My dear American cousins.
It has come to my attention that following the deplorable acts of 1776 we are not as close as we once were. However as an act of goodwill I would like to extend the hand of friendship and invite you to once again come back to the British Empire.
All that we require is the following:
The American police will be instructed by Canadian Mounties on how to discuss the odd bahaviour of the weather.
Baseball and the NFL will be dropped in favour of cricket and rugby.
Elisha Cuthbert will be sent to the UK to pander to my every need.
I propose the next B&J flavour
In return we offer:
Cooler ship names for your navy. USS Ronald Reagan becomes HMS Attitude
All the packets of prawn cocktail crisps you can eat.
A head with a crown on your money.
We'll swap sides in the Ryder Cup (Europe vs the British Empire).
We'll keep hold of Madonna for you.
You get to participate in numerous royal events and get free entry to Chessington World of Adventures.

Can we please send them Prince Charles and have Britney Spears in return - just as bonkers but better to look at.
Hey... wait a minute... why should we be lumbered with Madonna????
Judging by some of the replies I think we may have to offer free "Sense of Humour" lessons as part of the deal

The idea UK rejoining America [USA] is an old one. Back in the 60s there was even talk [not at a high level] that UK should become the 51st State - one more star on the flag etc. But, we eventually, following years of non [Chas De Gaulle], joined the then EEC [now EU]. In spite of everything, we are, as Winston Churchill once said, "two great nations separated by a common language". We share a lot of common values, trial by jury, a free press, an independent judiciary, free elections, free speech, blah! etc. We also share each others music; well, that is, we Brits have taken up American music, jazz, RnR etc and hamburgers and Coke and etc. However, it's still something of a culture shock for Americans coming to the UK for the first time. The warm beer, the pies and peas, the bad teeth and all the rest of it.

The Queen has actually broken her Coronation oath. Google The Queen and treason and you will see that she has signed 6 treaties all against this country. There is one more for her to sign and that is it. Completely ruled by the EU and no way out. It will be worded in such a way that us plebs will think its ok and not question it. The last thing Blair and her Maj signed was to do away with the Act of Treason because both knew that they had committed it. Her father must be spinning in his grave. As for who owns the banks, look up Rothschild's!!

Best question posed so far, well done!
I would have rather joined the US (or vice-versa) than join the pansy European (blatantly French) liberal idiots.
For the Americans reading this question: it isn't meant to be insulting, its just British humour examining the absurdity of the idea and celebrating the difference and similarities between our two peoples. Plus, my teeth are perfectly fine.
