Well, at least I am with this level of irony 👄

      They are also an Israeli vassal state so it isn’t much of a change.

      And yes I’m aware of andrew and the diplomat but they were publicly caught selling state secrets, the Epstein blackmail was not the issue. There is no way in hell those are the only two powerful brits Epstein and Maxwell got.

          But the surveillance state is more fully formed. They’re cooked too just in a blander way

            Tis the British Way.

            Built the biggest navy in the world…to protect the biggest company in the world…to trade with India… And yet is known for the most bland food.

            Trump really should’ve handled the US “trade deficits” with China the same way the British did. Would’ve been much more interesting.

              I’m British, and south Asian curries are very popular in the UK. Probably every town has an Indian restaurant (apparently many of them are run by Bangladeshis, but they’re still commonly called Indian restaurants).

              Chicken tikka masala is known as a national dish in the UK. Also there is coronation chicken, a British dish made with Indian spices, which was first made for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

            The US surveillance state is definitely more fully formed. You are just not as aware of it as of the British cctv cameras.

        They are not in a war with Iran right now.
