Commitments and liabilities on one side and profits and rule
making on the other, plus high fees for the priviledge??

I think that you'll find that all of those home countries are under the impression that they have a special relationship.
Bit like we have Australia, New Zealand, etc (
).
Note the use of the word ENGLAND??

The USA was a British colony.
Any 4th grader could have told you that.
Don't try to excuse the Scots, Irish or Welsh from their integral
role and benefit from the British Empire.
In fact, when you drill down in to the facts the Scottish in particular have benefitted disproportionately from both THe British Empire generally and from The Slave Trade in particular.
Scotland is only now, reluctantly waking u p to that fact , at least 50 years after England and Wales!!

The first part Moscow you are spot on.
I disagree on the second, we simply do not have the staff to control them if they get back.
It is simple Maths, it takes a Team of 28 to keep each one under observation, that is a Tory Fault when they cut the numbers.
Under Corbyn, Abbott and Lammy it will be a nightmare, even worse.
No profiling, no stop and search, free rein to destroy us.
I want no part of that, they are Terrorists, out to kill us and our kids.
My simple view of life.
Anyone who Votes for Corbyn puts their kids and grand-kids at risk.
It is simply not for me.

Maybe UK should withdraw the international driving permits from all us citizens in the UK with diplomatic immunity and let them use drivers who can be held culpable. Problem is that Johnson, Rabb and the rest of the cabinet are desperate to suck up to the US and will roll over to have their bellies tickled by Trump and Pompeo and it would never happen
