Going to Europe would be a waste of time anyway.
Over the years, I've been fortunate to be able to travel to Europe quite frequently. It really is (was?) quite nice - it's easy to see why so many Euros stayed put & never left.
One thing that never ceases to strike me is to consider just how terrible it must have been to cause someone to uproot everything in their life - most importantly family - and strike off for an unknown, harsh place like N America (or Australia). No safety net, no health care, no welfare, if you dropped or got sick, you simply died there in the mud and no one cared or tried to help.
We Americans are the descendants of these hardy pioneers. Euros may be our cousins, but we really are different. Euros think we are loud & brutish, and I guess we are in the context of the culture they come from. The English really are polite - like a Lab that was bred to be friendly, any rough types were either sent to the gallows or overseas, leaving only the meek and mild behind.
The common people could survive as long as their 'betters' thought it was in their own best interests to protect the country. But, once the elite realized they could make a financial killing (after all, the nobility still owns something like 90% of all the land) from open borders, then the flood gates were let open.
Who speaks for the commoner? No one, that's who. And if you even so much as utter anything remotely controversial (sectarian) in public, you can be arrested and sentenced to jail. It's only now that the English are apparently waking up to realize the trap in which they find themselves.
You are right and I should have been more specific because that is what I had in mind when I posted.
Twin SUs, what a joy.
Am I the only one that dreamed of dual throat Webers to replace the SU pots?

And no you are not.
(68 GT6, 72 GT6 MKIII, 71 MGB GT, and a 62 MGA roadster with a Jedson supercharger)
And for all the complaining, I ran my GT6’s every day and scored well over 100,000 miles on each. Now the MG’s are a different story........................
He should fly over anyway and have AF1 do a low slow fly by over London with s big MAGA banner towed behind it!
Thank you for that thoughtful reply! Very interesting, all of it.

Mary, Mother of Mercy, I love this man!
I once heard a body language expert analyze this unpleasant Piece of Work. She pointed to many examples of body language that showed May to be a hypocrite and a liar. She’s a good fit with the EU, and is no true patriot for the U.K.
