Take heart, my British cousins. Our founding Fathers weren't stupid men. They new that something like this would eventually happen. It's human nature. That's why they constructed our constitution the way they did. We Americans are hardly finished fighting. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
It is America that is the over riding worry at the moment. If Trump get's conned out of this election, as I fear he could. Your constitution is no longer safe. IF the Dems get in this time, you can be sure they will try to rig things. Trump will be gone and the Republicans will get nowhere near power again for some considerable time. I'm dearly hoping you are right Allison.
I admire your positivity cousin but I just don't see it, Americans have a blind spot in that they think they're the exception to every rule you aren't & the constitution isn't an infallible document, I hope I'm completely wrong 🇬🇧🇺🇸✊
@Bob Wood Are you an American? If you are, you should be ashamed of yourself for giving up on your own country. If your not American, shut the h*** up. People have been underestimating America from it's very beginning.
Our system in Britain is worse. More of a percentage of our society are brainwashed than Americas. That's why Labour and Tory MP's keep getting voted for. Farage is our version of Trump and he's never been able to crack the nut of parliament.
I think we're even worse. The universities, schools have copied exactly what the US have done & it's worked for them even better than anyone could have hoped. It's unbelievable how this stupid country have sat back and let that happen. I'm starting to think we deserve it with continuing to vote for Con/Labour.

I feel Neil speaks my language, the more I hear from him the stronger I agree with him. I don't think I've disagreed with a word he has said yet. I wish he was a politician; I would even get out and vote if he were.
Why is it everyone needs to qualify trump as not being angel? We do not have gods among us from whom we can choose our leaders. Trump is only president in recent memory (at least in my life) who was a citizen president.

When you cant even state openly which candidate you support in an election for fear of being attacked for it you know democracy is in a very fragile state.

Spot on from Neil Oliver. People have no idea what they speak of unless they've been there and travlleed around a bit - it's shocking how far the reality is from the image they've portrayed in their movies. No surprise at all about T-rump and his ideas being popular. What has been a surprise is how their system was so easily dismantled from within; openly and by using the very laws they put in place to protect it.

Hey Neil, I’m a fan of yours and only recently discovered your presence outside of your videos about Ireland & Scotland. As an American, I want to thank you 🙏 for your care of this country. I’m 63 and I never dreamed I would see this crazy “woke” cancel culture. It’s like ppl have no common sense at all. Scary times........

We have never had democracy, only the illusion of democracy! The Brexit vote proved that! We lend these people our power to represent us and we can take that power back again!
I’ve missed my weekly fix of Neil this week. Hope he’s back in fine fettle next week. He and Peter Hitchen make a day worth waking up for, especially in lockdown.
Most impressed by Neil Oliver as always! I have spent a few holidays in the US and the people outside the big cities are the most generous and honest people I have met!
US elections had no hope even well before Trump. If someone has to wait 12 or more hours to cast their vote, something is wrong! Here in the UK, if it takes more than 15 minutes during peak times we're mad! Americans need to get mad at the local governement, demand more polling stations and massively improve the efficiency of voting!
