There's a disconnect. The English still think they're an empire when in reality England now has the GDP of Zambia and everyone else in the Commonwealth is embarrassed and want a divorce.

Like I said. There's a disconnect. Still clinging to those past numbers. We'll be great again. You'll see...

Old numbers? You mean last years numbers? I honestly can't tell if you're a troll or if you count your IQ on with your fingers. Then again I suppose they're basically the same thing really.

Last year's numbers no longer mean anything because the British economy has since collapsed. The disconnect is remarkable to watch. We're not poor. We're the fifth largest economy in the world! Says so right here in my Encyclopedia Brittanica. Wait. The page is missing. May have used it to wipe my bum. Or light a fire. What was I saying? Oh yes. We're not poor at all. Long Live the King!

Ah okay, you're stupid. Show me the numbers then, show me a reputable source that says our GDP has fallen to the same level as Zimbabwe.

Zambia. But I see now why you're so emotional. It's the racism. The horrifying thought that you're now reduced to African levels of poverty. Everyone laughing at you. Enjoy the collapse. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/nov/17/obr-confirms-uk-enters-year-long-recession-with-half-a-million-job-losses-likely

That article says nothing about what you've said here, like literally nothing at all

Lol I don't want to hear that from some neckbeard from Cincinnati obsessed with star trek 😆

Utter horseshit. People with an axe to grind keep bringing this up, but nobody here really thinks we're an empire at all, and the commonwealth is more of a trading/discussion forum these days. Countries are free to leave or apply to join whenever they like, and there is no obligation to recognise the Crown as head of state.
