By Abigail Pennson, our reasonable, plain-speaking middle-class columnist convinced Trump will go down in history with Alexander the Great
TO make America even greater? Make it larger. I plead with you, President Trump, to end our socialist misery and annex the UK.
We want it. You want it. You’re proud of our Scottish ancestry. We, despite our shameful proximity to garlic-addled Europe, are American in all but name. Let’s make it official. Because we need help.
You may not have noticed, through the typhoon of liberal tears that greeted your stunning victory, but we’re in trouble over here. The wrong side won our election – by a fluke, unrepeatable, won’t ever happen again – and are wrecking Britain.
They’re taxing, they’re spending, they’re doing all the things that would make a great fiscal conservative like yourself recoil in horror, if you didn’t have nerves of steel and a spine of unbreakable titanium clothed in flesh of the most gorgeous bronze.
As they’re ideologically opposed to defence spending they won’t put up a fight. Two aircraft carriers and a few light bombing runs – I recommend Bristol – and you’ll secure the country, And that’s not all.
It’s not just England and Scotland. You’ll get Wales and Northern Ireland thrown in for nothing, a slight discount on their value, and if I were you I’d take Eire as well. The Irish love America, they’ll be delighted.
I know, I know. Your first priority is making Israel the 51st state. I hear and obey. But won’t they accept their destiny all the sooner when we precede them, setting a good example?
Because we want everything you have. We want private healthcare. We want the right to bear automatic weapons firing 45 rounds a minute. We want fracking, the IRS and Fox News.
I believe you already know the future governor of the state of England: Mr Nigel Farage, Esquire. He will serve us at your right hand, unfailingly loyal, evenly tanned.
So please. Make our passports red, white and blue. Make our Royal Family your subjects. Invade us, Trump. Make us your Olde Worlde bitch.
