Actually a lot of so-called rules are being used in North America--Canada.
All the spelling mentioned are used just north of Detroit, "defense", "colour". No guns are allowed north of Detroit.
Just drive through the Detroit Tunnel or the Peace Bridge in Buffalo/Niagara Falls, New York, you will stop by a "Petro" station, drive in km/hr,also you will be offered free health care, and "Hail to the Queen".
I did not forget the War of 1812 when the British troops burned down the White House and few blocks in Washington, D.C. but left in a hurry.
So I don't really believe the British can take back America. And even Margaret Thatcher and the Queen had to give up Hong Kong back to China.
Don't forget the British troops under your Prime Minister Gordon Brown left Iraq in a hurry just a few weeks ago.
Also British would never win the Falkner War against Argentina without the logistic support of United States warships in Atlantic Ocean and talking about gasoline (petro), who supplied the gasoline to the British airplanes, and Navy ships in Atlantic Ocean ?
Gordon Brown is an economist, a genius but a Scot but how long he will be the Prime Minister? Just wait for the next Election. hahahha !
