Now try explaining the difference between U. K, Britain, Great Britain and why wales isn't technically a country. It's easier to explain quantum physics to a dog.
I guess when you put Britain and Great Britian you meant Britian and the British Commonwealth since Britian and Great Britian are the same thing but its really that complicated?
The British Commonwealth is a political body made up of mostly ex British colonies. Like the UN its made up of sovereign states.
Britian or Great Britain is the lsland that has England, Scotland and Wales on it.
The UK is Britian and Northern Ireland.
I understand people not getting it from outside but I wouldn't call it complicated.
Great work! Now I think I need to make a mytake similar to yours on India. There are a LOT of myths about us. Whenever I get some time I'll do it. Thanks for mythbusters.
And no matter where you live in the UK you could get attacked, you could be 16yr old virgin or 40yr old mother of two and some creepy perv could easily take advantage of you. It just who crime show pretary the heavier crime cities.
I've never really thought many of these and like from what I've seen I'm far more comfortable walking alone in England then here lol but yh it's weird I think it's just a product of popculture
There not that safe last time I was in London some asshole punched me in head and took my beer away you guy should really be nicer to you commonwealth cousin
Let me tell you some facts then 1. Britain is built by stollen wealth from India so basically they are robbers. 2. They refuse to give back the Kohinoor diamond they stole from India 3. They are the reason Indians and Pakistani hate each other
The people today? I didn't agree with what the Empire had done, when I learned about it.
The majority of Indian and Pakistani people don't "hate" each other either surely, I've met many Indians and Pakistanis online who have no problem with each other. It's ones like Modi creating divide.
i agree their agenda is pretty fucked up and dumb about being hindu nationalism but just because they say that in public doesn't mean India is becoming hindu nationalist. The government cannot act above the citizens of India that's how our democracy works. Muslim population of India is growing faster than hindu so i don't see any hindu nationalism coming. But Pakistani government is more responsible for the hate from India to be honest because they never cared about the terrorists that were terrorising India even though they were far within their reach
See now you do you get it? Just like the Indian public don't condone Hindu nationalism, many in the British public once they learn- don't condone what the Empire did.
What about when Pakistan gave the Indian fighter pilot back? What about how Imran Khan invited Manmahon Singh over to do his pilgrimage in Pakistan? Imran Khan is inviting Sikhs over to Pakistan.
He's trying to make peace, yet Modi's whole campaign was based off of: "Teaching Pakistan a lesson" When Imran Khan clearly wants to extend the olive branch.
Lol so now you are defending the empire even if you think you are British they probably were not that kind to your ancestors
And what about the time when Pakistan refused to take any action against Hafiz Saeed And it was quite clear with terrorist group did the 26/11 attacks but Pakistan never took action against them. And at the end they want Kashmir by force and are always taking about war which was quite evident from the speech of Imran Khan at the UN So people will support modi if he stands up against Pakistan because they don't want to be silent anymore But i myself am not a modi supporter though
And my family speak Mirpuri- and I can barely speak it- just little phrases lol, but I'm trying my best to learn😂I can understand it better than I can speak it tho😂
In War more is generally better and Uk has less army budget than India also
Oh so you are from Azad J&K😯 That's a disputed part so you should refer yourself as a kashmiri than a Pakistani 😛 lol no offense though but you could have been part of India
I don't agree with the curfew in Kashmir in the slightest. But I think people should be free to celebrate their celebrations. Modi and his wicked ways don't speak for all of Hinduism surely.
yeah that is true voting should be given to people But the problem is if Kashmir chooses to be a sovereign state then Pakistan will try to conquer it as had happened after Independence and India will probably oppose that which will result in war
By the way you are also Kashmiri what will be your vote?
but hypothetically if you get a vote considering your lineage then what would your vote?
i mean Imran Khan does what people of Pakistan would want him to do that's how democracies work. And most people in Pakistan seem to take whole of Kashmir
Indians don't trust Pakistan and Imran Khan that's just simple. After Pulwama attack there was not much reaction from Imran Khan and his government so nobody in India trusts him now
Do you think J&K can sustain on its own i mean to be a country you need a solid infrastructure, proper governance and a good economy that the state does not have because it's development has been hindered by the constant terrorism and unrest in the region. It can develop much more being a part of India that's why article had to be revoked because it was making it separate from rest of India.
he is the leader of a terrorist group 🤦🏻♂️ not only the leader why is these people even walking free. The only job of terrorists is to kill people. If India wants a terrorist out of Pakistan shouldn't they help India if they are so concerned with friendship
Lol as if banning in Pakistan means something Shouldn't they be hanged already
What do you mean by "Asian people" I think you mean subcontinental or south Asian. Just FYI when you say Asian the rest of the world other than England thinks of Koreans, Chinese, Thais, Japanese, Vietnamese etc.

