It’s been astonishingly underreported in U.S. media, but 
apparently Texas has seceded from the United States, and has been recognized as a sovereign nation by the UK government! I saw the Texas embassy with my own eyes, plain as day, mere steps from my hotel. This must be a fairly new development, because the building still has a sign that says “Bar & Grill” on it. Or maybe the “Bar & Grill” sign was just a ruse to keep the U.S. government from knowing of Texas’s big plans, since no one would be crazy enough to put a pub in a building as spectacular as this one.
There is a similar place in Sheffield. Not really my thing, I tend to find they put too much pepper on their steaks for my taste.
Good to see it’s all starting to calm down a bit now that the thin blue line has been thickened up somewhat. Glad to see you’re safe too.
Thanks the_leander. Next time I’m in the UK I’ll be hiring you as my personal security guard.
Glad to hear you’re safe and snarky as usual! Just be aware of what’s going on around you as riots tend to be volatile and unpredictable. Stay in the embassy, you’ll enjoy the full protection of Rick Perry’s Jesus shields.
Heh. I think I want to be sprayed head-to-toe with whatever makes Mitt Romney’s hair helmet so impervious. I’m pretty sure it would stop a bullet, if not, you know, a missile.
