I just turned off CNN and MSNOW . . .

27. I worked down at my local pub...

last night. I pick up a few shifts here and there. Most locals are pretty moderate to left leaning. The owner is very left as are most of us staff. None are happy with Kier Starmer (nor am I), but do appreciate his vehemence in keeping us out of this quagmire. Anyway I digress…
As I walked in for my shift last evening, one of our regulars was in. Hadn’t seen him for awhile and I do like him quite a lot. He’s a retired police officer, comes in once a month nowadays, downs about 10 pints of ale and then his delightful wife comes to fetch him. Anyway, he says to me “it’s decided, you’re just British now [cue other locals nodding in agreement]. We can’t have you associated with that lump of shit any longer. Make sure they let you leave the next time you’re in the US, or we’ll get the local MP involved.”
I chuckled. We then discussed the absolute degradation in the relationship between the two countries. Such a shame really.
