That would be something I'd really like to believe, but I'm not sure exactly what they'd do to them other than 'a quiet word'.

There are some people who I'd like to see quietly 'disappeared', but I'm pretty sure that we'd never actually do that - more's the pity. It's just 'not British'!

Same in our country, I'm afraid.

Re: Trump supporters stormed Capital Hill

Hi

Republican or Democrat matters nothing.

It is respect for the Law and Democracy which matters.

I think our Prime Minister is a dangerous, proven liar.

So what?

We had a free and fair election and he was voted in.

I will defend that decision even thougth it was not my personal choice.

That is Democracy for you.

I would have been even more upset if that Lunatic Corbyn had been voted in.

Just think about it, America. I know breaking up is hard to do. We used to be good together. But what is the point of having the “greatest country in the world” if none of us actually like it?

How it may look.

I agree. It is most unlikely.

On the other hand, I find it an interesting scenario.
I haven't time to look at it properly now, so have bookmarked the site. The map of the US is so small and the numbers difficult to read, so I'll have to open the list and the enlarged maps in two different tabs to look at them properly.

New York and New England seem to be a unified country, though, which is interesting as my relatives live there.
We should try to create a trade deal with them.
California? No, I don't think so!
