Our social media director Emma sets the record straight on these British phrases. 

Het is gebeurd. De Britse premier Keir Starmer vertrekt uit Downing Street 10, onder druk van zijn partijgenoten. Exact tien jaar na de Brexit blijkt dat ook de Labour-premier het land niet op de rails heeft kunnen krijgen en houden. Zal gedoodverfd opvolger Andy Burnham beter doen? ­ De Britten krijgen straks hun zevende premier in tien jaar tijd. Vandaag is het een decennium geleden dat ze stemden over een eventuele uitstap uit de Europese Unie (verdict: ja), en sinds de Brexit een feit is, zijn een deel van de doemscenario's uitgekomen. Economisch is het Verenigd Koninkrijk er niet op vooruitgegaan. ­ Toen Keir Starmer in 2024 zijn intrek nam in Downing Street 10, rustte de hoop van veel centrumlinkse Britten op zijn schouders. Maar amper twee jaar later moet ook hij – de eerste Labour-premier sinds de Brexit – de handdoek gooien. De afgelopen weken werd hij aangeschoten wild, zijn exit stond in de sterren geschreven. ­ Starmers opvolger heet vrijwel zeker Andy Burnham, ook een lid van Labour. Burnham haalde vorige week donderdag een eclatante overwinning bij de tussentijdse verkiezingen in district Makerfield bij Manchester. Naarmate de populariteit van Starmer afkalfde, ging zijn ster rijzen. Welke adelbrieven kan Burnham voorleggen, en zijn ze voldoende om erop te vertrouwen dat hij het leven van de gewone Britten wél beter kan maken? ­ Wil je de nieuwste aflevering van onze economiepodcast Kop of munt beluisteren?

Even though we may talk about Kolsch Night all month long, it only happens on the third Tuesday of each month. This Tuesday happened to be said night, so this is a slightly shorter-than-normal show, but we still made sure we covered 5 pieces of content for you! Some of the things we chatted about before heading down to OTR were:  Producer Nick needs a yard pass. Julia's discomfort with videos and how that's all MadTree's fault this week. Overusing the "DISAPPOINTED" button. The Gnome and the Patriot Pack and how it was different than expected. Discussing if phone books still exist. Ziegler is in the tanks and Brittany is eyeing that 3rd Golden Gnome! Marco was right this whole time about the most recent version of Axis Mundi. More beers coming to Parks and Rec. Cincy Brew Dads busting out a tongue twister of an episode title. There was a pupper wandering around the background, so Julia got distracted by that and had to watch the episode twice to take accurate notes and counts. Were all their cheese curd facts...factual? Did Gnome use poisoned sugar cubes in his cocktail? Gnome talked some Half Truths. Someone on the internet is unhappy. Bret and Mike don't know if alcohol is good for you or not anymore. Billions of extra pints of alcohol will be drunk by 2 Brits during the World Cup. Irwin Simon is being brilliant again. ----- This episode covers the following shows : The Weekly Pint - Ep 318 - Get Out Of The Way!

