Pandering to US

How we pander to US interests!

Not only are thousands of Brits in uniform in a foreign outpost fighting tribesfolk whose weaponry comprises shoulder-borne grenade-launchers, but now our TV screens are bedecked by slow-moving menfolk wearing well-pressed trousers on lawns with holes in them, and all because a golfer got his harmony at home maladjusted because fame and money had either gone to his head or was targeted by some females who fancied a piece of his enormous bank account – an account not got by waging war against tribesfolk, etc, but by resolutely pursuing a little pimpled ball over a piece of manicured lawn you couldn't grow lettuce on. There are occasions when a general election can arrive in the nick of time.
