I thought we’d got past the days where all Brits thought Americans were dumb.
Let’s just say certain US politicians aren’t helping themselves

A GOP U.S. senator is telling the prime minister of the United Kingdom to “put down the bong” and “stop dipping into your ketamine stash” over that nation’s agreement to turn over authority of a British territory where a joint military base is stationed.
In a series of Senate floor speeches in recent days, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) sharply criticized the Labour Party UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for reaching a deal with the Mauritian government to hand over control of the Chagos Islands, calling such a move a national security threat given the strategic positioning of the joint military base.
Kennedy has repeatedly suggested that the decision was made under the influence of cannabis and ketamine—despite the UK party leader’s opposition to marijuana and drug policy policy reform.
“We need to stop this deal,” he said late last month. “President Trump and Secretary Rubio need to pick up the phone and call Prime Minister Starmer in the United Kingdom and say to the Prime Minister: Mr. Prime Minister, with all due respect, stop dipping into your ketamine stash. Put down the bong. We need this military base to combat China. Don’t do it.”
