It's not difficult to feel sad for the Brits. Not only Brexit, but a new Prime Minister who is a clone of the LK (Lyin' King) in the Oval Office. Nor is it difficult to imagine that Queen Elizabeth II is dismayed at the prospect of regular meetings with the most clownish of British politicians. If this is a (fair & balanced) illustration of the British predicament, so be it.

Queen Elizabeth II Moving to Canada
By Andrew (Andy) Borowitz
TagCrowd Cloud provides a visual summary of the following piece of writing
Queen Elizabeth II is moving to Canada “immediately” and should take up full-time residence there by the end of the week, Buckingham Palace confirmed on Tuesday.
The Queen offered no reason for the move, but the palace indicated that she had been packing her bags for the past several weeks.
In a sign that the Queen’s decision is irrevocable, the palace revealed that her beloved corgis had already been flown to Toronto.
In a brief farewell statement to the British people, the Queen explained why she had chosen Canada as her new home. “We speak the language, and our picture’s on the money there,” she said.
She said that she had “no regrets” about abdicating the throne to her son, Charles. “At this point, there’s nothing he can do to make the UK more messed up than it already is,” she said. ###
