Threatening the British by saying there will be only salt and vinegar on the table, is like threatening the French by saying there will only be wine and baguettes, or threatening the Swiss by saying there'll only be chocolate and Nazi gold.

Ein bisschen ist gut, mehr ist besser und mir ist egal, wie schlecht es für mich ist, du musst es mir aus meinen kalten, toten Händen reißen.
The NRA, a group that feels about guns, the way the rest of us feels about Nutella. A little is good, more is better and you can tell me it's bad for me all you like, but you will pry it from my cold dead hands.

England & Großbritannien, BrexitJohn Oliver (Last Week Tonight)That twerking pig may actually be the perfect embodiment of the entire Brexit situation. It's in motion already, we're all powerless to stop it and it is impossible to look away.
BrexitJohn Oliver (Last Week Tonight), Brexit IILeuten etwas über die Struktur der FIFA zu erzählen, ist so, als würde man ihnen "Two Girls, One Cup" zeigen. Man macht es hauptsächlich für die erschrockenen und schockierten Gesichter der Leute.
Telling someone about the inner workings of FIFA for the first time is a bit like showing someone "Two Girls, One Cup". You do it mainly so you can watch the horrified expression on people's faces.
FIFA (Verband)John Oliver (Last Week Tonight), World Cup ExcitementDavid Cameron announced he is stepping down in the wake of a vote, which should make me happy, but it doesn't. It's like catching an ice cream cone out of the air, because a child has been hit by a car. I'll eat it! But it's tainted somehow.
