Dear Mr. Cramer,
Thank you for your clear and concise information.
You are indeed a well learned and highly intelligent man.
I take my hat off to you for your sharp incisefullness and retort at the subject matter that was placed on this board for your kind attention.
I would however say that a few words which will get you through the next year or so, again I would advise you to learn this and repeat at as many functions as you can
"God save our gracious queen,
God save our noble queen
God Save the queen"

Dear Mr Jaye
Over the centuries this sort of thing has been attempted a number of times.
One recalls your unfortunate lack of political success in our original War for Independence, lack of military success in the War of 1812, and your backing of, and commerce with, the losing side during our Civil War of 1861-1865.
Attempts at commercial hegemony have similarly been ill-fated. Your brief penetration of our market by both Morris Garages and Jaguar was untimely cut short by one of your component suppliers, Lucas. The resulting lackluster performance of the British auto industry has unfortunately resulted in the control of most of your marques by foreign companies, BMW and Ford coming immediately to mind. How ironic that your own managers were able to accomplish what the Wehrmacht could not.
On the cultural front, you had a good thing going with the Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Unfortunately, The Spice Girls were unable to carry the torch. Sic Transit Gloria.
So, while amusing, your post does little to convince me that you are anything more than a paper tiger when it comes to attempts to reimpose the yoke of British tyranny on our fair Columbia.
I would add in closing that your more overt efforts to impose Ingsoc in the United States, most notably, The Guardian's "Clark County Project," likely contributed to a Republican victory. Hoist yourselves with your own petard, no?
