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

I doubt it is. It can't be. It has the 'so many people like him' line, which tries to convince you to go with the suposed consensus, and it makes it so obvious.

I wish this shit would fuck off these boards.

There are very few people I know that don't think he's a bellend. The ones that sort of think he's a good idea are the types that think you have to burn something down in order to repair it.

Given that i think a huge part of our population would strongly resist this and we would have international military support if we needed it, this is astonishingly unlikely. The rest of the world would band together if the USA dared to try and take over a large developed economy.

And there is not a lot of UK support for trump
Most of us think he's a twat?

Hahahaha….. yeah right as in Trump does know what the U.K. has become. BTW it is not that he has a lot of support here is that we are to the neck on shit from every side. Therefore, we will get a Trump equivalent here to clean the mess.

What a ridiculous post.

Seriously the US should aim higher. They usually go for places with natural resources like oil.

We have whisky and benefit claimants as growth industries if you believe Reform

No need to bother with that question mark.😂

I'd really love to know how many people in UK who think it's a good idea for us to become another state of USA were the same ones who voted for Brexit?
Can they not see the irony?

As I suggested, they weren't the brightest and best.

Why not give him the whole world? He seems ready to take it!

Now, seriously, nope UK will always be UK, thanks.

Have you seen these titans who suggest this? They are usually the last kind of people who would do well out of it.

The US doesn't want our crumbs. They like winners.

OP!

May be check the state of knife crime and the NHS which is as bad as not having any safety net. When was last time you saw a police officer patrolling your area.

Trump is turning illegal immigrants back, and doing what he says he would. What do our government do? 🤔 Im.a Trump fan

I believe your family would miss even the crappo NHS @dottiehens - or are your family and friends all strong as an ox and so wealthy they can do without

It continues to astound me that Americans continue this false narrative that their healthcare system is so wonderful because they don’t want a ‘socialist’ system (UK, Canada etc).

Sure your insurance in the US has to pay but the kind of insurance you have and how much you pay are dependant on your individual wealth (or company healthcare scheme). Poor Americans receive exceptionally poor care because they can’t pay for it or afford it (despite a drive to make this better with Medicaid or whatever Obamacare is being called now).

You give an example so I’ll give one too. American citizen from birth - motorcycle fell over on them - stationary so not riding. Femur break and surgery needed. Cost? 180,000 dollars. Let that sink in 180,000 dollars.Insurance paid 100,000 ONLY. Friend in their early 20’s now lumped with a 80,000 bill. These things do happen. Canadian cost - zero. UK cost - zero.

Your system isn’t better and ours isn’t socialist. I can easily choose my doctor. When my father needed complex surgery he was given the choice of five hospitals and dates for each. Sure in super rural parts of Canada there is much much less choice but that’s geography not socialism.

What is wrong with benefit claimants. So if you lose your job for whatever reason, you can't claim benefits?

@tammy98 - taking the piss out the idea, and indeed how Reform think.

That's awful..

Ha ha ha!
NO. NO. NO.

Lol as I said tough talk, go for it if it makes you feel like you're... something

As for taking the thread seriously it takes all types

@EasternStandard I never had you down as so sensitive

Knife crime is higher per capita in the US than the U.K. and of course they have a massive gun crime rate.

Being part of a continent isn't a state of mind. It is what it is.

We are an island at the end of the day, so our influences are more solitary and separate that that of mainland Europe but I do think most of us (general rhetoric and feckery of the gammonati aside) do think of ourselves as European. Because we are.

American, though?

Hell, no.

We are lazy when it comes to learning other languages here, BUT, in our defence, the vast majority of EU citizens learn English as their second language. We can't learn French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Icelandic...........ad infinitum.

Another urban legend.

What happens to people who are uninsured?

You hate immigrants so much that you're happy to overlook the fact that he's a felon, rapist, racist and general all round piece of shit?!!

Lovely.
