I'm genuinely happy for them
They do have over a billion people
Yea
They should have passed us a long time ago tbh
but as we all know, the wealth of a country means nothing if it's enhabitance are poor as fuck
however, I'm aware they're making strides
I don't think we'll ever become "not important"
by virtue that things stem out from us
we'll likely remain as admistrators and consultants
tbh I'm not too fussed about how big we are on the world stage
big is relative right
```In a column published in the Daily Telegraph six years ago, Johnson mocked Tony Blair's globetrotting: "What a relief it must be for Blair to get out of England. It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies," he wrote. It also mentioned "watermelon smiles".```
Guardian article from 2008, so Boris wrote article 20 years ago
the question on this one is when did piccaninnies become offensive
I never heard the word until it was brought up in the debates
It helps bring them out of poverty
sorry pep?
the word did?
So from what I can see here it's amerocentric for it to be offensive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickaninny
tbh 90% of racial controversies are Americanisms
it does appear that mainly the originiate there, and then they try to apply the same standard to us here
which is not acceptable
It helps bring them out of poverty
Huh
No sorry
I went underground
Message cane later
Needless to say, grievance-mongers just won't let go...

It’s part of being held accountable tbh
Something that Boris is afraid of
Suppressing reports, avoiding media. During the election campaign actually hiding in a damn fridge to get away from a reporter
I love how this is somehow supposed to mean you cannot change the criteria...
