  1. From the United States, I wish for a brighter future for the United Kingdom and for strong cooperation among all the English-speaking nations of the world.

  3. Anonymous Commentator — And in the United States.

  4. Angela Porisky — It’s just rhetoric. He is appealing for sympathy.

  5. Sam T — A credible oppossition cannot include extremists. It doesn’t matter what they do. Moderates must try to get along without them.

  6. Looking from a ross the pond, it seems to me that Johnson succeeded where the previous PM failed, on the main thing, at least.

  7. John Augsbury — But, as Americans, Meghan is our dog!

  8. klou32 — Neither do rightists.

  9. 4TheRecord — It is interesting that the Constitution of Canada does not provide fot the Queen popping off: “The Executive Government and Authority of and over Canada is hereby declared to continue and be vested in the Queen.” I can’t find anything in the document about the Queen’s successors.

  10. “catastrophic”? That’s so overwrought. Does anyone remember when Britain stood alone against fascism in Europe? That was a real threat of catastrophe, but the British wanted to remain free. It was before my time, but I do remember when Britain stood up to fascism in Argentina to defend its people in The Falklands. That was a near catastrophe for the Falkland Islanders, but liberty is worth fighting for (or used to be). Today, a significant number of Britons seem to be afraid of liberty, lest it cost them some inconvenience, so they imagine it will be a “catastrophe.” They don’t know the meaning of the word.

  11. Ava Limpa — There are no new developments regarding Andrew. You just want to discuss him because the topic is more salacious. There must be a channel devoted to him. If not, why don’t you start one?

  12. Dog's Opinion — No, I don’t wonder. The wonder is that so many people have resisted it.

  13. cheese burger — I don’t think you can use his name. He is the “right honourable member from (wherever)” or the “gentleman on the front bench opposite” or something like that.

  14. chief0174 — On the contrary, every forum on Harry that I read contains posts about Andrew and Epstein, like this one. There are no new developments on Andrew that need discussion, but there ought to be a place where people obsessed with the subject can flog it. This isn’t it.

  15. Chlorine and chlorine dioxide are gasses. They do not remain in food products in significant amounts. The thing to worry about in chicken is Campylobacter jejuni, a naturally occuring pathogen which can cause serious illnesses.

  16. Joanelizabeth — I’m American and part of a small minority who listen to Farage. I doubt one in a thousand knows who he is.

  17. Sagittarius — Tired jokes, and unfitting. Every nation bordering on Germany crumbled at the start of WW II. Except Switzerland, which was neutral and of no use to Germany.

  18. Shogun 1958 — No. You won’t be speaking a different language. You won’t start driving on the right. Who said it would all be different?

  19. macpduff — There wasn’t much lunacy in the US after the last election, but there was a lot of dismay.

  20. Connor — She was offended that Farage was flouting the rules.

  21. Voice of the North — He got mostly what he wanted, though. You have a simplistic understanding of politics.

  22. Blakes Liberator — No.

  23. Big White — Farage has inserted himself into partisan politics in the USA. That disqualifies him for the position of ambassador.

  24. Katy Hibbert — It shouldn’t even matter if the space is requested by a winner or a loser. If it for a legal purpose, the politics should not enter into it at all.

  25. Vacuum guys — And Louis, in a few years.

  26. Props to Farage for his perserverance and eventual success, although partial, but I wish he would stay out of our American politics. Many Americans are looking forward to the day we will be rid of the clown.

  27. It seems a strange system to me, an American. I understand why electing a party leader for the party at large would take a long time, but it seems to me the caucus of Labour MPs ought to be able to pick their leader in the Commons in a day. It just illustrates a difference between the Westminster system and the American Congress. Our majority and minority leaders are not leaders of the entire party nor candidates for the top job.

  29. Chris Town — Keep a close eye on them.

  30. David Avery — Why shouldn’t anybody get air time? I don’t know who he is but I expect there are those who are interested in him. In today’s technological world there is room for everybody.

  31. Pretty silly. Once, in the United States, there were some people who refused to use the ten-cent piece (“dime”) when Franklin Roosevelt’s image was placed on it. Today, I suppose a lot of Americans don’t even know who is on it.

  32. Centrioless — Scotland only recently voted to remain in the United Kingdom. There should not be another vote anytime soon.

  33. Richard Mason — Because this host likes him. It’s her choice.

  34. I’m not familiar with Prince Charles’s views on this subject, but President Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about (as with many things). Climate science, and science generally, is not political. The place to get information on climate change is the Royal Society*, not politicians. *Climate Change — Evidence & Causes, a joint publication with the US National Academy of Sciences

  35. MeesterDash — Yet here you are, writing about them. Farage may pick any topic which interests him for his program. Nobody is required to tune in.

  36. Any group ought to be able to arrange to use public property for a special event. What other people think about their politics is irrelevant.

  37. The Conservatives can give back a few of those new seats in the nxt election and still have a strong majority.

  38. I don’t see anything wrong with her sticking to her position, in principle. An MP represents the people of her constituency, just as a member of the US House of Representatives represents the people of a legislative district. It is their positions that matter. However, once a national issue has been decided, a member of a legislative body should accept that it is decided and not argue it endlessly as if it could be changed. At some point it is over. That does not mean she should change her opinion or vote in favor of some question which is put before her which she opposes.

  39. Mark. — I don’t think so. William and Kate will energize the monarchists.

  40. Ayon Dash — No, he as just drawing an analogy.

  41. I hope Farage will keep an eye on this process and report on it. He’s the only person who has been reporting clearly on the details.

  42. jake atkinson — People who are that silly deserve to be ridiculed. I’ll bet the vast majority of people who favored “remain” are not so bitter as to refuse to use a commemorative coin. Those are the people who should become reconciled to the new order.

  43. That is a minority view among Americans, I assure all Brits reading this.
