The good thing about england - like, if i were in france, all people would be doing is rubbing my nose in donald trump. as if i voted for him. just rubbing my nose in him. and in england, they'd be rubbing my nose in it too, except for brexit. so that means they can't rub my nose in anything!

Attitude Mean Reality
