He needs to invent something or win a world-wide competition at something. Then they’ll call him a Briton again and welcome him back.

He was back years ago after a DNA test proved that he was right, this isn't about him coming back, he's suing for compensation.

No one calls Canadians and Australians 'Britons'.

As someone with Canadian clients, please never actually say this out loud.

Canadians are their own special group.

They're America's hat.

Is Alaska a ponytail then? Or is it like a backward baseball cap type of hat?

Of course not. They haven’t done anything worthy to be called britons.

He isn’t English. He is saying that from the perspective of an Aussie or Canadian. I’m half American, and agree a bit with you. But take issue with some slack jawed yank calling people Limey. And I have no ancestral reason to side with the English.

You ruined your point by issuing a slur that’s about a whole peoples. And one that’s about 100 years out of date as well. So, bravo.

I like how you point out that it's outdated and silly, almost as if no one should take it seriously, but also took serious offense to it. Calm down hun

It’s legit from the show Grand Tour when they’re talking about a Scottish driver. If I could find a clip I would post it.

That’s a long running joke in the UK about whether people are considered Scottish or British. Has absolutely nothing to do with countries outside the UK like Australia or Canada.

Typical American, fails to understand the joke and then vomits his worthless opinion all over everyone else that nobody asked for.

Why not just steal some Jamaican artifacts for the British Museum?
