Bloody Brilliant British Images

British people get a lot of slack from Americans online. They get roasted for their teeth, food, and accents in ways that nearly always come off as hacky. Like we get it, Brits put peas and beans on foods that are largely incomprehensible to the Yankee mind and stomach, but can we let it rest?

British culture through the American lens can lean somewhat limited. Personally, my primary outlets for learning about British culture have been heavily influenced by memes and internet pop culture: Harry Potter, Superwholockians, Dan and Phil, and Skins GIFS. Let's just say, 2012 Tumblr was a special place to learn about the UK. If you're looking to view Great Britain through a more authentic lens, the Twitter account @NoContextBrits shows the British people as they truly are: mental. This account features screenshots of news articles, photos of storefronts, and UK-themed memes that properly showcase the hilarious antics of the British population.
