You guys love to make fun of our accents and mannerisms (among other things). Well... we sometimes like to make fun of you.

(PBS is our BBC)

Also, is that how promiscuous, young alcoholic women in the UK look? Hair up with short skirts or denim cut-off shorts?

We know. But we don't care.
Nobody does a better job of making fun of the brits than the bits do.

Also, is that how promiscuous, young alcoholic women in the UK look? Hair up with short skirts or denim cut-off shorts?

Well...

And this  character

is a well known part of this show.

Good luck doing a better job a better job of taking the piss out of Britain than the brits.

It wasn't nearly as funny as the real thing. Self-deprecation is the foundation of British humor. One of the winners in the actual show was a cake model of the pub owned by the contestant's parents. The detail was astounding, including a pool table standing on a sticky carpet.

We tend to greater precision in our language. A nation that doesn't have baths in most of its bathrooms, or beds in any of its restrooms, has no authority in that matter. The apposite (and much funnier) word at 1:59 is "toilet", for chrissake. Not sure about "suck on it" either - "shove it" would be closer to the British demotic.

That said, it must nevertheless be admitted that the USA is the country of equal opportunity. Nowhere else could a lying, draft-dodging, illiterate, bankrupt moron get to be president. And not just George W Bush - twice. You have been warned.

Bill Clinton was a draft dodger too.

But insufficiently qualified in the dark arts of deceit and failure to run as a Republican.

Everyone I've lived with and worked with, from coast to coast, has been charming, intelligent, honest and industrious, but somehow the lunatics end up running the asylum. Where did it all go wrong?

It's important to remember that Boris is an immigrant from America.

I thought they where from texas ?

[alancalverd]

Last time I visited, Texas was in America.

It's a bit like Yorkshire, without the culture.

I'll give Texans a bit of credit for self-mockery, though. Invited out for lunch with a Stetson-wearing colleague in DC, we walked into a car park dominated by an aircraft carrier on wheels. "Can ya guess which one is mine, buddy?" He opened the door and said "Just walk around and find somewhere to sit." But the steak was excellent.

Last time I visited Texas, it was a DIY store.

What the hell do you know about how to run as a republican? You're British. You see me giving my thoughts about the workings of the tories or the BNP?

Boris Johnson is British, speaks with a British accent and is a family man that is a crusader for good health.

For reasons of cheap journalism, everything that your dictator does or says is faithfully repeated on UK television. Believe me, we know how it's done. Anyone who has watched the Nuremberg rallies has seen it all before.

Boris Johnson is British, speaks with a British accent and is a family man that is a crusader for good health.

You jest, surely. The man is a philanderer and a political opportunist whose blatant disregard for simple science is responsible for 45,000 avoidable deaths.

Johnson was born on 19 June 1964 in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City.....in the autumn term of 1977 he began using as his given name Boris rather than Alex, and developed "the eccentric English persona" for which he became famous......School reports complained about his idleness, complacency, and lateness,

Conrad Black called him  "ineffably duplicitous". Who better to judge.

So there it is: pretentious, idle, complacent and procrastinatory,. Not that it matters, because all Cabinet decisions in the UK are made by Dominic Cummings, who knows where the bodies are buried.

You are aware that david cameron (prime minister 2010 to 2017 ) and boris just so happened to attend oxford at the same time. Plus george osbourne (chancellor for some time under Mr cameron) awas also at oxford with johnsons brother.

Along with eton and other elite institutions they all come through together(certainly not cambridge though). Literally a effing sham.

So did I.
Indeed I was at college with Cameron. (I vaguely knew Boris from his Union hacking).

So what?

I assume that's irony.

Oxford men are not all moronic pigshaggers. Indeed my sparring partner BC can behave like a gentleman when the mood takes him, and Bill Clinton (alto sax and University College Oxford) annoyed the Republicans by actually having sex with a live human.

It's true that they all went to Oxford.
I'd imagine it's also true that they all drink wine, have two arms...
The relevant common factor is that they are all Tories. That's what makes it easy to identify them as lying selfish bastards*.

*that's "bastards" in the less technical sense; I really don't care if their mothers were married to their fathers.

[Pseudoscience-is-malarkey (OP)]

I've learned a few things on this post.
1. Not only do Republicans not have sex with live humans, but they also get offended when other people do.
2. Trump (who I hate, by way) is just as worse as Hitler.
3. Texas is completely cultureless.
4. If you're born here in the U.S. you're most likely destined to be stupid and everything that goes along with it.
 
(and yes, in regards to my Boris Johnson quip, I was being facetious. It was a sarcastic response to your doughy PM's campaign to fight British obesity.)

[alancalverd]

Almost correct, except for one very important point.

The majority of US citizens are thoughtful intelligent and moral people, as evidenced by the last presidential election. The problem is that their votes don't count, as evidenced by the last presidential election.

δεμοσ - the people. κρασοσ - the worst. ∴ democracy = government by the worst people. QED.

Prediction: more of the same.

Not that the UK is much better. The prime minister is chosen by 90,001 paid-up members of the conservative party, does what he is told by an unelected moron who is above the law, and is treated like a president by everyone else.

I think thats streching it, when was the last time any priminister got elected  0n 50 percent vote share ? First past the post in constituencies, to get 50 percent of seats. 0.5 of constituencies x 33 percent of the  vote in said constituencies  equals you can get elected on 16.5 percent of the vote, which is perfectly feasible. Such cannot happen in america.

[Bored chemist]

Such cannot happen in america.

In America, in a two horse race, the candidate with fewer votes (46% vs 48%) became president.
In the UK the guy with less than half the votes (44%) became PM.
The two systems are pretty much as bad as each other.
