Just heard this Trumpist on LBC, claim that there are 80 Sharia councils in the UK.

Uninvited guest for dinner.
Earlier today I was discussing Trump's use of pathetically simple English in his social media posts with one of my Chinese students.
He told me that, in China, English learners study Obama's speeches at university but Trump's speeches in middle school.

It's that time of year when UK residents start posting pictures of sunny skies—usually accompanied by comments like "It's a beautiful morning today." This is your friendly reminder that where I live, nearly every morning is sunny and beautiful, all year round.

In the age where everything is about making money, it might be a good idea for the UK to start charging the yanks rent for using and abusing our language.
