“I’m fed up with all their dodgy doings, those big talkers are very much out of line. Really, give it a rest and all”. Translated, probably not into very good american!
While visiting Vietnam on business our high end translator, who spoke 7 languages with 40 years of experience, said that of all the English accents from all over the world, the heavy Scottish accent was the most challenging to understand. Of course, and with great pride, our colleague from Scotland took that as a compliment.
The trick is not to learn about politicians from the politicians themselves (or their opponents or a confused cat). Unfortunately, it takes some research among reliable sources from a number of different points of views, which (sigh) does not seem to be the American Way. It’s become rah! rah! my guy right or wrong. Don’t throw out the whole of the opposition, just the “collaborators”.

“Swear down, man…” Yup, that’s what I’ve been doing, and I’ll gladly “knock it on the ’ead” And that!

I wonder what (current) Mac’s take is on Boris Johnson? Also, are cats and dogs in either country angry that they don’t have the right to vote?

Still relevant. And Mac would also make a better president than the one we have now.
