I know some of us may have our differences but please join us to remember this special day in history.

  1. I won’t write what I’m thinking because I would certainly end in some list, but it involve the use of words like “revival” and “again”

  2. Seeing the current state of the USA, we should do it again.

  3. It’s because we opposed slavery and decided to make it the blackhouse out of solidarity.

  5. And we’ll fuckin do it again!

  6. This is the only type of yank posting this sub should allow

  7. And if they hadn’t failed finishing the job back then, we’d be happier today. But alas, here we are. Having to live with the results of Barrys incompetence.

  8. Don’t worry guys, I’m sure the Yanks are about to do it again themselves.

  9. The this one was largely on Canada, which ultimately why I think we should allow them in the EU.

  11. I remember going to Washington D.C in my 20s. Had a special tour of the Capitol through a friend-of-a-friend.

    I cannot express my pride in words, every time we were criticised for oppressing them. In fact, I nearly cried when I heard we had burnt it down. Lets MAGA.

  15. Look what can be achieved when Britain works together. English, Scottish, Welsh, all working to fuck over the yanks. Beautiful.

    Imagine if we had the Northern Irish arson specialists!

  16. Unbelievably based. People think we’re past our best, we’ll fuck anyone up just give us a reason

  17. To be fair we should give credit to the Canadian militias and indigenous tribes that did the majority of the fighting and burning.

    We were too busy dealing with a proper enemy, good old France.

  19. Maybe we should also make this a national holiday in the UK, celebrating this day like we celebrate guy fawkes day.

    “James I was always repeating, ‘No Bishop, No King’” to himself, and one day a certain loyal citizen called Sir Guyfawkes, a very active and conscientious man, overheard him, and thought it was the slogan of James’s new policy. So he decided to carry it out at once and made a very loyal plan to blow up the King and the bishops and everybody else in Parliament assembled, with gun-powder.* Although the plan failed, attempts are made every year on St Guyfawkes’ Day to remind the Parliament that it would have been a Good Thing.” (1066 and all that)

  20. Oh how we’ve fallen. Now all we’re good for is burning our own flag.

  21. “Britain” whenever it’s based, “England” whenever it’s a war crime

  22. If only we were brave enough to civilise the savages at any cost

  24. I love that the Yanks call this the “War of 1812” instead of the “Failed attempt to annex Canada”

  25. A vastly underrated and arguably funnier aspect of the same campaign was the Battle of Bladensburg that was the preamble to the capture of the city. The American defenders were so thoroughly defeated there that they ran away in cowardly fear of the bayonet charge *so hard* that many of them suffered from heat stroke as a result – hence the nickname ‘the Bladensburg Races’.
