      Countries with the words "people's" or "democratic" in their full official names are usually dictatorships

        Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) was the official name used by the U.S. government for the Global War on Terrorism. On October 7, 2001, in response to the September 11 attacks,

              No, it adds nuance to the topic, you effing racist.

              "Following World War II, developments in Marxist–Leninist theory led to the appearance of people's democracy, a concept which potentially allowed for a route to socialism via multi-class, multi-party democracy. Countries which had reached this intermediate stage were called people's republics."

              "The European countries that became people's republics at this time were Albania,[7] Bulgaria,[8] Czechoslovakia,[9] Hungary,[10] Poland,[11] Romania[12] and Yugoslavia."



              Which of those countries listed above were dictatorships? (Either then, or now)
              (Clue: If it's not all of them, the link doesn't agree with you and like I said, adds nuance, you muppet)

                I think the only patriotic thing to do is to change the names, anything else is treason
                Brittany is named after the island of Great Britain. You obviously have not read Gildas.

                  Indeed. Let's hope so.

                  Now when are you leaving?

                    It seems the Brexiters are in love with the USA therefore the UK should be called Disneyland.
                    The government can charge an entry free (funds go to the USA). Foreigners can watch attractions like the clowns in Parliament and the simple country folk in Devon and the wonders of the abandoned factories in the north.
