Brits still laughing at Romney since July

Brits are still making fun of Mitt Romney for his July 2012 visit to England on his Partial World Tour of Complete Excellence, when he called Ed Miliband of the Labour party "Mr. Leader" because he forgot his name:

"Let me tell you my favourite – it was when Mitt Romney came to Britain and called me ‘Mr Leader’. I don’t know about you but I think it has a certain ring to it myself, it’s sort of halfway to North Korea.

Miliband, who taught economics at Harvard, added: "Mitt, thanks a lot for that."

"I desperately hope Obama will win," he said. 

Even Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader David Cameron said at a recent gathering that: "Mitt Romney has that unique distinction of uniting all of England against him with his various remarks."

Clearly, Romney is not prepared to step out on the world stage.

Labour wants Glass-Steagall for Britain

So liberals in the UK recognize the need to institute their own version of America's now defunct Glass-Steagall Act, but American liberals and conservatives still haven't come around to re-instituting this commonsense measure that was passed in 1933 after the Great Crash to separate banks' customers' deposits from banks' investment activities.

Miliband said: "Either they can do it themselves – which frankly is not what has happened over the past year – or the next Labour government will, by law, break up retail and investment banks."

Hear, hear!  Let's take a lesson from those who have taken a lesson from us!

UPDATE: Ed Miliband is the guy Romney called "Mr. Leader" on his Partial World Tour of Complete Excellence because Romney couldn't remember his name.
