The British people are well known for their history of facing whatever is presented to them with a stiff upper lip, an attitude that has seen them and their country through many trying times..The ‘stay calm and carry on’ attitude has resulted in a distinctive sense of humour, which Wikipedia defines as being built on large doses of satire that takes on the absurdity of everyday life. .Common themes include sarcasm, tongue-in-cheek, banter, insults, self-deprecation and more, often accompanied, says Wikipedia, by a deadpan delivery which is present throughout the British sense of humour..Jokes are told about everything and almost no subject is off-limits, though a lack of subtlety when discussing controversial issues is sometimes considered insensitive..A new post by an account name @stevenvoiceover on Twitter has applied the British sense of humour to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the US Capitol Building.
