To think eventually, UK could become a part of the USA?

[CyanSeal]

Depending on how Trump gets on … he doesn’t seem shy about taking over other countries. On paper it would make sense globally for the UK and the USA to become one … USA, Canada,UK - what a superpower that would be.

on top of this, there is a hell of a lot of UK support for Trump, I don’t even think the British would object to a takeover on the whole

Seems far fetched I know - but less far fetched that it did a few years ago

Ah so you accept we were being dictated to, yet you want to re-join. Proved my point regarding the hypocrisy of pp effectively saying 'we don't want to be bossed around' whilst simultaneously advocating for readmission to the EU. It makes me laugh! Though we have left, it was with retained legislation. Funny how you completely ignored addressing the fact our economy grew after Brexit despite repeating parrot fashion the BBC spiel of economic collapse. I'm still yet to see it.

Move to America if you want to be American. I would jump off the planet if America took over the UK. I can't think of many things worse than being American/part of America! SHUDDER 😖

It will never happen though. As I said, the British wouldn't let in happen. No-one in their right mind would want this to happen.

Well take it up with Economist… I didn’t write the fucking article

@Ddndka Not what this thread is about. But all insurance systems spend about 5% to 20% of their total expenditure on selling insurance, processing copays, and dealing with fraud. So our health costs would rise by a minimum of 5% over night, even with no change in our health budget. And the UK spends below the EU average on healthcare.

I don’t know anyone who supports him. So will we start talking in American accents, have tax added on top of the price tag, have guns for sale in the middle aisle of Lidl and no socialised healthcare, no price regulated pharmaceuticals and probably no pavements (or should that be sidewalks?).

And all that would happen is what is happened to US dentistry. A small number of state funded places for healthcare. Some covered by insurance (you have dentistry insurance offered by most private dentists), and people who can afford neither having to pay for what they can afford.

The state of children's teeth in the UK has declined dramatically since NHS dentistry was ruined.

I would also have thought the fairy tale that privatising services makes them better would have disappeared with the state of the privatised railways.

There is not a hell of a lot of UK support for Trump, most people think he’s deranged

Is MN so globally influential that it's worthy of such close attention from the Trump nutters? Mums, grannies, kids. Anyone might suppose they're emotionally over-invested.

Yes, absolutely. He ran on reducing military commitments, especially commitments to NATO. You vastly overestimate your military value to us. The US can project all the power it wants without the UK. NATO is a protectorate, not a true alliance, and the American people are beyond tired of protecting you.

I'm not trying to be goady, but I spent much of my career in strategic planning and I know what I'm talking about. The UK is not strategically important to the US.

You think there's a lot of UK support for Trump? You need better friends and associates.

No, Britain would retake the USA and it would resume its colonial status. (joking)

(and also haven't rtft so apologies if I am repeating.)

And the privatised water service.💩🤮

And That’s a how a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and probable dementia patient in thrall to religious nutjobs, foreign powers and biliionaire tech bro’s gets elected.

I think it's unlikely.

Who has privatized water service?

OP seek help now, you have lost your marbles.

@serendipityjane

Why would that make it an impossibility? Obviously a transition like that would require a new constitution, a codified one. Plenty of people were calling for one when Johnson prorogued parliament. I don't get your point

I know! Its truly dreadful.

Misogynist much? I am a woman, a wife and a mother. And this forum is unique. We really don't have anything like it in the US. Reddit is a cesspool.

We all do in England.

Are you seriously daft? 🤣

Anyone who thinks there is a lot of support for Trump here is deluded.

The UK is not strategically important to the US.
The average Brit, mumsnetter or not, does not want to hear this.

By the end of this term NATO will probably stand for North American Treaty Organization.

But apparently King Charles is going to pull an Empire out the back of the sofa, mount his trusty steed and lead a team of ladies to a beach.
