    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.

    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.

    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)
