It might be a bit celeb-gossipy, but I came across this earlier. One of my favourite actors, Sir Patrick Stewart, now says he intends to become an American citizen, so he can better participate in the fight against Trump. While I passionately support giving that barely elected numpty what for, this news rather puzzles me. After all, we have battles of our own to fight here in Britain. As Stewart himself points out in the article, things are bad enough over here with brexit. And if he becomes a fullyfledged yank, what would happen to Sir Patrick’s knighthood? I get the impression that there’s more to this story than meets the eye, so it’s one I’ll be keeping at least half an eye on.
