Yeah but the UK? That’s not a step up. You don’t even get EU access anymore.
- Good? No. Better than the USA? Definitely.

Just remember: It only gets worse from here.
Whoops, sadly they'll find the exact same there, if not now then very soon.
There's always room for the token American on the panel shows 😊👌
- I know of no high-profile American who knows how to properly roast Jimmy Carr.
