My
Dear Mr. Cleese,
In
light of the recent referendum in which the UK voted to withdraw from the EU,
are we to assume that we Americans will no longer be seeing that snide “Letter to America” from you stating that our independence is being revoked due to our
election outcome and that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be resuming
monarchical duties over the states? After all, the English have now
demonstrated a capacity for being ill-informed at the polls and thereby voting
against their own best interests.
Yes,
ill-informed reactionary voting – it’s a thing now. It seems to be associated
with the popular vote and I suppose we must live with it on both sides of the Atlantic.
You may prefer to call it the Americanization of England. Call it what you will,
but please think twice before sending any more letters to America, and do enjoy
your tea.
Yours
Sincerely,
George Clooney