In this special on-location episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, recorded at the Chicago History Museum on the occasion of His Majesty the King's official birthday, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Richard Hyde — His Majesty's Consul General in Chicago and the senior British diplomatic representative across 14 states in the American Midwest. Speaking just before the British Consulate's King's Birthday Garden Party, Richard explains what a Consul General actually does, why Britain doesn't have a National Day, how he approaches representing modern Britain to the heartland of America, and what King Charles's address to a joint session of Congress meant for the Special Relationship. The conversation also uncovers a remarkable piece of Anglo-Chicago history: after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Queen Victoria and 8,000 British donors — including Disraeli, Tennyson, and John Stuart Mill — sent books to Chicago, directly founding the Chicago Public Library. Plus: the Beatles, Frank Lloyd Wright's Welsh roots, Abraham Lincoln's North Wales ancestry, and why Chicago is Richard's favorite city in the world. Note: We had originally planned to do a 100th Q&A for our 100th episode, but a much bigger opportunity arose last week, which we thought was more fitting. We'll do the Q&A soon! Links British Consulate General Chicago Website UK In Chicago on Instagram British Consulate General Chicago on X/Twitter British Embassy Washington DC UK Government in the USA Chicago History Museum Chicago Public Library Foundation Hawksmoor Chicago Celtic Crossings Chicago Chicago Shakespeare Theater America 250 Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The United Kingdom is one of the only countries in the world without an official National Day — which is why British consulates abroad use the King's official birthday in June as their annual celebration, conveniently timed to coincide with Trooping the Colour. Richard Hyde covers 14 American states as Consul General — roughly 25% of the entire United States — including 105 members of the House of Representatives and 28 senators, making the Midwest a critical region for understanding where American politics is heading. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Queen Victoria personally led a donation drive that saw 8,000 British donors — including Benjamin Disraeli, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and John Stuart Mill — send books to Chicago, directly founding the Chicago Public Library. Victoria's personally signed copy of a biography of Prince Albert is still in the library's special collection. King Charles's address to a joint session of Congress during his America 250 visit was, in Richard's assessment, a masterclass in diplomatic communication — speaking to shared values rather than political divisions and reminding both nations of the deep historical thread connecting Magna Carta to the US Constitution. Frank Lloyd Wright's family were Welsh; Abraham Lincoln's great-great-grandfather came from a small village in North Wales just 40 miles from Richard's hometown of Liverpool; and Anish Kapoor — who designed Chicago's Cloud Gate Bean — is British. Britain's cultural fingerprints are everywhere in Chicago. The British Consulate deliberately chose the Chicago History Museum and the Chicago Public Library Foundation as partners for this year's King's Birthday event to honor the Victorian book donation story — and encouraged guests to donate to the Foundation in the spirit of Queen Victoria's original gesture. Richard argues that British culture in America is simultaneously everywhere and invisible — so deeply embedded in American music, film, language, and history that most Americans don't register it as foreign. The Beatles are the perfect example: four working-class kids from Liverpool whose music plays in every country in the world, including a Chinese restaurant in Somalia in 1998. The Special Relationship, Richard says, is ultimately about 80% agreement — both countries share fundamental values on democracy, freedom, and human rights, and the disagreements, while loud, are at the margins. King Charles's Congress speech focused on that 80%. Richard's most unexpected discovery in Chicago: Midwesterners are the most authentically friendly people he's encountered in 10 overseas postings. They follow up. They text you. They actually become your friends — not just professional contacts. Richard's message to young Americans: spend time abroad. Not a two-week vacation, but a semester, a few months, living in someone else's culture. It will change how you see America — and make you appreciate it far more deeply. Soundbites "I like to joke that Chicago is one of America's two great cities with proper downtowns. Everywhere else is sprawl. But the difference is — in Chicago, the people are nice, the streets are clean, and the food's better." — Richard on why Chicago stands apart. "We're celebrating America 250. We're celebrating the fact that this is the greatest startup in history. We argued a little bit and there was some spilled tea — and despite all of that, 250 years on, no two countries do more together in the world." — Richard on Britain's approach to America 250. "Queen Victoria and 8,000 British donors sent books to Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871 — and that donation directly led to the founding of the Chicago Public Library. Victoria's signed copy is still there. It's a gesture from 1871 that still resonates now." — Richard on the Anglo-Chicago library story. "The King rises above the moment. He was able to come at a challenging time in our relationship and remind Americans — and remind Brits — that there are fundamentally more important things than the moment we're in. And that is our shared values." — Richard on King Charles's Congress speech. "I've been all around the world. I've never really been a great theater-goer. But Ed Hall at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre has kind of infected me. I've become addicted to theater." — Richard on an unexpected Chicago conversion. "The flag in the United States is the symbol of their liberty. Our flag was created from existing countries we already had. So Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland — the Union flag is basically a combination of four different crosses. We didn't have to fight for it." — Richard on why Brits and Americans relate to their flags so differently. "I've lived here almost two years. Of all the places I've lived, this is the easiest place in the world to actually build a network of friends. You can stand in a bar and someone starts talking to you about the Cubs and fundamentally how terrible everyone is at the moment — and they actually follow up." — Richard on Midwestern friendliness. "The longer I stay away and the more I've represented my country overseas, the prouder I am of that country. Warts and all. I'm proud of the history — even the complicated history. You have to understand it, not erase it." — Richard on representing Britain from a distance. "I have to say — I saw Hamilton recently and the best character in Hamilton is the King. Everyone agrees. He has the best songs." — Richard on George III stealing the show. "If you ever get a chance to travel — and I say this to a lot of young Americans — don't mean a two-week vacation. Go spend a semester abroad. Go spend a few months in somebody else's culture. And you'll understand A, that the country you love isn't perfect. But the longer you think about it, the more you'll appreciate what your country does." — Richard's message to young Americans.