Lol @ posh accents. I'm a big Red Dwarf fan, and from the US, so Dave Lister is fairly hard to understand at first listen. That Scouse is awesome
Hahahaha xD
Oh, cool, an American who likes Red Dwarf :D
You went to St. Trinians? No wonder you're safe on the streets, everybody's afraid of you! :)
Nice take.
Lol, what's St Trinians xD
An all-girls public school for delinquents, from the 1940's-50's cartoons and films. These girls are from the 21st century reboot...
(If you watch the originals, be prepared for a hint of 1950's racism in at least one film.)
So, the English are no longer "in awe" at the sight of royalty?

Oh cool- I'm British Pakistani. :)
Wow! Assalamualaikum
Its how tv and film pretray people from the UK. I'm about 40mins from London I dont sound posh or went to a posh school.
Lol tell me about it, the women in these classy dresses, men in suits with posh accents.
And in reality I'm sat here my hair back, tracksuit bottoms, a jumper and addidas trainers lol
And no matter where you live in the UK you could get attacked, you could be 16yr old virgin or 40yr old mother of two and some creepy perv could easily take advantage of you. It just who crime show pretary the heavier crime cities.

@loolsoll yes why?
This is what I think of when England comes to mind. 😂

There not that safe last time I was in London some asshole punched me in head and took my beer away you guy should really be nicer to you commonwealth cousin
Hmmm... Well, I had friends who went on a school trip to London- they were perfectly safe.
Let me tell you some facts then
1. Britain is built by stollen wealth from India so basically they are robbers.
2. They refuse to give back the Kohinoor diamond they stole from India
3. They are the reason Indians and Pakistani hate each other
The British people have done nothing. While I agree about the Empire, the people today have done nothing.
British people supported the empire to fullest
The people today? I didn't agree with what the Empire had done, when I learned about it.
The majority of Indian and Pakistani people don't "hate" each other either surely, I've met many Indians and Pakistanis online who have no problem with each other. It's ones like Modi creating divide.
The people today think empire was great and all and say they helped those countries by opresing them because they helped them civilise
Lol Modi isn't creating any divide how can you say that?
is he even capable of creating any divide?
By being part of a "Hindu Nationalist" government- that's a divide in itself between religions.
Why does it have to be "nationalist" anything? Why can't it just be India?
i agree their agenda is pretty fucked up and dumb about being hindu nationalism
but just because they say that in public doesn't mean India is becoming hindu nationalist. The government cannot act above the citizens of India that's how our democracy works.
Muslim population of India is growing faster than hindu so i don't see any hindu nationalism coming.
But Pakistani government is more responsible for the hate from India to be honest because they never cared about the terrorists that were terrorising India even though they were far within their reach

