Would he like his US to be partly governed by a amalgamation of Mexican and South American countries?

No the US are not in the least bothered about the British people, they just selfishly want to use UK as a voice in European affairs.

I think that it mostly boils down to anti-Americanism or, as some of you would say, anti-septicism.

I use good old Canadian Ozonal for anti-sceptism. :-)

[stuey]

Retro, I also mentioned "boils" in my above post: Does it work on those too?:)

He shouldn't 'dabble' in British politics. Simple answer for you, because he cannot speak just as an individual. He's also threatening us over trade deals - just after meandering on about the 'special relationship' - which he would obviously, happily drop.

[retrocop]

Don't know pal. I try to keep cool under adversity and never boil. Might seethe and simmer but never boil.

I get the impression that a lot of American citizens( being PC here) wish he never got to dabble with their politics either. US health model??? Gun control (lack of) etc.Mind you the NRA in America really rule the roost it seems in the US. :-)

I get the impression a lot of Americans wish they'd picked their own cotton.

Maybe that's where Boris should go, post June, to head up the NRA - having shot himself in his goolies politically, Micky Gove to join him as Deputy Sheriff?

or sort of -- - - - cafe boulu, cafe foutu
as Francois HOllande or Jourdain might say

///Maybe that's where Boris should go, post June, to head up the NRA///

How can he do that when he's giving up his American citizenship?

[DTCwordfan]

He could always keep it....probably a magnet for him as to all those pistol-touting blonde American women looking for a mad Englishman.

bojo - well trained
it was all the rough shooting when he was in the Posh boys' club
skills learnt at Eton never forgotten

[DTCwordfan]

can't be that well trained, Peter - he missed you when you were on the Bisley target butts.....

[Peter Pedant]

being forced to pay tax on his London home in the Land of the Free
bad luck
I wonder how the dual tax treaties sorted that one out

usually whe you naturalise to a second nationality
you are forced to renounce your other one

No great advantage being subject to two jurisdictions when the rest of us just do one

[DTCwordfan]

especially the US one, three times as complex as over here...I have to handle that....

No - you can hang on to two citizenships (or more) - with a bit of international deviancy - it comes down to where you and your parents were born.

Big advantage to have dual Nationality when you come through Customs/Immigration at Heathrow/Gatwick. Whilst I queue for hours with my family to show my EU passport to enter my own freakin country with the rest of Europe my sister can just toss up her Canadian passport and get to my house to cook me supper by the time I join her 4 hours later.

[DTCwordfan]

stuey, can you cook me dinner on the 4th of June....?

[stuey]

What happens on June 4th., DTC? Apart from me cooking your dinner/tea/supper, that is

[DTCwordfan]

I come back in to the UK......you could have a four hour advance on me.....Cornish scones, jam, cream and pasties on offer, maybe even an ice-cream.
