    British people hate people from the next county over more than they hate Gypsies and foreigners combined

      It’s like a regional version of “better a heathen than a heretic”

      As an American, in Tennessee, I don’t understand it. It’s not like the Brits have to deal with fucking Kentuckians, the cousin banging weirdos. Why do they hate on their neighbors so much? I mean, I have to live next door to yankee posers who fuck their sisters and made meth the state bird. And you don’t see me hating on the neighbors like that!

      It’s more sibling rivalry than hate. It’s far more terrifying. It gets even more so when something actually threatens either one. Anyone who’s seen the result of picking on the youngest of 3 brothers knows exactly what I mean.
