Ordinarily, Princess Twilight Sparkle is more than willing to welcome newcomers to Equestria, regardless of what type of creature they are or where they come from. However, she might soon find that even she has a limit as she is forced to confront the arrival of the greatest menace known to man: the British.
Like, all of them.
A bit sad, innit?

Oi!
NOT THE BRITISH!
Couldve been worse.
Any longer, and Pinkie wouldve been MURDERING A CURRY.
Actually, I think I might recognise those guys. Manchester or Liverpool?
OH NO

I'm not sure what that was, and I don't think I particularly want to.
Oh god THIS IS SCARY AND FUNNY
I GOTTA GET AN EXPERT!
as a brit
yes
After months away, I log on and the first thing I see is this. How terribly typical.
10 imperial points out of 12, my dear boy. Those two points are deducted for writing without applying for planning permission to do so.
'Terrifying twist ending
'
Well. Equestria doesn't have a Boston ripoff. So this works I guess.
... Rarity is already British, isn't she? Her accent sounds like it at least.
And then the stereotype yanks appear and they realise there all trapped in a monty python sketch
at least it wasnt the fr*nch
They then hear the following, echoing over waves accompanied by the glow of two lanterns.
Lyrics: Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand / Between their loved home and the war's desolation / Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land / Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. / Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, / And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." / And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave / O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oi! You got a loicense for a story this brilliant?!
The British be like...

And her family is as American as can be too.

Not bad for an hour's work, what.
If your sole knowledge of British culture is strong tea, bad cuisine, even worse teeth, football hooliganism, the Brexit vote, silly accents, bobbies on the beat and certain 'unique' phrases and words like 'Stone The Crows', 'Blimey Guvnor' and 'Nappy, Pavement' then this may be one of the greatest fics ever.
You also may be stuck in the distant past of London just post-WWII, hitting out at an 'acceptable' target (along with Christians, white people, the elderly etc) and American by birth. As for all the stuff about 'colonialism', you might want to look closer to home for a good example of this. LIke, all around you.
Remember: the UK was among the first countries to ban slavery, and during it's empire days it actually benefitted a lot of the countries it controlled (among with plenty of bad stuff, of course). But that's a debate for another time, not a can of worms I want to open in the comment section of a daft off-the-cuff fic like this.
Still, well done on getting your latest upvote magnet at the top of the features box. Looking forward to your next fic already, about a friendly human seducing a pony in a variety of 'humourous' and romantic ways. Very original. Have fun!
P.S You didn't even mention we spell a lot of words with an extra 'u'. What a missed opportunity!
P.P.S And not even one reference to Her (now His) Majesty at all. Sacrilege!
P.P.P.S Off I go to write a story about the whole of Equestria appearing in the middle of... *Sticks pin in map* Kentucky. Wish me luck! (First thought: how will Scootaloo react to being chased around by The Colonel?)

Good movie, but it's "In triumph doth wave." Now get it right, or pay the price.
Reminder that that stoopid "as you never heard it" video is ridiculous, exaggerated trash.
See Asimov's famous essay on the subject instead.

There!
Happy now, DAAAAAAAAADDDDD?!?!?!?

I'm looking forward to it!

So am I! Halloween is just around the corner... time for a rewatch I think...

I don't know what's funnier.
The actual fic or all the downvotes on joke comments for what is a joke story.
A BIT SAD, INNIT ?
LOL
I wonder if Celestia would like The Lambeth Walk. According to wiki, the late Elizabeth II was a fan and was known to enthusiastically join in with the "Oi!" chorus during performances.
But then, IIRC, Nicole Oliver remarked at some point that Celestia was a huge 80s rock fanfilly. I guess she'd prefer Pink Floyd.
Clearly, Luna prefers Gilbert and Sullivan.
The ending could be worse. Ponies might be turning into Scots, thanks to alien blancmange.
Oi! You got a license to write this fic about the British?
Oh no... not the British
11726816 Oh no... Rockhoof might already be Scottish! IT'S TOO LATE!! (DETONATES ALL THE MEGASPELLS... and triggers FOE) Hey it's better than the alternative!
11726592 The French would just surrender.
11726752 He could have REALLY hit hard and featured British cooking.
A parody Bri'ish story that mentions football but doesn't have a fat shirtless tattooed bloke screaming about Ingerland? Downvoted, blocked, reported, dialled 999, wrote a letter of complaint to my MP.

Ponies VS the French
The "French" already made their debut in G1.
Yes, this is a totally legit episode.11726536
Strictly speaking, Rarity speaks with a Mid-Atlantic accent (a hybrid accent that combines British and American influences; many actors in the 1930s and 1940s had this accent as it was quite easy to understand).
As a British person, I am truly sorry that Equestria only seemed to get people from the south. It'd be hilarious seeing Yorkshiremen trying to make sense of the place!
I miss the days of the English stereotypes being quiet and educated.
Giles and Wesley in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lord Marbury in The West Wing, Evie and Jonathan in The Mummy, Julian Bashir in Deep Space Nine, Pip in South Park, most roles played by Jeremy Irons. Even the mid-Atlantic thing that Rarity has, not to mention Fancy Pants and Fleur-de-Lis.
Then again, I miss the days of the English being quiet and educated.
I once saw a conversation online that went like this:
German: Hey, our food is pretty great here in Europe.
American: Have you heard of a place called "England"?
German: No, because it doesn't exist.
Brit: Don't do that. Don't give me hope.

That's even worse then.
11726910
Are they even worse? Somehow.

Is it? Opaline (in G5) speaks with a British accent (a very convincing one given her VA is Canadian).
People from Yorkshire can be blunt, but in my experience are friendlier than southerners. (My parents are from Yorkshire BTW.)
11727079
Rarity's always felt she's either adopted or she's faking it to sound more elite than she actually is. Since she's the only pony in her family to have this accent.
Did they at least ask if Equestria had a flag before settling?
The song playing in my head when I'm reading this story.

Disguising a natural accent is very common in the social world Rarity moves in-it gives us a clue of her social climbing intentions as having a 'regional' accent (like her parents do) was frequently mocked by high society (notice how a lot of upper class unicorns in Canterlot speak in a similar, neutral accent barring Fancy Pants, who takes RP to the extreme). Compare this to Pipp, who despite being from a super posh background speaks in the manner of a typical teenager.
11727208
At least they tried.
Them gosh darn britbongs are at it again.
RULE BRITANNIA!
For those people who keep disliking joke comments about Britain:
learn how to win a war 👍

Shaking my head. I’m glad English was taken out of the hands of the English.