Scotland's Tartan Army showed up to the 2026 World Cup in Boston — and drank the entire city dry. Sam Adams says its Boston Taproom sold four times as much beer as on a typical Fourth of July weekend, forcing an emergency Saturday-morning delivery just to keep kegs flowing. One bar tripled its St. Patrick's Day sales. Another ran out of everything. Also, Dallas police got called on rowdy Brits and a Japanese fan who can't speak English but is living his best World Cup life. Is the World Cup actually uniting the world?    Then — Kevin Bacon is temporarily changing his name to Kevin "Bean." We explain why.  The comment section has questions we need to confront — specifically about Doug the chinchilla's burial.   Plus: Senator Curtis is going on a long walk for America 250, and we still want to ask about his hair. Do you get the ick when women drive men around? And a guy on social media is eating at Chinese restaurants until he gets food poisoning — is that genius marketing or just unhinged?   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

Polish-American man Leo Gerstenzang is credited with inventing the humble cotton bud in the 1920s, an item which has since gone on to be used for many different purposes, having originally been thought up as a baby hygiene product.Yougov research from 2019 found that 62% of Brits use cotton buds to clean their ears, and 22% of us only use them for that purpose. That's particularly true for men, given women are more likely to use them for touching up nail polish mistakes, or applying make up.  But you may well have heard warnings that cotton buds can be bad for you. 2019 also saw the unlikely case of a man who developed a severe bacterial infection, which sprread to the lining of his brain, after the tip of a cotton bud got stuck inside his ear. He ended up having a seizure and had to be treated at University Hostpital Coventry, according to Livescience.com. How can I clean my ears then? Are there any safe ways?

Although the new open-world Forza Horizon is set in Japan, Andy and Ian enjoy noting that these are games from UK-based studios or with British elements (like the legendary James Bond). Along the way, they talk about a WWDC video shared by Michael Rowe, which brings foveated streaming to the Vision Pro headset, although Ian notes that Varjo has been in this space for several years already. There’s a second round of gaming conversations that includes the latest XBox Games Showcase, featuring an older game (Sea of Thieves) from another British studio, and a yet-to-be-released game (Fable) with British voice talent and acting, that was also originally from the UK. There’s also a quick nod to an easter egg in the latest LEGO Batman game. The episode wraps up with a discussion of the recently fully-funded Kickstarter for the Virtual Worlds Museum, that we last talked about in episode 555. Ian mentions some of the recent video content that has been released by the project. Many thanks to Ian for joining the show this week, bringing a deep focus on games and virtual worlds!

Send us Fan MailThe Second Boer War, also known as the Anglo-Boer War, raged between October 1899 and May 1902. Involved in the conflict were the British and the Boer residents in the South African Republic and the Orange Free State, both regions established in South Africa in the 1850s. This 31-month clash led to the deaths of almost 100,000 people, while more than 75,000 Brits were wounded and 24,000 Boer troops were captured and sent overseas. The war also led many, including the British public, to question the morality of the oppressive British Empire. Join us for this documentary as we examine the Second Boer War: Britain vs South Africa.. Welcome to Wars of the World.Support the show

The Somali Health Board will be distributing the tickets. The agency receives $262,982 of WA taxpayer funds “Henry Nowak was kind, thoughtful and much-loved. His life was stolen from him, leaving his family and loved ones devastated.  The bodycam footage is harrowing. It's absolutely right that the IOPC is looking at this. There are serious questions for the police to answer.” - Keir Starmer  This is quite frankly the most DISGUSTING non-apology I have ever heard. "We have said sorry" What? So he doesn't feel the need to apologise personally as Chief Constable? “The killing of George Floyd has shone a light on racism experienced by black people in the US and beyond, including here in the UK.” - Keir Starmer  WATCH: Keir Starmer condemns the attacks on police in Southampton last night . "This is a time of serious work, not rage... anyone found engaging in disorder will meet the full force of the law" UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood condemned the Southampton protests as "completely unacceptable" and promised demonstrators will face "the full force of the law." The officers who handcuffed Henry Nowak as he bled to death, pleading with them that he couldn't breathe? No comment. Mahmood had plenty to say about the protests. Justice for Henry is apparently someone else's department. Source: BBC“They are rioting and attacking police in Southampton...Farage. Only this morning asked for "pure cold rage" -- He incited this @metpoliceuk -”  Narinder Kaur - Broadcaster & social commentator Invited speaker at @ukparliament and @cambridgeunion British police seem a lot tougher on ordinary English people than they ever were on grooming gangs or the people murdering Brits.Angry protesters confronted the police in Southampton, demanding they “bend the knee and pay their respects to Henry” Nowak. “What are you gonna do? Put me in cuffs and kill me?” said one after the police told them it was in the hands of the IOPC This is Henry's older sister, Olivia Nowak. She called her brother her "best friend" and said they had "an unbreakable bond" in a statement following his death. Pray for her
