We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

Yeah, I know when I was in the military I would have been thrilled to tour the aircraft used to bribe a corrupt president who faked bone spurs to avoid service, called servicemembers and Vets "losers and suckers," and who, as an added character reference, rapes children.

As a Mexican it's really astounding to me that we're probably the best of the hosts? Like, Canada would be way better but I don't get the feeling anyone gives a rat's ass about the tournament. And we are... probably safer for visitors than the US 🤯. Cheaper and more involved too.
