    Without even reading the article I’ll bet Betterridge’s law of headlines applies

    en.wikipedia.org/…/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines

    Betteridge’s law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.

    Maybe we need a new special relationship…

      God no. French are the pettiest most arrogant cunts in the world.

      The British will want something even if the rest of Europe agrees and France will argue about fish.

        I know Brits like to joke about the French but I like France. And they’re a pretty similar country to the UK from a geopolitical standpoint. Both countries have their own nukes, both are permanent members of the UN Security Council, and both have very similarly sized populations and economies (both have about 68 million people, while Germany has 83 million people).

        So maybe France is a natural European ally for the UK. And of course France is right next to the UK.

    Some US elites absolutely love us and have ‘afternoon tea’, including (inexplicably) cucumber sandwiches. The current crop of wankers don’t give two shits about us and wouldn’t piss on us if we were on fire.
