The Special Relationship Between the UK & US Must End

Oh, you just don't want to admit the inevitability of Britain applying for US statehood.

Territorial status (like Puerto Rico) for your island will have to come first.

Then we send in a crack team of cooking teachers. If they're successful we'll upgrade England to "colonial" status.

We do have a edge. We invented your language.

And the Normans civilized it.

Yeah. They think they did.

British cookery jokes? Seriously? Someone is going to drive up in a brown car shortly, disembark and step in some white dog poo in the process...

No, you invented primitive English, we perfected it.

I don't believe he was talking about the modern day monstrosity from his vantage point.

Somebody better tell the Americans that eh?

You didn't have to "pay for WW2" - you had to pay for YOUR FUCKING SHARE of it.

That's not entirely accurate. They had to pay back about one-tenth of their share.

The Lend-Lease Act made it clear that U.S. aid was a “lease,” not a gift. It was supposed to cease with the end of the war and some form of repayment was expected. The mode of repayment, however, was deliberately left unspecified, and the president could negotiate it separately with each recipient country. Part of the U.S. expenditures was covered through reverse lend-lease. Equipment lost or destroyed in battle was considered a common loss. After the termination of the program, large quantities of lend-lease goods were sold to Great Britain at about 10 cents on the dollar, to be paid off over 60 years at 2 percent interest. The last British payment on the loan was made on December 29, 2006. In 1972 the United States accepted an offer by the Soviet Union to pay $722 million in installments to settle its indebtedness. In general, a large portion of the U.S. Lend-Lease aid was simply written off. Both Roosevelt and his successor Truman considered the fighting and sacrifice of the Allied soldiers to be sufficient repayment.

And if you consider inflation... well, you get the point.

No good deed goes unpunished.

And then they can enlist in our military.

One born every minute. The US isn't broke today without some sort of precedent. Suckers are suckers not heroes. One born every minute of hour of every day. Do you want a camera angle on every mistake it takes to lose a empire?

No, you invented primitive English, we perfected it.

And refined the spelling of it too.

So, you concede that I am right about that. Yay.
Making progress here.
