Let's offer England to join the United States of America!

Created by F.G. on June 28, 2016

Britons have recently shown to be completely unable to govern themselves. Their Prime Minister threw the nation into chaos, caused a major stock market crash and possibly the break up of the United Kingdom. Even their soccer team just lost a game to ...Iceland? They need our help.

Let's offer England to be our 51st state! (we could try with Scotland too, but they may want to stay with the EU, also their accent is a bit too difficult for us).

We should grant them taxation without representation (as they will now get from the EU anyway) and hefty taxes on our export beers to match the future cost of Heineken. Consider the advantages: we get 1) a new state on the cheap, 2) travel to Europe without a passport and 3) a marginally better health care system.

Win win!
