His name is Jacob's cream cracker :) aka Jakey, formerly creme-de-la-creme.. The story of how he came here is very long and very sad, and I rarely talk about it.. but rest assured this American loves being an ex-pat and he's sired baby cats and has grand-babies :)

Oh and we don't believe our freedom of speech outweighs others, that's not legal it's again moral and respectful. No pressure, read if you don't, don't read if you don't want but personally I find learning about other cultures interesting.. I've spent over 20 years learning about America :)http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2015/02/these-are-the-rules-here-and-these-are-our-traditions-if-you-dont-like-them-then-hop-it/ less
As crazy as it sounds I wouldn't be surprised to hear that because he is the Commander and chief his orders have to be carried out without question. Cheers!

I always have a rescue kitty.. and I have to say.. in many cases my rescue or rescues often become my favourite.. I've been lucky to have THE coolest rescue kitties.. sadness and losses of beloved pets brought me to them but they are loved and valued in their own right and I truly don't see it as ME doing THEM a favour.. it's the other way round!!Soo cool rescue kitties... first ever were Sherry and Toffee... I *meant* to adopt only one kitty... and somehow these came as a pair and I thought oh well why not.. They were 14 and 15 when I adopted them.. everyone thought I was nuts.. but I wanted an older kitty.. I'd just lost a beloved cat to renal failure... less

My fav American, who's studied the UK and been here many times tells me our press is way freer... I have no idea and nothing to compare it to, so I cannot comment on how free the press and media is over there ... but the question remains.. fundamentally is it not one of THE most important cornerstones of society that the people have a fair chance to see and hear about what's really going on? We have free press here.. always have had.. sure there are newspapers with alliances to certain political parties, so they tend to favour one party of another.. BBC is independent and we see that because they will always report on their own scandals too... and they tend to give both sides a fair chance to speak...
The quote above came from the Times, my fav newspaper as it gives unbiased views both pro and against things.. it goes on to say, "Whatev... less

I figure he is just going to say he knows that the Chinese were behind the hacking but he can't say how he knows it because it could interfere with his investigation. Cheers!
