This is excellent. And therefore utterly outside the capabilities of government communications, especially American.
I guess it’s fake…
Personally I’d have ended it with say “by throwing it in the harbor” or “by serving it iced”.
We Brits have know for a long time Americans were coffee drinkers. This tea business is all for show.
dirty, filthy bean juice drinkers…
Why does everyone think this is fake? The Americans can have a sense of humor!
Had me in the first half, ngl.
But you American savages need to understand you boil the water in a kettle first… 😝
This is actually a really nice gesture even though it’s just a joke. The UK and US do have a special bond. Fucking lucky for us
“We want to ensure the good people of the UK that the unthinkable notion…”
Ensure? It doesn’t make sense. Reassure?
Anyone got a link to the American professor’s recipe they are referring to please?
Technically the US celebrates adding salt to the tea via throwing it into the bay in 1773, though this was of course not an official act.
It is clear that we must take immediate humanitarian action. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland must ally with the Dominion of Canada and the United Mexican States [1] to invade the United States of America and reform their cuisine. We will do this to save them from themselves.

I assume this is just a bit of brilliant fakery?
Love it though!

I still have to be reminded that Americans microwave their tea…..wow lol.
Surely its horrid? I kind of remember trying it one time and I’m sure it just massively over concentrated the tannins and it tasted like shit.
Sure….use one to reheat, but putting a cold cup of water and a bag in the radiaton oven to brew it is just straight psycopatic.
Well, at least the Americans aren’t throwing the tea overboard on this occasion.
