Every time I hear Times Radio discussing whether Crimea could perhaps be given to Russia in exchange for peace, I feel like asking how British folk would feel, if Denmark had a radio show pretending to have a serious debate about returning the Danelaw to Denmark.

Just like Britain is Britain, Ukraine is Ukraine. And no matter how many times the Murdoch media empire keeps platforming people who insist on both-siding Putin’s illegal invasion, that will never change.

@randahl Cue the comedians giving away Wales.

@godofbiscuits I may be culturally ignorant here. Are comedians in the UK making fun of Wales in much the same way all kinds of comedians in the US make fun of Florida?

@randahl @godofbiscuits Comedians in the UK make fun of any part of the UK in much the same way comedians in the US make fun of Florida. Especially Essex.

@freequaybuoy I guess it is like that in many countries. It seem to have become less and less in Denmark, because we move so much around, most people have lived in multiple parts of the country and realised, we are very similar.

When I grew up, everyone made fun of the people from Copenhagen. Now every family has a member who has studied in Copenhagen or lives there.

Why Essex?
