I wish they would stay the heck out of our business. Don’t they have any news of their own?
Obsession! They are obsessed with Americans. It’s a sickness with them because we overshadowed them in the 20th Century. As well as in the 18th Century.
I stand corrected.
I was thinking of The Observer which is published on Sunday.
So it would seem. All of their media outlets have representatives here and I wonder why? What is the expression? We live rent free on the BBC?
Try that British Expat group again - what a pack of morons and scaredy cats! “Oh, I saw a cop with a gun strapped in his holster! Oh, my, we never had anything like this in London! Where can I buy a cheap English candy bar in godforsaken America, by the way?”
LOL, my favorite: “I know all about America, I have been to Disney World twice.”
Or the British soldier wearing a tee-shirt with a Union Jack and an arrow pointing at our American flag and the caption read: “I’m with stupid.”
I love the unique way the British make friends.
Yes, Yul Brenner is a better casting of Genghis Khan than Peewee Herman.
Happily, I’ve never seen that disgusting t-shirt.
Did you know that the Brits know more about American slavery than their own hideous acts in the Carribean or, for that matter, throughout their entire empire? That was poll tested! They also don’t appear to know who it was that brought slavery to the Americas - they seem to think it might have been somebody in Russia or somethin’.
And one day, maybe, the media will realize that the foreign interference in our last election came from Great Britain - not from Russia.
Why post this crap?
Well I have it on good authority (Brit’s), that because we are sooo stupid that yes, the average Brit knows far more about this country than we do.
The above does not have to be poll tested, it’s just a British fact.
I have been wondering through this mess why no one has identified the Steele dossier as coming from Britain? I have also wondered why no one saw the famous debate in Parliament as the British attempt to influence our elections? It seems they are given a pass for whatever anti-American nonsense they come up with, wonder why?
I suppose because most Americans never think of the Brits. Only folks like you and me do - we are a rarity. Certainly, you never see much coverage of events in Great Britain on Fox or CNN or any other channel. Only when there is a major terrorist event do we see London in the news.
I do believe that behind Steele is the British government. They did not want Donald Trump as president.
2nd Division is back from a major illness and posting again. I would think we should be grateful rather than nasty.
Then you and I think the same thing. I think there can be little doubt that the British were quietly behind the Steele dossier.
I doubt that they will bring out the welcome mat for Trump as they did for Obama. I think most of them are, including Lizzie, still on their knees worshiping Obama.
I am dead set against the president going to Great Britain. Unlike France, which kept their insane protesters at bay, the Brits will let them get up front and personal. Khan will be on tv every day acting like Prime Minister while God knows what May will be up to. He should think again. They need us far more than we need them. They have alienated the EU (although I support Brexit) and are now alienating us. They’ll have to trade with Grenada if this keeps up.
Once again we totally agree. I don’t trust them to keep the president safe I think they would enjoy allowing the raving mob to “scare” him a bit.
We also know that the queen will not race out to meet Trump’s helicopter the way she did to meet Obama. Will anyone be there to officially greet him or will they attempt to humiliate him?
Remember this little bit? “Conservative?” Doesn’t sound like any conservative I have ever known.
“Conservative former minister Andrew Murrison also said: “We have to be alive to the possibility that this ridiculous individual may be elected as President of the United States,” to roars of laughter. “In that event, would such a ban be overturned? If it was not it would be one almightily snub to the American citizens to which he has been referring.”
What they don’t seem to realize is that they have already crossed that line and have insulted 63 million Americans.
The Queen pretty much has to do what her government tells her, so I don’t predict she’ll do anything differently than she did with the Obamas - unless otherwise instructed. But the government? I suspect anything can happen. I loathe that May! And that Speaker of the Commons, Bercow, or whatever his name is. All bad people. Incompetent people, as well.
I don’t recall the queen rushing to meet anyone before Obama. I do remember former presidents and foreign leaders being brought to her.
May is a ridiculous woman and I loved how it was announced that she was coming to American to “scold” Trump over something that got their noses out of joint. I thought, oh that should go over well.
I laughed out loud when I read that the British were put out that Theresa May was the 11th world leader to speak with Trump after the election. I guess they thought May should have been 1st especially after the “debate” in Parliament.
Yes, they were furious that May was low man on the totem pole! She deserved it.
Just told off the Expats in no uncertain terms since today they are showing a particular ignorance when it comes to American culture - ie, voting patterns. I always insult them by referring to their obsession with finding cheap British chocolate in America. They are completely bored and indifferent to anything worthwhile in America but their fury at not finding Dairy Milk Chocolate cannot be slaked!
Well I don’t know where they are but down here some Publix have an entire section of British “delicacies” such as:
Heinz Tomato Soup (I didn’t even know that Heinz still made soup)
Robinson’s Barley water (I won’t even ask what that is)
Brit chocolate - Aero’s, Lion Bar’s, Terry’s chocolate orange, Malteaser’s, Turkish Delight (What, no Cadbury? Oh that’s right Kraft foods owns Cadbury now)
Wine gums (What??)
Irn-Bru (double what??)
How can they live without their peculiar food, maybe they should go home?
You have far more patience than I do, LOL.
Oh, but my dear Miss Lemon - it costs money to buy them at Publix, don’t you know? Why, at Aldi’s or Tesco’s at home it is much cheaper - and somehow, oh, I don’t know why, it just tastes so much better when overlooking the moors sucking on a Mars Bar rather than in uncultured USA.
They apparently don’t understand, either, that imports are a tad more expensive than home grown. But we are the dumb ones.
