Actually, if we want to be absolute pedants on this point... (and if anyone has ever done a search of comments made by me to videos one will discover what an absolute pedant I am) ... here is some more detail. For elections to the House of Commons, we elect Members of Parliament, on a first past the post, per constituency seat system. The vote is counted by hand, with each individual count being managed by the local authority area's council (so normally the council responsible is either the borough or county council). Technically the UK election is NOT a secret ballot, as the ballot number issued to a voter is recorded against the register of voters when the ballot is issued to a voter. This makes the practice of "ballot stuffing" much easier to identify, and means that in the rare instance that two people both claim to be the same elector, that a ballot can still be issued to both individuals (as you do not need to show ID in England, Wales or Scotland to vote. NI is different). This is a rather rare occurrence, and the most common cause of this is that the voter has a condition such as dementia, the second person who attends the polling place, after someone has attended already, claiming to be a given person, is given a ballot of a different colour. If upon examining the total numbers and the votes cast on these "extra" ballots it is determined that they could make a difference to the election result, the "other" ballot issued to the same individual will be looked for, in the relevant counting piles. This is an exceptionally rare event. Local authorities are aware that there is a great deal of "good publicity" to be had by showing that they are efficient in their count. Thus at every general election, they compete to count to vote accurately, faster than anyone else. A typical count takes a couple of hours, with most of the results coming in around 4 hours after the polls close at 10pm. Some of the less efficient councils will still be counting votes well into the next working day. Sunderland in 2015 achieved their count in 48 minutes, Newcastle managed the 2016 referendum and 2017 elections in just over an hour. inews.co.uk/news/politics/sunderland-newcastle-general-election-results-2019-time-first-constituency-373643 All the candidates show up at the counting location, and have to stand on stage to hear the result. This means that you will often find the PM, or other senior MP's, or the opposition leader, stood with someone wearing fancy dress (who got under 100 votes). To be a candidate you have to post a deposit (£500), which is refunded if you get 5% of the vote, so if you want to stand next to the PM, wearing a funny hat, and have £500 quid to lose, that's ok. Once each constituency seat has declared their result, the MP is duly elected. If a party has a majority of MP's, then their leader will be able to go to the Queen, and propose that they can form a government. If they don't have an absolute majority, then they will do some horse trading, until they can either agree a coalition, or a supply agreement (a less close coalition agreement with other parties that will allow them to get financial legislation through). If no party is in a position to form a Government with a majority, and cannot agree a supply agreement, they can propose to the Queen that they can form a minority government. A minority government without a supply agreement however, will likely fall quickly, with a new election occurring shortly afterwards. Whoever can go to the Queen and demonstrate that they can form a Government can become the PM. The PM does not technically have to be in the House of Commons, they could be in the House of Lords (technically) but it's not likely to happen, as the person who is best placed to demonstrate that they have the best chance of managing a majority or effective government in the House of Commons is most likely to be the leader of the party with a majority (or who can form a coalition) in the Commons. It is strictly illegal to indicate how you voted, and it is illegal on election day for the press to speculate or report on the election turnout etc until the polling places have closed, at which point they all announce their "exit poll" where they had survey staff ask people question which were not "how did you just vote" but "if you voted tomorrow, who would you vote for". The UK election process is heavily regulated, to the extent that Americans would be utterly surprised by the restrictions. Firstly, except for a short period where we had a 5 year fixed term between elections - something put in due to a coalition (which has since been removed from the statute book) the has to hold an election at least once every 5 years. The Government can announce an election before that point however. UK elections have extremely strict spending controls, on candidates and parties. The total spent by all parties during the 2017 election was about £40 million, and the Electoral Commission checks every receipt, and investigates every penny spent. www.electoralcommission.org.uk/general-election-spending-returns-larger-parties-published The election campaign length is strictly regulated (running at approx 6 to 7 weeks). During this time, Parliament is dissolved, and the Government who announced the government operate as a caretaker government. They are restricted from making decisions and the civil service are prohibited from implementing policy changes by a rule called Purdah. To put this in perspective, the US election of 2020 cost in the region of $14bn.

