Clearly this MUZZIE FILTH has no faith in the #WillOfThePeople because it's disrupting his plans to build Londonistan
Be quiet Paul/Nigel/Boilrig.
Well, I'm glad he is willing to prepare for the worst - I'd rather he have a plan and not need it than need it and not have it.
Currently picturing them combined all together and being "The Thing" Defibrillator abomination.

Disaster planners, coincidentally, also being a fitting description of the men and women in charge of brexit negotiations.
Disaster masters fits better I think. Planners implies a mote of intelligence.
Fuckin traitors just upset they won't be able to import all their dodgy foreign foods like baguettes and cheese and rice. Enjoy propa british cuisine like yorkshire puddings and white bread.
It's time to start Britishizing foreign foods, henceforth shall the following foods be known by their PROPER British names;
Pizza -> Cheese & Tomato Loaf
Baguette -> Stick Bread
French Fries -> Potato Strips
Cappuccino -> Frothy Coffee
Curry -> Hot Chicken Stew
Doner Kebab -> Curly Meat
Evil Muslim plans DISASTER! Why else would he consult disaster planners?
Freedom fries!
"Fuck you, dad!"
Also general American self-centered arrogance.
I don't think that phrase is meant to claim that America invented apple pie.
However, unlike the small British isles which have been settled for thousands of years and whose Victorian-era real estate situation was the product of centuries of feudal/post-feudal holdings evolving, America is fairly large and there was tons of unclaimed* fertile space to plant vast orchards, leading to apples being a stable fruit working its way into colonial/American life and apple pies becoming a signature dessert element of American cuisine. It's as much associated with America and Americans as burgers, fries, and milkshakes. America is less associated with, say, rhubarb pie, and I don't need to look up statistics to guess that the American rhubarb cultivation industry is and has probably always been substantially smaller than its apple cultivation.
I mean, hell, the term apple pie a la mode (with a scoop of vanilla ice cream) was coined in Minnesota in the 19th century and borrows French to describe apple pie "in the current style". It's an American cultural creation even if apple pie, vanilla ice cream, and the words in the name individually originated from elsewhere.
* Not counting the native tribes' territories that the European settlers/their descendants were invading, obviously.
We still haven't fully forgiven you for the Tea Act
Hey! Don't joke about tea! I just realised I could have made a pun about how you guys throwing the tea away would make you tee-total, but I am too tired to even conceive of something mildly amusing on that premise.
That's actually a pretty interesting a rational interpretation of the phrase. Still, I'm sure you can understand why I parsed it the way I did?
I think in that case it has more to do with the fact that Americans generally only use the word pudding to refer to something more like a custard, not a pastry.
I think people were more annoyed about it being changed from an English to Dutch invention.
mayors of cities like London are leaders of a country in their own right just because of the massive challenges to managing so many people and so much commerce and activity in such a small space. to prepare for a no deal brexit isn't stupid its trying to prevent a tragedy.
Yeah that probably is an English bias thing, Americans generally think English food is bland and unappealing, but pretty much anything continental European we go for.
In fairness, there aren't many foods I'd consider decidedly 'English.' If I ever eat out, the sorts of things on the menu are an amalgam of other countries' food items on the whole. English food that's good is the full English breakfast, bangers and mash (bangers = sausages) and such things. I'd actually be interested to get your perspective on what you consider English cuisine though, given that you're American. It's harder to realise which foods are or aren't our own from my perspective.
I think probably the most well known "English food" in America is fish and chips, some people know about steak and kidney pie (I believe in the UK it's called pudding, but again we just don't like using that term for things that aren't custard-like). Now that I actually look into it it seems like there's a decent amount of food that's the same thing with just different names between America and England.
