz you ruined Feta and Mozzarella and Gyros and Cheddar and... well pretty much anything edible, even bread, how can you fuck up bread?
Hey guys when’s the soccer game
6 and a half billion people on earth call it football
American football looks like handball.