So people will support modi if he stands up against Pakistan because they don't want to be silent anymore
But i myself am not a modi supporter though
Can you read?
I'm not supporting the Empire and all I'm saying is- lots of Brits won't either.
oh sorry I thought condone meant something else
but who cares about Britain any way in todays world. Britain is losing its significance
You were probably thinking of the similar term "condemn" but don't worry about it, people get words mixed up all the time. :)
"Britain is losing significance" If BoJo stays PM then I can see that happening.
Tell India to get an army and get it
yes lol i am probably not good as you in English 😅 it's not first language u know and you are actually a great writer with great vocabulary
Lol that guy looks like British version of Donald Trump
Irony is India actually has bigger and powerful army than UK🤔
I disagree with the statement about the army- but whatever floats your boat.
And yeah, English is my first language.😂
it's actually true India has more soldiers and more artilleries
Can u understand urdu?
More doesn't mean better.
And my family speak Mirpuri- and I can barely speak it- just little phrases lol, but I'm trying my best to learn😂I can understand it better than I can speak it tho😂
The entire country of India could be taken out with 3 drones
In War more is generally better
and Uk has less army budget than India also
Oh so you are from Azad J&K😯
That's a disputed part so you should refer yourself as a kashmiri than a Pakistani 😛 lol no offense though but you could have been part of India
If a big army is inefficient- it could actually be worse.
And I'm from Azad Kashmir- the Pakistani side of Kashmir so while yes, I am Kashmiri, I also refer to myself as Pakistani.
lol it's pretty efficient you can check military powers comparison
i have a question
What do you think is the major difference between a Indian and Pakistani other than religion
Nothing really.
lol one Pakistani girl on this site blocked me for celebrating Diwali while there was curfew in Kashmir
I don't agree with the curfew in Kashmir in the slightest. But I think people should be free to celebrate their celebrations. Modi and his wicked ways don't speak for all of Hinduism surely.
you probably know her name is shezadi here
Hindus and Muslims live peacefully in India as much i have seen
But what Modi is doing is completely wrong- you know that right?
And don't worry, she blocked me too😂
curfew is wrong but making J&K union territory is right
I personally think the vote should been given to the Kashmiri people- whether they want to become and independent state or not.
Like how in 2015, Scotland had an independence referendum on whether they wanted to remain as apart of the UK or leave the UK and just be "Scotland".
yeah that is true voting should be given to people
But the problem is if Kashmir chooses to be a sovereign state then Pakistan will try to conquer it as had happened after Independence and India will probably oppose that which will result in war
By the way you are also Kashmiri what will be your vote?
Nah, I won't get a vote because I live in the UK.
And Imran Khan isn't going to try and take over- he just wants peace.
but hypothetically if you get a vote considering your lineage then what would your vote?
i mean Imran Khan does what people of Pakistan would want him to do that's how democracies work. And most people in Pakistan seem to take whole of Kashmir
*seem to be wanting to
Imran Khan said that he believes both sides of Kashmir should have a vote on whether they want to remain independent or not.
As for my vote, if I was in JK I would vote for independence.
Indians don't trust Pakistan and Imran Khan that's just simple. After Pulwama attack there was not much reaction from Imran Khan and his government so nobody in India trusts him now
Do you think J&K can sustain on its own i mean to be a country you need a solid infrastructure, proper governance and a good economy that the state does not have because it's development has been hindered by the constant terrorism and unrest in the region. It can develop much more being a part of India that's why article had to be revoked because it was making it separate from rest of India.
But what proof is there actually to say that Pakistan had anything to do with that attack?
the terrorist organization based in Pakistan claimed for being the one behind it
They did? Can you send me a source stating so?
Because according to my source India blamed Pakistan for the attack and Pakistan banned this terrorist group in 2002.
https://www.BBC.com/news/world-asia-47249982
Pakistan said their is no proof against Hafiz Saeed to extradite him to India
I mean he is a terrorist what else proof they need why is he even alive
The group themselves claimed responsibility- but has the individual?
What proof is there to suggest the individual had done anything? And this group has been banned from Pakistan since 2002.
he is the leader of a terrorist group 🤦🏻♂️ not only the leader why is these people even walking free. The only job of terrorists is to kill people.
If India wants a terrorist out of Pakistan shouldn't they help India if they are so concerned with friendship
Lol as if banning in Pakistan means something
Shouldn't they be hanged already
Sorry you confused me for a minute. I thought you were referring to something else, I apologise.
Hafiz Saeed has been arrested by Imran Khan's government in Pakistan. That's a good thing he has been arrested.
they know what's the right thing to do extradite him to India and let him be prosecuted for all the attacks and that includes 2008 Mumbai attacks also
but i don't think they will do that ever
That's what they arrested him in Pakistan for the 2008 Mumbai attacks. He's behind bars.
Do you really think that's justice for terrorism
he is probably enjoying in prison because some people in Pakistan treat him as a hero
Locking up terrorists? I think that's justice because death is just an easy escape, so they can't truly face what they've done.
most Indians dont like that they want him dead
Indians and Pakistanis hate each other for religious reasons. And they both hate the English because we stopped them fighting.
this is very, very helpful. i was thinking of British settings for one of my novels, thank goodness somebody corrected it😅
Lol always happy to help! If you've got any questions about Britain- hit me up.
Also, what did you have to correct? :)
the first and third myth, I thought those were true.
What do you mean by "Asian people" I think you mean subcontinental or south Asian.
Just FYI when you say Asian the rest of the world other than England thinks of Koreans, Chinese, Thais, Japanese, Vietnamese etc.
I had to write a report about poverty amongst school age children in Britain and another about obesity.
Like everywhere Britain has problems.
And I wrote about poverty in this MT.
Fake post, only Americans have capri-suns you almost had me fooled
Nah we have Capri-Suns in Britain too believe it or not lol
You forgot Cornwall, Mercia, Northumberland and Wessex which are all rightfully independent nations in England
Are they? I had no clue lol- some of those places I ain't even heard of.
Scotland is in Great Britain so why would it be wrong to say a scotish actor is british?
That's my point.
Some people think British only means "English".
I feel that you made up these stereotypes, haven't heard a single one of these, ever. Who was the village idiot you got these from?
I haven't made them up I swear- basically it's been throughout my online travels on various websites- trust me, they're real😂
"Obviously, we don't go out alone at night and stuff" This is the most important line of the whole mytake for me.
Hmm...
The Welsh don't like the English according to Torchwood.
The Welsh hate anyone who isn't Welsh. Don't worry about it.
The UK is a great place , lot of history behind that island.
Very true :)
I'm American but I still love history, the history of Europe especially UK
Well, it's nice to take interest in other parts of the world :)
For sure
