I bet they let women vote

think how bad it would be today

>Aleister Crowley

It's stupid, but not as stupid as that image

>muh bulldogs
>epic Farage
>lets just try to fit as much random "british" shit in a single image as we can

Honestly surprised you didn't include Austin Powers somewhere

Salazar won it here.

>Emmeline pankhurst above Geoffery Chaucer

I didn't make it, and i agree it's pretty poor, but has some good to it

most of the image is just engpaki stuff.

Who's the chap holding that cylindrical engine like thing? Is that Frank Whittle?

You are aware that King Arthur is a mythical figure, right?

yes

He is still on the list.
Also that's debatable, like saying Jesus is mythical

Not quite the same. There's proof that Jesus existed, not for Arthur.

There's quite a bit of proof for the existence of Arthur such as the writings of Gildas, Bede, Nennius and archaeological evidence such as the Glastonbury cross and grave

King Arthur was literally invented by some French writer.

lol England is such a non-culture it's not even funny

I may be mistaken, but I believe Bede was using Gildas as his source for Arthur, and Gildas only had one source. There's some evidence, but not proof.

I literally don't even know any of the people you're babbling on about, stop pretending your country is relevant

You can quote me on it user, I'll be your source.

No.
Chretien de troyes merely added to the Arthurian tales already very popular and developed in wales

>lol
>it's not even funny

The original Welsh tale was about some fucking guy looking for a cauldron or some shit

they could have at least voted for that one wot wrestled an horse

>Cromwell above Alfred the Great and King Arthur
But that’s right

Culhwch and Olwen or something like that?
I think it was the first Romance tale

Or was it preiddu Anwn? ( i dunno, fuck the welsh language)

mad belgian detected

Also there was Geoffery of Monmouth and i think he wrote before Chretien when he wrote the 'History of the kings of Britain'

WHERE THE FUCK IS ROBERT THE BRUCE
WHERE IS KING DAVID
WHERE IS WALLACE
WHERE IS BURNS

why does David Beckham get on the list before all of them

Bruce and Wallace are on the list

This is some proper oldfag posting, I like it.

>two crypto-anglo-normans, a half-anglo and a unionist
this is the power of scottish nationalism

sush

Nationalism is pride in a nation, not an ethnicity. Otherwise America would've died out ages ago

Who said I'm a nationalist?

I agree with you but just to help out you're making a distinction between civic nationalism and ethno-nationalism.

As he says in English

>making public vote

>making bunch of monkeys with no idea who 99.99% of all the people on the list are vote

Thanks for speaking our language Hans.

>2002
>16 years ago
NOT HISTORY

>implying republitards didn’t use vpn to vote 5 times to get Cromwell up there

There better be somebody named Nigel on this list.

American?

>15. Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington
Irish

>18. Queen Victoria
>24. Elizabeth II
German

>35. Boudica
Lmao

>51. King Arthur
Fictitious

>72. Henry V
>82. Richard III
French

>90. Henry II
Even Frenchier than the ones above
Not even born in England

Actually they are all African.

>King Arthur
>British

This. KARA BOGA.

We had one in the United States a little over a decade ago. It might have been done by Discovery Channel. The whole thing was a farce. Number 1 was Ronald fucking Reagan.

God I used to love her

Based on opinion polls, nothing more.

He litterally was. He wasn't English.

big if true

>Wellington is Irish even though his family originally came from England
>Victoria and Elizabeth are German because their families are originally from Germany

What autism is this?

>Ctrl+F
>No Lindy
What is wrong with you people

He's French.

>enoch powell
>not in the top 5

>Britton
>British
okay

Yes. Those two words mean exactly the same thing.

England gave America English abd then spread it throughout it's global empire, 1/4 of the world's population. Now 1/4 of the world speaks English and no one outside Germany speaks German you fat sausage

>calls Wellington Irish
>calls Henry V French
The level of hypocrisy here is astounding

We're not all g*rmoids now retard

>Diana
>John Lennon
>Paul McCartney
>Michael Crawford
>David Bowie
>King Arthur
...
>79. David Lloyd George is at the very bottom
Modern bongs are truly lost.

Hey now, woah. Leave Arthur alone

t. paki

>it's global empire
>it's

This is what happens when retarded bongoloids try to speak American.

Childhood is admiring the ancient Romans

Edgy adolescence is worshipping Prussia and Germany

Adulthood is recognizing the British created the greatest civilization in human history

Look at the bongoloid and laugh!

What irrelevant shithole are you from to disgrace the great name of Britain? An island that has produced the most brilliant scientific and inventive minds in history.

More like an island whose only claim to relevance is riding on America's coattails.

There is no country on Earth I have less respect for than Britanistan.

>Britain is irrelevant because i hate it

>100 Greatest Brazilians
>#1 was Chico Xavier
>a FUCKING MEDIUM

These lists are a meme

>according to MITI 54% of the world's most important inventions were British

I don't know who is more pathetic, the britbong who originally made this up, or the millions of bongs who unironically gobbled it up and have been spamming something so obviously and lazily fake ever since in an effort to convince everyone of their relevance.

Excellent refutation.
Also where are you from?

Post the source for that ridiculous "study" then.

Hint: it doesn't exist. Just how laughably delusional and insecure do you have to be to make something like this up?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Accomplishment

That book says nothing of the sort you complete joke.

That's the fucking source for that image i posted. Where the most significant figures are British.
If we're so irrelevant stop speaking ours and our sons' language

How about you stop speaking American you irrelevant shit.

And that pathetic quote was obviously copypasted on top of that screenshot.

I can't believe I've been baited this long

>telegraph.co.uk/finance/2847748/Innovation-in-action.html
>bong newspaper quoting made up bong delusion
>even bong journalists are this pathetic

Holy crap it would be one thing if it was just a couple of deluded teenagers on the internet, but this is just sad. Just when I thought I couldn't lose any more respect for Britain...

>he says on the British World Wide Web

Haha oh wow, I've seen that quote around and always assumed it was just trolling, but you guys actually believe that shit?

>if I keep pretending we're America maybe it will become true!

Why are you so mad?
Where are you from? Were you denied citizenship ahmed?

>British journalism

>trying to ad hominem your way out of how pathetic you are

How to tell when you got utterly destroyed.

At least Britain has achievements which you blatantly ignore, still using the British WWW on the computer which was a concept invented by Brits.
You're literally denying chaps like isaac Newton by repeatedly saying 'meme' or 'deluded' or 'irrelevant'

>look everyone we have this one scientist!

And I'm sure Isaac Newton invented 54% of the world's most important inventions lmao

-Maxwell
-Rutherford
-Thomson
-Kelvin
-Boyle
-Faraday
-Dirac
-Darwin
-Harvey
-Hooke
-Priestley
-Davy
-Jenner
-Fleming
Etc.
Blow it out your ass faggot

>a bunch of literally whos

>Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac
>pure-blooded English scientist!

>American

The absolute state

Normies and brainlets please go

*le epic cat meme XD

Well he was half Swiss, but born in England

Well Darwin is famous, but yeah the rest is just desperation.

Look up what they discovered.
It's the discovery that counts

You probably can't even name a single German or French scientist judging by your display of 'knowledge'

So is Henry II, yet he's on the list
