I like this one, it illustrates it perfectly.
The mighty and proud united states reduced to a paid thug enslaved to a decaying corrupt fascist, in more ways than one.
When you think of the great men of americas past from the founding fathers through to Lincoln and Teddy and FDR.
They'd all be emigrating right now.
Washington would have stayed on his farm in england if he knew it would come to this.

The American revolution would've happened with or without Washington help.

Slight correction here (great post as always) : Washington was born in Virginia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington

I stand corrected.
I actually live less than 20 minutes from Sulgrave and I remember visiting as a child before I had any real inclination to history, they happily market it to visitors as "Home of George Washington".
I guess its just to sell tours.

Well, perhaps it (is/was) a family property- many estates are mentioned in the Wikipedia article Washington Family.

Yeah it was where they lived a generation or so before he was born but I dont think he ever visited

The sad thing is, if the US didn't disconnect with Britain, it would be Britain doing this now, instead of helping.

Perhaps but its hard to say, zionism how experienced ups and downs in the UK, where as its been on the up in America since the 1820s.

Colonialists gonna colonise.. I doubt a British America would be much different, maybe just a little sooner to join the world wars, and Dr Who would have a bigger budget.

Come now, we do have some sense, we'd have sent Dr who to be made in Canada, the home of true sci fi.

Does it rain as much as wales there? yeah.. ok I can see that gravy train. Random obscure fact: the national botanic garden of Wales has a desert biome as it's main attraction :D

Ive only ever been to wales twice, once to see a cup final Liverpool played in whilst the new Wembley was still being built and once to watch Swansea city who I developed a weird fondness for.
Its a beautiful country though, sadly neglected like much of the UK nowadays. Government doesnt care for anything more than 10 miles outside London.
