I believe you're trying to lead me to use colloquial term, which people do normally say is parliament, but it is technically inaccurate.

same shit different sandwich fireweaver

Well no, I would have said a government.

If they have legal authority over you, and are paid with tax dollars, they're a government

just like I can call Americans "yanks"

Like I can call you a "limey"

🍋

then you'd be a twat - I'm Scottish

so a brute then?

no wonder you sound so incomprehensable

Police = Government
Courts = Government
Senate = Government
Representatives = Government
Governors = Government

correct, the Government is a government... but that does not include the opposition members.

police = police

Of course it does. They're elected, and get taxpayer dollars

Are they an invading force from another country?

not since 1066

elected, hmm... a very 20th Century concept if including all citizens

I would say "Do you see my point?" but I feel like you don't lol

This is weird. Like a twilight zone episode. Our words don't mean the same thing

*Fanny*

correct, over here, we speak English

Government: Anything that has legal authority over me, and I am forced to pay for via taxation

You can be a Member of Parliament in the Governing Party and still not be in the Government

cus you colonials don't speak the language

Yeah, I guess you can be a secretary in some politicians office and not be a lawmaker

We also have an independent executive and judicary

But they're still a part of the government

I'm just putting that there because we're better <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Ooo... I think I've found an audio version of the full Farage show from Sunday - I'll see if I can cap the Adonis interview.

Adonis who?

Alright so, let's say I want to use a word to describe how every level of your system is fucked and corrupt, from the county clerk, to the Queen herself.

All of those public officials put together, constitute what? What should I call that entire group of public officials and the system they reside in?

Apparently I'm wrong to say "Your government is fucked."

Lord Adonis - lying Remoaner cunt

@Fitzydog The Establishment

how he got that name, noone knows

NIGGA WHAT

But I just want to single out YOUR establishment

Establishment == people who've been there for decades

No wonder we declared independence

we are The Establishment (a bit like The Management in Hale & Pace)

@galesteppes We need to stamp out this infection

at least 50% of the republicans and democrats are the establishment

and that's why they all want to remain in the EU, because they're all in it together