British humour requires you to think to be able to appreciate it. English is my second language and I had a teacher that was actually from Birmingham. He would say to us that the moment we laught at British humour would be the moment we were able to understand the language. He only spoke English in class and lead us to belive he didn't knew our language, saying it was his first year teaching outside of English. By the end of the school year we found out he was living in our country for a decade by then, was married to a native and spoke our mother tongue with almost no accent, only had difficulties with the "rr" and "ch/lh" sounds.

Fun Fact: It gets really hot in the tube due to the clay soil which surrounds it. The clay is an insulator and traps all the heat from summer and the energy produced by the mass of heating, people and the friction breaking. When it was first built the heat wasn't a problem, but over the years the clay has started to warm. They have in the past actually uncovered parts of the lines, partly to give access to cables, and partly to allow some of the warm air to escape. Vents have also been built to allow warm air to escape too, and they can be seen all over London, and in Islington the tube is being used to provide heating and hot water to more than 1300 homes, a school and two leisure centres. The heat is still a real problem: during the 2006 EU heatwave the temperatures in the tube reached up to 47 C or 116 F.

The metal body's of the trains heat up in the sun and transfer the heat into the tunnels. The trains are too tight a fit in the tunnels to fit air conditioning. Also heat extracted by air con would just make the stations hotter.

In relation to the number of times a Prime Minister can be elected/stay in office - providing they can command the confidence of the House, in theory they can serve for a long time. There are no term limits. Interestingly, during a general election here, we don't vote for a specific person to become PM. We vote for the party (usually Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrats and Greens), The leader of the party that is receives the most votes (no electoral college here) then becomes Prime Minister.

There is a correct side up for the Union Jack. To fly it upside down is a sign of distress (or, more recently, a sign of disrespect) Apparently, it has been used in war times and I recall hearing that a British garrison was overrun by some horde or other and the survivors were instructed to fly the flag the next day, as normal, so that the enemy could allow the relief column to approach the stronghold and thus be killed/ambushed more easily. The loyal occupants flew the flag upside down and, the enemy not being aware as the difference is quite subtle, did not realise that the occupants had, in fact, given the relief column the tip off and this action subsequently saved the day. (Sorry, I don't have any references for this) Thanks for the video.

Errors: 03: England started using the St George's Cross as part of the recruitment campaign for the Hundred Years' War. Let alone the At George's Cross, the Union Jack is much older than "late 18th century". It's America's flag that comes from then. 04: St Andrew was crucified on a saltire-shaped cross; his body was later taken to Scotland. St Andrew is the patron saint of the Russian navy which is why the Russian naval ensign is a white saltire on a blue background. 05: Northern Ireland does have a flag. It's a St George's Cross with a red hand in the middle. 08: 64 million is quite a handy number because it's a square number (64,000,000 = 8,000²). 12: Fig. 1 could be the Battle of Tewkesbury: the church in the background looks like Tewkesbury Abbey but the armour doesn't look mediæval. Fig. 2: warming-pan incident? Fig. 3 is Civil War, 4 is the coronation of Queen Victoria. 5: uncertain, looks a bit too late for Magna Carta. 14: Fig. 3 is Arundel, 4 is somewhere in Carmarthenshire. 21: Horace Walpole,... Pitt,... Disraeli, Gladstone,... Chamberlain, Churchill, Atlee, Churchill's 2nd coming, Macmillan, Wilson, Heath,... Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson. 27: Windsor Castle has been added to over the years, nothing dates back to its founding. It is open to the public (although you do have to pay & go through a knife-arch) & my grandmother used to take my round it every time I visited it when she lived nearby. 34: Some southerners & Americans have a certain squeamishness around eating offal, which isn't really found in the frugal Scottish & northern English food cultures. Multi-national chocolate companies are actively trying to keep Cadbury's away from American taste buds using intellectual property law because it's more flavoursome & they want to preserve Americans' expectations for chocolate made mostly of tasteless fat. It would pass for a gourmet product in the US. 41: the London Underground is very hot. 46: Jones & Williams are Welsh patronymics. Englishmen are always joking about how the Welsh all have only a very small range of patronymic surnames, compared to the English whose surnames are more varied. 67: You can declare independence for anywhere, but the government will laugh at you. We've made films about it such as Passport to Pimlico. 72: Correcting someone who calls the tower "Big Ben" marks you out as a die-hard pedant. 76: Norfolk is the most isolated part of England. When the BBFC make changes to the film age rating system they test it in Norwich because kids from other cities can't afford a train ticket to go that far. 82: All laws passed under Oliver Cromwell were annulled at the Restoration, so technically the town of Halifax still has the right to execute by beheading any thief who steals more than 13½ pence, if it wanted to, as the privilege was revoked under Cromwell. They are proud of this & display an axe-blade in their municipal museum to commemorate it.

Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle are publicly owned and can be visited. Sandringham Estate is the Queens private home, but can also be visited.

Windsor castle is open to visitors but it’s a decent bit of money for a family day out. You also are limited to the parts of the castle deemed fit for public viewing.

Some things about the underground 1. London Underground IS the world’s oldest metro opening on the 10th January 1863 2. The reason it’s called the underground is because it was originally almost all underground and the company was called “UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC RAILWAYS LIMITED” and the name stuck as the line’s expanded above ground. 3. The reason the tube is so hot is because London is built on clay which is a great insulator and as heat from passing trains is emitted into the tunnels it gets stuck right around the stations. In addition it’s so old that it’s almost impossible to retrofit AC

You might want to get your naval history right as a flag at the the ensign position is an ensign and a flag at the Jackstaff is a jack no matter what flag is flown. Find me one other English or British flag not originating with the Navy with the Jack moniker. Lastly call it what you want I am only stating what it was called and either way is technically fine so get out of your own ass. Edit: the Royal Family also refer to it as the Union flag (on all official and unofficial sources) and as head of state, Army, Air force and Navy I.

Each year the temperature peaks in the underground is raising to the point in any summer its normal for it to be above 100F

There used to be 4 pubs within about 15 minutes casual walking distance from me, spent my whole life walking past them on my way back from school. All of them have since been shut down because of the lockdown.

There used to be a pub for every day of the year in Chester, which is around 300,000 people plus army barracks. I think the army barracks may be a clue to the reason for this number.

I don't know if it's been mentioned by someone else, but there are some parts of Windsor Castle that are open throughout the year to tourists :)

Good to know.

The young age on alcohol (5yrs old) is only with an adult and only for specific reasons, ie religious ceremony (communion wine) or with a meal for older teens. Its not like kids can purchase alcohol (not until your 18) or drink alone in a pub. Its a European custom that kids learn to drink responsibly and reasonably with the family at a meal,

Being from Denmark, I had the same thought. But visiting US family showed me something else. In the US they have rivers and lakes. We went to many beautifull sites ❤️❤️❤️

A "Jack" is the term used for the flag identifying the nationality of a ship; so the union flag (the real title) flying from the "jack-staff" is therefore called the union jack. The title of the british national flag is the Union flag, but the majority call it the union jack.

@@desmo750f1 As you may or may not know our flag has evolved as the different countries that now make up to United Kingdom came under the rule of England. In the 16th century the flag was known as the British flag or the flag of Britain and included the red cross of St George (England) and the blue saltire of St Andrew (Scotland). The name ‘Union’ first appeared in 1625. There are various theories as to how it became known as the ‘Union Jack’. The most plausible one is that when a small flag was mounted on the front of a warship (and a selected number of other ships) it was called ‘the Jack’. Sometime around 1674 the British flag became formally known as the ‘Union Jack’ when mounted on a warship and the ship was not in harbour. At the same time the British flag was referred to as the ‘Union flag’ on land. This rule was relaxed by the early nineteen century when the sailing term could be used when referring to the national flag everywhere. The first version of the flag was created in 1606, featuring only the English and Scottish flags. The Union Jack was amended in 1801 to incorporate the cross of St. Patrick (Ireland). And if you’re wondering why the Welsh flag was never incorporated into the Union Jack, it is because it was already a principality of England by 1801. In Wales you may see two flags flying including the yellow St Davids Cross and the red dragon on a green background. And finally: Make sure you hang the flag up the right way. An upside-down Union Flag is used as a sign of distress. Even worse, it can be seen as an offensive gesture!

The closest thing we have to a constitution is something called The Magna Carta which I believe is the oldest crime and punishment document in UK law

Fun Fact: A Sausage is called a 'Banger' in the UK, as during the First World War, the sausages that were used in the trenches for the army contained so much water (due to rationing and lack of ingredients) when you cooked them in frying pan they would explode when the fat and water mix, therefore would literally go Bang, hence Bangers :)
