“This piece reminds me of the articles in the UK press that make it seem as if all Americans exchange gunfire on the way to work, get mugged at lunch, and lynch someone on the way home.”
Ahh, I see that you also have spent some “quality time” in Baltimore.
Fun town…fun,fun town!
” The Brit taxpayers, like us, are too busy working to go to rallies. That country has always stood with us and we with them: they’ve been a great ally and posters ought to distinguish between the UK and, say, the Belgians or the French.”
Hear-hear! Almost to a man, the Limeys I’ve met and worked with have been salt-of-the-Earth, (although also peculiar to an endearing degree).
The ones with an attitude, especially when met on this side of The Water, adjust their attitude lickety-split after getting thumped in the nugget once or twice…just so they no longer harbor any illusions that their unthinking anti-American BS is going to be put up with.
And if they don’t snap out of it, then at least the sodding little buggers now have a REASON to hate Americans. And they go running home to Blighty with a fist-sized crater in their skulls.
But as I said, that’s been the case maybe twice out of dozens and dozens that I’ve known.
