British Lose Right to Claim That Americans Are Dumber

By Andy BorowitzJune 24, 2016

Quote:

LONDON (The Borowitz Report) — Across the United Kingdom on Friday, Britons mourned their long-cherished right to claim that Americans were significantly dumber than they are.

Luxuriating in the superiority of their intellect over Americans’ has long been a favorite pastime in Britain, surpassing in popularity such games as cricket, darts, and snooker.

But, according to Alistair Dorrinson, a pub owner in North London, British voters have done irreparable damage to the “most enjoyable sport this nation has ever known: namely, treating Americans like idiots.”

“When our countrymen cast their votes yesterday, they didn’t realize they were destroying the most precious leisure activity this nation has ever known,” he said. “Wankers.”

In the face of this startling display of national idiocy, Dorrinson still mustered some of the resilience for which the British people are known. “This is a dark day,” he said. “But I hold out hope that, come November, Americans could become dumber than us once more.”

Boris Johnson's government is privately 'desperate' for Trump to lose the election to Joe Biden

https://www.businessinsider.com/dona...johnson-2020-7

Boris Johnson's government privately wants Donald Trump to lose the upcoming presidential election to Joe Biden, according to a new report.

UK government sources told the Sunday Times that Johnson has been trying to distance itself from the Trump administration in anticipation of a potential Biden victory.

Johnson's government has reportedly ditched plans to sign a trade deal with Trump this year, saying they don't want to be bounced into one by the president.

A senior UK diplomat told Business Insider that a Biden victory would bring an end to the "venal corruption" of the Trump era.

Even the Johnson government can't abide the current US shitstorm. Though they seems able to abide their own....

From the Business Insider article..."A lot of stuff will change if Biden wins...the venal corruption of the Trump family...."

WTF!

Johnson is indeed between a rock and an hard place.
