Don’t forget they attacked us TWICE! First time was the American Revolution and the second time the War of 1812.

I think the Trump Effect will spill over into England and other European countries.

I didn ‘t realize it was a ‘privilege’ to go to the British Isles when I landed there in 1944, prior to D-Day at Normandy——the British Government seemed mighty glad to see the Yanks in those days and their women treated us well—cheers.Semper Paratus. They don't make 'em like you any more. Glad you stepped into the breach and stamped out a few dozen in your image, just in case. Best wishes to you and yours for the coming New Year.

Virtually every post on this thread seems to assume that Trump is actually going to be banned, or is likely to be so. That's simply not going to happen, and it's extremely unlikely that there will even be a Parliamentsary debate in response to this petition (they aren't triggered automatically by 100,000 signatures - there are getouts).

As for British interference in U.S. affairs: surely this all started because a US presidential candidate very publicly commented on British internal affairs. Cameron would have been wiser not to respond, but it was entirely legitimate for him to so if he so chose.

One of the best come backs to arrogant Brits complaining about the United States was something I read from a letter written back in the 1950s.

If you don't like our apples, stop shaking our tree.

See winnie’s post. The ban will not happen, not at all.

We don’t pull our weight, you ungrateful *****?.

We have just fought and died in Iraq and Afghanistan together. And Britain is the second partner in Nato, complete crap we don’t pull our weight.

Dead weight economically?. We are in a better state than you!. YOU are the ones who started the global downturn and YOU are the one multiTRILLIONS in debt. The UK economy has grown since 2010. We are much healthier financially than you.

The only butt is the one you are talking out of.

Nobody won the war of 1812, and YOU burnt Toronto, that’s why the British burnt Washington.

Nonsense, the UK is a safe country and friendly to the US. Ironic being told by an American my country isn’t safe.

And the two men who killed Lee Rigby are in prison for whole life tariffs. And the Muslim overlord comments are the usual pablum we UK freepers have to read here daily.

Can they come here and do it again?

The Revolution was a civil war, where more Americans fought for the Crown or stayed neutral than were ‘rebels’, who WERE the attackers, as they were the rebellers. And the 1812 war was one where both sides were spoiling for a fight.

Oh, and don’t forget YOU attacked Canada in both wars (and got well beaten).

In 1814 we took a little trip along with Col Jackson down the mighty Mississip.

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans and fought the bloody British in a town called New Orleans.

Well we fired our guns and the British kept a comin but there wans’t quite as many as there was a while ago.

So we fired once more and they began a runnin on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. :-)

No they are too busy committing suicide by Muslim.
