Is anyone moving to the UK? I kinda like that guy Cameron. But I like better that I'm moving to Texas.
Cameron panders to muslims and foreigners.
I guarantee you, he only believes Jeb or Clinton should be his next partner in business.
Boehner is way more conservative than David Cameron.
Correct , the “Conservatives” in the Uk are akin to the Establishment GOP over here.
Cameron would be holding a month long press conference every time Louie Gohmert or Steve King said something.
If you like a country where Cameron’s first term included police and fire budgets cut five to ten percent, whose defense budget has been cut and a country whose national debt doubled under Cameron.
If you like the David Cameron who came to Washington several months ago to lobby US Senators for Obama’s Iran nuclear deal be my guest.
If you like the legalization of gay marriage by Cameron in his first term.
And the list goes on.....be my guest and move to the UK.....sarc.....
Oh well, wishful thinking.
Nope. Nuhuh. Ain't gonna happen...
Maggie Thatcher was the last real conservative in English politics. And after she saved the country, she was pushed out by the establishment Conservatives, who hated her guts.
I have English cousins, half my ancestors are English, I’ve spent some time over there, and I really like the English countryside and English traditions. But I’m afraid there’s not much of that left any more.
Another thing about Cameron.
He and his party spread fear of the Scottish Nationalists working with the Labour Party if Labour won.
Word from last night on leaked out in the media is that Cameron will offer Scotland new autonomous powers including their own budget and taxation powers.
After trashing Scottish Nationalism to win the election Cameron plans to appease them.
“Flip-Flop” is the expression that comes to my mind.
Brits are leaving England in droves and moving to France. They say “England isn’t England any more.”
What sad state of affairs for the once great British Empire. Say what you like but when you look around the world nearly all of the most successful, civilized, and prosperous parts are former British colonies. I guess it’s too bad Britain wasn’t among them. :-)
I love England. The countryside, the traditions, the history...But England as it was doesn't exist anymore, except in the hearts of those who love what is once was.
Only for five months next year.
My daughter and son-in-law live there — the blandishment of two permanent academic jobs at the same university was too strong to resist — and there a university within an hour by train of theirs that is very good in my area of mathematics.
Cameron *is* a good fellow by British standards, but Britain is already decades ahead of the U.S. in terms of decay. As my daughter observes, in the U.S. only the uninsured have lousy medical care, in Britain, everyone has lousy medical care! thanks to the NHS — think of the VA scandals here and imagine everyone getting that sort of health care, why anyone thought a veterans-only analogue of the NHS was a good idea is beyond me.) They are also culturally in love with bureaucracy, and don’t have a robust analogue of the First Amendment, or any analogue of the Second (they actually periodically have serious knife-control legislation proposals from time to time, since the weapon of choice under their gun control regime for street crime is a long-bladed kitchen knife).
Cameron pushed through legalizing gay marriage and forcing religious organizations to support gay marriage.
The Englishmen of 1940 stood against Hitler and his monster empire, and they won.
Those Englishmen have mostly died both of old age AND despair over the fate of the Realm.
And who is left who has seen it all? Her Majesty the Queen, a magnificent and lovely lady yet.
Welcome to Texas (I think...)
This is absolutely freaking hilarious!
Citizens of the nation with the most left-wing government in the developed world, a nation that not just elected an anti-American, Marxist university lecturer but then re-elected him are sneering at the wussified, milktoast, liberal latte-sipping Brits who just managed to re-elect a conservative prime minister who saw off a challenge from a far-left socialist party that was advised by Axelrod.
You couldn’t make this up.
Hey, you big-talking, free-market, straight-shooting, right-wing Americans, you live in the only nation in the Anglo-sphere and almost alone among the major developed economies of Europe that has a left-wing government.
Get over yourselves and start asking those buck-tooth Brits, pansy waist Canucks and Euroweenies how to get rid of socialists, coz right now you really need all the help you can get!
LOL... Brilliantly put, and well taken, sir. :-)
We do indeed have no room to gloat. I would only say that we both suffer from the same affliction, to greater or lesser degrees in different places. What prosperity manages to bubble to the surface now and then is in spite of, not because of, either of our putrid necrotic bureaucracies.
Wow! Thanks for the education. My only experience in England was when my ship was in Southampton. We were in uniform and some British thugs tried to start a fight with us because they thought we were French. We quickly straightened them out. I guess they didn’t appreciate the French helping us in the Revolution. So they can keep Cameron and I will gladly move to Texas and help them keep the faith.
