I was so happy he called as I was anxious to talk a little international politics with him (on his shilling, of course, lol).
The upshot of the conversation was that President Trump is very, very popular in Shakespeare's "sceptred isle". The folks there are looking forward to their Prime Minister's scheduled visit with Trump next week...and the general mood my cousin senses is one similar to ours...excitement, hope and confidence....and great expectations for a fruitful and close relationship between the President and Prime Minister Theresa May who is representing our long-time ally in this DC "summit".
My cousin is a great fan of Nigel Farage, the former leader of the UK Independence Party who was also the figurehead of (and one of the brains behind) the successful Brexit movement...and a great Trump supporter, to boot!
When I told him that the highest-rated cable news network here had signed Nigel on as a regular commentator, he was delighted...and he sounded quite proud!
The motto of England is "Dieu et mon droit" (God and My Right)
Our motto right now is "Make America Great Again".
A winning combination for our two great English-speaking nations!

Let’s get the bust of Churchill back and do some kind of public thank you to the UK
This morning’s news I hear the SCOGB (supreme court in GB) said Brexit cannot go ahead without approval from parliament. So...the unelected justices have more power than all the voters? None of the three branches, should be superior to a nationwide referendum by the people.
