The Sun is more comic than newspaper tbh :~) and I'm sure you have your equivalents.

What channel do you see the BBC news on btw ? I dare say you're hardly typical though. I for my part
often catch ABC's news headlines on BBC News 24.

Nothing like a good, old fashioned E-1 grade assessment by a twit
that has absolutely no clue what is really going on in the world.

Land Rover, and the Mercedes desert vehicles have been around for
years, and Benz gets like gallons per mile in the bush.

Whoa, we're talking some serious nationalistic stereotyping here. As
if Europe is "the entire rest of the world", which it sure ain't.

And I recently read that the French women are getting fat, too. Last
time I was in Oxford, most of the engineers and scientists I was
working with were a lot rounder than I am.

My wife weighs 105, and I like her that way.

How much do you weigh?

Possession of an automatic weapon (or a bazooka, or explosives, or a
sawed-off shotgun) is a Federal felony here.

Hardly 95%. The Indians and, even more, the Chinese see radical Islam
as a threat. 2.5 billion right there.
