A tweet with the caption:
"WHY DID NO KINGS CHANGE THEIR NAME SO THAT THEY DONT CRITICISE THE MONARCHIES IN BRITAIN AND BELGIUM HOLY SHIT IM GOING TO CHOKE LAUGHING"

And a screenshot attached of a Wikipedia article on No Kings: 
"Related demonstrations are planned on the same day in the United Kingdom and Europe, using the alternative name No Tyrants: Vote Early to avoid confusion with anti-monarchic movements in countries with constitutional monarchies. This version invites United States citizens living, studying, or visiting in Europe to participate in the No Kings demonstrations."

the brits dont even have one!

they'll tell you that they do have one, but they just... prefer not to write it down:

The constitution of the United Kingdom comprises the written and unwritten arrangements that establish the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as a political body. Unlike in most countries, no official attempt has been made to codify such arrangements into a single document, thus it is known as an uncodified constitution.

they're quite committed to the bit, even going so far as having a whole thing they call "UK constitutional law" (replete with varieties of court dress).
