I visited the U.K. for a couple of weeks over the Summer. I miss waking up and getting dressed with Channel 4 on in the mornings. Waking up to Cheers and Everyone loves Raymond. That's quality. And I miss the U.K. it's lush greenery and history. It was amazing. Much love from America. Y'all have a beautiful country.

Tommy Smith your comment about “illegal immigration” seems in reference to the ongoing refugee crisis, and it’s likely this ident was at least in part meant to represent it. Secondly, is that “first safe country” thing a law? If so, could you source it? It seems to me that’d pose a big problem in a refugee crisis because one country would be stuck with more refugees than they probably can handle.
