Above Our Weight

Uppity colonials are once more wielding the blunt blade of protectionist isolationism to sacrifice the sacred cow of free trade upon the pagan altar of fanatical ideological wokeness. The chair of Washington's ways and means committee has reiterated that the US will not countenance a bilateral trade deal with the master race if Global Britain continues trying to undermine the Good Friday agreement. The National Johnson and his Northern Ireland flunkey have both given their personal assurance, for whatever it may be worth, that they have no desire to jeopardise the Good Friday agreement, as opposed to sitting back and pulling funny faces while others jeopardise it on their behalf. Nevertheless, a US trade minister has already blown an insouciant Churchillian raspberry at the idea that the Americans have much reason to bother with the UK now that it can no longer fulfil its traditional role as an Atlanticist brake on the beastly Euro-wogs. With such ingratitude openly on display, we may be closer than we imagine to the spectre of a Boston Marmite party.
