I specified a mother that was born in the UK, as you did.

I did, but why draw the line at mother?

I suppose you could go back to Washington and rake up some close British kin.

The article spoke of the "last" not the "first," so I went back to Presidents in my lifetime.

I said mother because Trump's was the most recent and the original article spoke Trump being the last with "emotional attachment."

You posted some generic pablum in response to my response, so I went back a few presidents further to show additional emotional attachments. You have yet to explain an alternative to Farage's "emotional" aspect.

Obama’s father, and that is debatable...

So you're going with the birther argument?

I can assure you, had no attachment to England.

We're not talking about the parents' attachments, we're talking about the Presidents' attachments. There have been several articles debating whether Obama's antipathy to the UK was due to western anti-colonial sentiments, since his father was born in the British colony of British Kenya.

Again, I'm offering up personal examples of emotional attachments, and you've offered nothing to alternatively explain why Farage said "emotional" and not just "brotherhood of nations" diplospeak.

Just give it up. Everyone with the slightest knowledge of history know that the British and the Americans have had a special relationship.

For centuries, American high schools have a year of American English literature and a year of British literature.

My elementary teachers always pointed out that England was our mother country.

We as a nation use British common law.

“You posted some generic pablum in response to my response...”

You don’t know what the word means.

“So you’re going with the birther argument?”

Again, you don’t know how to use logic. No Kenyan, and no black African, has emotional attachments to England.

“We’re not talking about the parents’ attachments, we’re talking about the Presidents’ attachments.”

Wow. I never said one word about parents’ attachment. Youo must be stupid. Don’t waste your time posting me back, I don’t knowingly read posts from stupid people.
