I think ,ost English people love America most of the time. Marin guitars, Gibson, Fender, Leiber and Stoler, Westerns, Rogers and Hammerstein, Charlie Bir parker, Rev Gary davis... our devotion is immeasurable....

But you gotta admit this guy you've sent over is a bit of a twat.

He reminds me of Thatcher. people like that are scary. After some terrorist outrage - she'd say I'D like to reintroduce capital punishment for terrorists.

I'm against CP anyway. But the prospect was doubly unthinkable - Peace vigils, increased contributions to IRA funds, death row scenarios....

Its a sort of populism. Interesting that both Bush the Younger and Romney were draft dodgers when it came to putting their own lives on the line in the battlefield. there was nothing really to stop the Blessed margaret becoming a WAC either.
