Should have gone with the good old 'yo mama'.

The British ruling class is more interested in maintaining their own power than in supporting Israel. Israel isn't their military base, and they want good relations at least with the ruling classes of the Gulf states. If pushed too hard, there is a possibility that they will throw Israel under the bus to save their own skins. I'm not betting on it happening, but Harmer & Co. are spineless cowards, so anything is possible.

Muslims in the ruling class.

We should do what works. Entryism into Harmer's government would, in general, be a waste of time. Getting the BBC to correct this particular mistake might work, as (1) the UK has a sizeable elite Muslim population, (2) the UK, unlike the US, needs to maintain good relations with oil producers, and (3) criticising Israel and supporting Palestine is therefore much more 'acceptable'.

It's a public service. It needs to be corrected, not abandoned.

The coup is when you get the army and industry onboard to the point you aren't arrested as soon as you go to bed after making that speech.

That's a successful coup. But even an unsuccessful coup can get a lot of people killed. That's my concern. I'm not American; I don't care who sits in the White House.

Real galaxy brain take.

There's already Essex, Middlesex, Sussex and Wessex, so all we need is a Norssex to ceate Sexland.

While the Latin mass bollocks is gone, Catholics are still expected to know a few Latin words, and Luce = light is one of them. So any conspiracy theorist who stirs shit over this can be safely dismissed as an ignoramus.

Luce = light, Lucifer = light bearer (his job before he rebelled)

There are only so many Latin words; at some point they've to use some word that looks like some other word.

Should I just copy my wife?

Safest option. Also please call it football, not s*****.

Football is serious business. Wearing the wrong team jersey can get you anything from angry looks to shoves. Listen to your wife.

In general, most football fans are working class, but some are racist or otherwise bigoted. Liverpool and Arsenal have probably the best fanbases among the big clubs.
