While they are at it, please make sure and issue financial reparations to all "african-Americans" who were enslaved and deprived of their "civil rights" while England held dominion over the land.

PS Please do not forget to include the interest accrued and additional sums of money for anguish and emotional hardship.

But you are awfull!
You amount to @5% of the worlds population yet you have @25% of the worlds lawyers.
And you incarserate @1% of your citizens.

If you hate the british so much then why not speak another language and skip imperial measurements?

I suggest you start by sending British Troops to confiscate the guns first...ohh wait that didn't work out to good for them the first time.

As for 1% of our citizens being in prison...23% of our federal prisoners are illegal foreigners that's not counting the number of illegals in state prisons.

I don't hate the British, I really enjoy Monty Python, John Cleese, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May, Rowan Atkinson... The British produce some pretty good comedians/actors. Their castles are really impressive. I also really like some of their double rifle makers.

No, thanks. Revocation of American independence is not really an option.

If the Brits want to revoke anyone's independence, they should start at the other end of the alphabet, in Zimbabwe!

Actually, Americans are not so bad.

All they need do is get rid of the bloody lawyers and things will get back to normal

It's a joke by a very funny guy.

John, mate,

We will gladly submit to her magisty the Queen... once you lot either submit to Ms Merkel as representative of the second or third Reich and start speaking deutsch...

Also, please return all weaponry and ships that we leant from 1939- present, inclusive. Please note that your losing them does not abrogate said money's... interest accruing daily. (Our lawyers write better contracts...)

Please note that legal precedent requires you to deal with prior pending cases before discussion with our legal team. We cannot be responsible for your collection of India and Pakistan, and given that considerable legal effort must be undertaken there, our legal team will gladly meet with you thereafter.

We assume Tuesday works well.

We will clear November 22, 3562 for initial discussions.

An ungrateful colonist.

Pretty darn funny guy. Did a fine job making fun of British culture and their lingo.

I agree! Who needs the rule of law?

Give me an autocratic hereditary monarchy any time!

All of us, let’s be honest.

Don’t we all miss George III?

I am revoking Articles 6 and 12, and using the results thereof to revoke the revocation of our independence. In short, any damn limeys who want to pretend to oversee the US and its citizens will be shot.

Interestingly enough, most agree that the legal profession is the one most likely target for automation and AI!

It's mighty easy to poke fun at lawyers until you need one.
What we really need to go after is the politicians! Wait a minute, aren't the majority of them lawyers?

It IS somewhat amusing that many Americans refer to America as a nation of laws, but then don't want lawyers. They seem to still hanker after the "good ol' days" when might meant right! It is sad, however, that many laywers are "ambulance chasers" (just look at the ads on TV) taking their 30% from the damages assessed the victims, but I am not sure what the alternative is. If they don't get their cut, then only the rich can afford lawyers! And, yes, I have used LegalZoom!
Peter.

Yes we have become known as a nation of laws;however we have not been known as a nation of Justice.

but them lawyers work SO HARD for their pittance. just this week on the news it showed a local bottom feeder, i mean lawyer, who threw a $4 million birthday party for his 18 yr old son in san antonio, after he had put out $6 million for his daughters coming out party. around here they throw a party for the girls when they are ready to breed at age 16. how can you possibly fault a profession that rewards preying on others? can you imagine what them kids are gonna turn out like?

Much enhanced since I first saw it after Bush-Gore. AND, the responses indicate -- wrong forum. (It used to be funny. Oh, well.)
