A Response to Richard Littlesense of The Mail

Selling Sovereignty and Satire Short!

Dear "Richard Littlesense,"

Oh, bravo! A tour de force of bloviating absurdity, “Have I got a deal for you, Donald... forget Greenland and buy Britain instead!”. I’m still wiping the tears of laughter from my eyes—or is that despair? You’ve really outdone yourself this time with your Trump-Musk United Kingdom takeover fantasy. Honestly, I expected nothing less than this masterpiece of delusion from the chap who gave us the timeless classic: You Couldn't Make It Up!

Trump: The Patron Saint of Gilded Nonsense

Ah yes, Donald J. Trump. A man with all the moral fibre of a wet Weetabix. Convicted fraudster, adjudicated sexual assailant, compulsive liar, and—lest we forget—a real estate mogul whose only discernible skill is slapping his name on shiny things and declaring them “the best, just the best.”

You reckon this orange megalomaniac would “rebuild Britain”? What’s the plan, exactly? Convert Buckingham Palace into Trump Tower: Windsor Edition? Perhaps turn Blackpool into a sprawling golf course called Brexit-on-Sea? Or maybe, for laughs, we could rebrand the NHS as Trumpcare, where every GP appointment comes with a free MAGA hat.

And the small boats? You think Trump, a man who can’t even hold a Bible the right way up, is going to stop them? What’s the plan—build a wall across the Channel? That worked out well for Mexico, didn’t it? Oh, but wait, perhaps he’d fund it by introducing tariffs on French cheese. Let’s face it, the man couldn’t even run a functioning casino, and now you want him to run a nation.

Musk: The Techno-King of Chaos

Elon Musk as Britain’s saviour is the cherry on this satirical sundae. The man who bought Twitter for £35 billion (or roughly the GDP of Moldova) and turned it into a playground for conspiracy theorists and bots. Yes, surely he’s the steady hand we need steering the HMS United Kingdom.

His leadership style? Revolutionary—if chaos is your revolution of choice. One moment, he’s boring tunnels to nowhere; the next, he’s launching exploding cars into space. You might think you’re hiring an innovator, but what you’re getting is a hyperactive teenager with a PayPal account. By the way, when those “Teslas Made in Grimsby” start catching fire, will they run on nostalgia for British greatness?

And what about his governance strategy? Perhaps Musk would turn Downing Street into a live-streamed reality show, powered by Neuralink, where the public votes on legislation via Twitter polls.

Selling Sovereignty: The Bargain Bin Approach

Here’s where you really shine, Richard. “Why not sell the UK to Trump and Musk?” Why not indeed! Sovereignty is so last century, isn’t it? Forget Magna Carta; let’s just whack Britain on eBay and throw in Scotland for free shipping. Maybe Boris Johnson could add a personalised note—“From one clown to another.”

But here’s the kicker: You’re the same bloke who’s spent decades railing against the EU, calling it a “bureaucratic nightmare” that trampled on British sovereignty. Now you want to hand over the keys to two of the most self-serving men on the planet? The cognitive dissonance is Shakespearean, Richard. Or should I say, Littlejohnian.

Do you think Trump and Musk would care about Britain’s long-term future? They’d strip the country for parts faster than you can say “levelling up.” Frack the North, bulldoze the South, and rename the Midlands TeslaLand. And when the profits dry up? Well, we’d be left with nothing but a few gold-plated statues of Trump and a dozen half-finished Hyperloops.

Britain’s Problems: Blame Everyone Else

You write as if Britain’s woes are entirely the fault of “woke” politicians, Greta Thunberg lookalikes, and the dastardly EU. But here’s a reality check: Decades of austerity, underfunding, and yes, rampant crony capitalism have done far more damage than any Pride parade or recycled paper straw.

Your solution? Bring back fracking. Because nothing screams “21st-century innovation” like drilling for oil while the rest of the world invests in renewable energy. What’s next, Richard? A return to coal? Bring out the top hats and monocles while we’re at it.

And let’s not forget your Florida exile. For a man who spends his days lecturing Brits about “work-shy millennials” and “soft-touch politicians,” you’re remarkably fond of the Sunshine State’s tax perks, aren’t you? Perhaps it’s easier to shout about Britain’s problems from a gated community in Palm Beach.

The Satirical Cop-Out

Let me guess, this is all just satire, isn’t it? A bit of harmless fun! Except it’s not. Real satire punches up. It skewers the powerful, the corrupt, and the hypocritical. What you’ve done here is punch wildly in all directions, hoping something lands. It’s not satire, Richard—it’s a word salad of outdated talking points tossed with a generous dollop of hyperbole.

A good satirist would take aim at the systemic failures of British governance or the hypocrisy of the ruling elite. But you? You’re just taking cheap shots at easy targets, dressed up in the illusion of wit.

A Final Helping of Hypocrisy

Richard, your career has become the journalistic equivalent of reheated leftovers. The same tired outrage, the same contrived indignation, the same recycled talking points. Your columns are less about solutions and more about stoking the fires of division.

You lament “virtue-signalling elites” while lionising Trump—a man whose entire career is a monument to ego and self-promotion. You claim to champion British sovereignty, yet you’d sell it to the highest bidder in a heartbeat. You decry “cancel culture,” but your own brand of bile has done more to divide and misinform than any blue-haired activist ever could.

Final Thoughts

Richard, you’ve truly mastered the art of writing for an audience that thrives on outrage and nostalgia. Your piece is less about solutions and more about giving Britain’s disenchanted a shiny object to shout at.

In the meantime, keep shouting into the void. We’ll be here, trying to make sense of a country that doesn’t need saving by Trump, Musk, or Littlejohn. What Britain really needs is less hot air—and frankly, Richard, that means fewer columns from you.

Yours sarcastically,
