People across Britain are still ‘fairly optimistic’ that their opinions on the US presidential election are worth a toss.

With a choice between a fairly normal woman and a somewhat odd man on the table, Britons are keen to let Americans know how they should vote.

“I think they respect us”, said opinion holder and twitterist Simon Williams. “For example: if I hadn’t pointed it out, I doubt they’d have noticed that Trump has shit hair.” Williams had previously tried to bring Britain’s attention to Boris Johnson’s equally shit hair. “Although ultimately, I can’t have mentioned it enough to sway the UK to vote Remain,” he admitted.

This voice of reason now realises that his attitude may have been a little patronising in the past.

1. Seeing how who is elected has a huge impact on the world, I could see why they are concerned

If one is elected, you can bet your life there will be another war or two or more. History tells us this.

The other will only go to war if we are attacked and then with great caution. History tells us this.

2. But equally....

.....we voted to leave the EU. Economic suicide wrapped up in nationalism and anti-immigrant hysteria.
