So I asked myself: what does that look like from the POV of those outside our national bubble? Perhaps I could find out by DuckDuckGoing about, asking for politically incorrect humor from outside the USA. Since I speak only American, and the Brits do a passable job of speaking the only language I understand, I specified outside the USA for the search engine I used (DuckDuckGo.)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>The internet offered this link below, which calls out what I think are British political parties. To my ear, labor = hard work, or what women do when giving birth, but from my vacationing in the British Isles summer of 24, it might be they are referring to one of their political parties (oh we had a nuclear BLAST over there (such fun (it’s where the Beatles started!
