To my fellow subjects of Her Britannic Majesty; share my lament that our Prime Minister, has announced that he will not stand at the next General Election, thereby leaving us with a leader who no longer has any credibility, and has signalled that anything he says means nothing in the long term.

He has left us looking leaderless and lacking any credibility on the world stage.



To my friends who are Citizens of the United States of America, share my lament that your President has appointed advisors and Secretaries of State who contradict the very foundation of what he has extolled as his core policies, thereby leaving you with a leader who no longer has any credibility, and has signalled that anything he says means nothing in the long term.

He has left you looking leaderless and lacking any credibility on the world stage.

Long Live the Special Relationship!

When exactly was the last time Great Britain had credibility on the world stage? 1815?

Yes, but only after torturing and imprisoning him at the Tower for several years.

They have Nuclear Weapons and are on the Security Council. Therefore, like France, they matter on the world stage!

At least that's what they keep telling us...


These days, there is a lot of talk in the UK about renewing their nuclear weapons. They will cost tens of millions of pounds, and will almost certainly never be used. I was listening to some idiot tabloid columnist on radio debating with an ex-Tory MP about this. And the main argument of the tabloid columnist was this:

"Our country is called "Great-Britain"! Great!! How can we be great without nuclear weapons?! It's our standing on the world stage that is at stake!? So let's the keep the Great in Great-Britain by keeping the nuclear weapons!"

Boy, that was deep. So for all you Great-Britain haters, or doubters, suck it up. We (or rather, "they") have nukes, and they're great. Are you the Great United States of America? Nooooo, you're just plain old U.S.A...

So please, get a superlative adjective in front of your country before you talk about Great-Britain's credibility on the world stage, mmmkay?

As forum premium titles show, anyone can have a self-appointed superlative.
