    I lived through the Troubles. I was in London during the [IRA] bombings. I know what a terrorist organisation is.

    That’s a very good point actually, what we typically think of as terrorism is acts of violence against people, not property damage.

    The next election in the UK will be fascinating to watch.

      The only people terrorised by property damage are rich assholes… So makes sense that the definition widened.

    They want to make sure no British can ever be proud of their country’s history at any given time of its existance

      This monologue originally had the last line be different.

      It wasn’t “fight the Empire”.

      It was originally “fuck the Empire”, but Disney stepped in.

      I can’t find a short with the audio but in that clip you can clearly see her mouthing “fuck” in front of the green screen and the face is a bit sterner as well.
