The brits are fuckhead about a lot of things but I think their farmer lobby is a bit less powerful there since they import all their food anyway (nobody grows on their god forgotten island). The US is an agrarian powerhouse so it makes sense their lobbies are more powerful.

Look at the french, the're colonisers but food isn't something they joke about. If they were forced to eat what you guys calls cheese they would start beheading real quick.

Oh yeah for sure but the reason the US exists is still their fault.

No my point was that the US is their fault.

Yes I got that. Fair. On the other hand, at the time, they were doing it to annoy the british king. Which is also fair.

Imagine still using a damn king like it's middle age.
