Corbyn not purging all of the ghouls in his party was the biggest mistake this shithole of an island has ever seen, right after the invention of British tea "culture".
Corbyn never had sufficient institutional power to do this, even if he'd had the stomach for it. And even if he'd had the stomach for it, few of his supporters would have
If only there was a way to fight against the establishment without having institutional power.
Well indeed, but step one of that plan probably isn't to survive successive purges by the party right and then accidentally win a leadership election against your own wishes lol
you know I thought I hated tea, and never understood why it's a part of our national thing. then I tried Chinese tea and discovered actually tea is so fucking cracked, anglo tea is just dogshit
Same, sis. Spent all my life being exposed to bad tea and herbal stuff until I finally found out what the fuck a gaiwan is a year ago.
Which is why it’s so amusing to me to see britbongers having endless arguments about making tea, acting all snobby about their favourite tea bag brand being the best in the world, or how adding milk first makes your tea somehow superior.
Like, you just take low quality leafs, shred them to shit and stuff them into way too small bags. Then you scald the tea dust with too hot water for 5 fucking minutes and in the end add copious amount of milk and sugar to cover up the bitter mess you created.
Even rednecks with their sweet tea have a more sophisticated tea culture than the country that’s most famous for it. It’s just ridiculous.
