this should be entertaining

A lawyer "representing the US Government" in a case in the UK claims that America has the right to kidnap those wanted by US law. I'm sure this will turn out to be an over-reaching interpretation by a lawyer with no official sanction to do so, but it's certainly an... interesting point of view.

Nah, M. Strychnine is well aware of these things and is not, in fact, referring to me as being either British, or from the UK.

And, you know, who's a name-challeneged person to point fingers anyway?

His use of "you people" suggests otherwise.

You really should identify yourself if you're going to persist with this.

I know s9. He knows Ireland and the UK are not the same place. In light of this fact, you may read his "you people?" as either indicitave that all non-Americans thought Americans were civilized, or that he's directing it at the UK (since in the context of the colloquialisms, "they people" or "them people" doesn't really work)
