        “This is a horrific illegal act and the UK will not stand for this. We also won’t do anything about it either, because we simply don’t have that kind of force, and given the general vibe of world leaders at the moment, if we make a stand we’d be making it largely alone or with countries who have no firepower. We also need the US for the UK service sector (a.k.a 90% of the economy) to function, and pissing off the manbaby might cripple us. But yes, we won’t stand for this.”
