Thanks J. I knew the etymology, I’m just curious as to what it means to people today when they hear or use the word ‘posh’ to describe someone.

Also, the Magna Carta clearly states that foreign rule over England is illegal.
As a Briton, I would be well within my legally designated rights to bomb, shoot, maim, murder, beat or cause any other kind of minor disruption to any official or representative of the European Union as it would be an act of war.
The evil fascist empire of the European Union will face the same fate as its predecessors, the Third Reich & the USSR.
The Magna Carta is held in MY city, not yours
