Is reunification of the US and the UK a possibility?

[speeduk]

Hmm. They fight for their independence from the british empire, just to later give it up?

I think not.

 

[aspirins]

The Union Jack would get pretty messy

 

[Helios1234]

Would that mean it's the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the United States of North America?

Yes

 

[Mickie]

if they gave it up today, it wouldnt be to a british empire ? as we dont have one anymore.. and i think the argument is, we become just another state of america, like hawaii and alaska

We would welcome our errant children back into the loving embrace of Empire.

Thats an awesome line.

The obvious problem with that being one of geography - we aren't in America. Similarly to how America could never join the EU, not being in Europe.

 

[Cybermyk]

Maybe we could get India, Australia and Hong Kong back too

Didn't you know that America joining the UK was going to be the surprise wedding present for Will and Kate?

 

[Robbo]

I hope not. Bloody Americans.

 

[arknor]

Well tbf, they did loan us an awful lot of money and military support during ww2.

we shouldnt be in the eu then by your reconing ? becuase our land mass doesnt touch ? alaska and hawaii are no'were near america :/

the british ampire we did have was stretched out all over the world ? i have no idea what you're talking about..

 

[Angilion]

Only when they got attacked. Before that they did jack all.

They did quite a bit before then, but they charged us a very high price for doing so. Cash, land and copyrights on massively profitable inventions.

Hawaii isn't in America either. Britain isn't that much further away from mainland USA than Hawaii is.

Anglophiles unite. Could live with that...

You mean Obama wasn't born in America after all?

I wonder though if they did a poll in America for the our monarchy to become a kind of commonwealth head they'd probably go for it, Canada/Australia etc seem to love the Queen a lot...while back in the UK it seems like a lot more are against the queen-bee.

Once we've used up all our mineral wealth, realised that we sold all our industry down the river, reduced our armed forces to a few TA units and given every last penny to single mothers, then i fully expect the UK to beg the US to become the 51st State.

About 5 years from now at the rate we're going.
