Sitting with my friend Gil here after dinner I asked her the same question to which she smiled and said "Are you being cheeky?" I said "No, I'm being a twat." She laughed and said "Well I love the idea of it about as much as I like the idea of pirates stealing everything I own." To which I said "No, what I mean is, what would the British people say to that question? Any Brit you stopped in the street; what would be their answer to that question?"

Gil then said "Well if you dont want to go have a pint with the guy, or get told to toss off, they'd probably say--we love the principles of socialism about as much as Americans do. That's why a lot of us emigrate to America you know."
