Fucking hell what now
Oh okay
This new presidential immunity ruling has gone too far already. π€
The UK is a monarchy unlike the US... wait.
Yeah, but unlike the US, the UK doesn't have a constitution. Oh, wait.
The "Uk DoEsN't HaVe A CoNsTiTuTiOn" thing is so hilarious somehow, really gives off American civil religion vibes.
Why is it so ridiculous to you?
The UK using a bunch of documents, some of which are hundreds of years old and largely invalidated plus a bunch of unwritten arrangements to run a country is imo not ideal to say the least.
Am I the only one who recognizes this as simply a definition of βcultureβ?
Well, not the only one considering that the USA is a thing, but that sort of near-religious treatment of eg a constitution is not normal at least from the perspective of dirty foreigner like me. Franky it's weird and fucking creepy
