The vice president had reportedly attempted to dine at The Bull in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, an early 16th-century countryside pub with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a prestigious award from the Michelin Guide that highlights restaurants offering excellent food at moderate prices.

“It’s been the talk of the village-it’s the most exciting thing that’s happened here for a very long time,” one local told British tabloid The Sun of Harris’s visit to the venue, where a steak will set diners back $98.

Uh...

If you look at the image of the menu in the article, most of the stuff costs far less than that. It's a bit deceptive to mention it the way they did.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I mean... it's sirloin. Not Wagyu premium beef from the royal herd, adorned with gold leaf and truffle butter... It's just cow.

and some steak costs $300… what’s your point? £98 for a steak isn’t ridiculous… there’s a £26 pie there too and all their other prices are reasonable: i assume it’s just a really good cut

Of sirlion?!

Does it give a hand job?!

Anyway, good ol' regime whore was served tho 🐸

[–] modus@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

But if they charge more it tastes better, right?

The only way JD belongs in a pub, is if his head is mounted on a wall as a conversation piece. "...so we rounded up the bastards, and introduced them to French cutlery..."

James Donald Bowman is the epitome of a bellend and an insult to humanity.

I imagine any of these assholes can't eat out anywhere. It's probably why they eat so much fast food from drive throughs.

And the American Secret Service knocking on people’s doors and asking about their Facebook profiles

Fuck that entirely

Residents in Charlbury and the tiny hamlet of Dean, where the manor house is situated, quickly grew weary of Vance and his entourage of vehicles and Secret Service agents.

Wow, overzealous much? No one wants to kill Vance, what's the point!? 😂 He's like wasps or mosquitoes, people just want him to go away...

An appropriate acronym: American Secret Service = ass

Ya that one has been known for a while

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

oh yeah, if some other country's secret service knocked on my door asking questions, i'd ask them to sit down (outside), serve them drinks, be polite, and laugh in their faces.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Id tell them to get off my property or get shot

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 3 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Then they put coke on the plate of drinks and arrest you for having illegal drugs.

Best thing is always just to ignore them until they go away. Never answer the door.

[–] treesquid@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Another country's secret service can't and doesn't arrest people for coke, wtf are you on about

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

arrest me under what jurisdiction?

[–] Soulg@ani.social 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The jurisdiction of there being more of them than there are of you, and probably some form of restraints.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

in my neighborhood, that'd literally get them shot but okay

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 5 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

If your hood has that sort of solidarity, more pwoer to you

But it doesn't disprove the comment you replied too.

US goons could shoot you on the spot and the country would look the other way because they had diplomatic immunity

With that being said, fuck the police coming straight from the underground

Just don't get shot over something stupid.

Talk about direct action and solidarity.

That's how these regime whores should be treated every where.

They expect take nasty shit on plebs faces and then expect you smile as you serve them.
