White House spokeswoman Stephanie Anderson today announced the imminence of "major changes" in the upper echelons of the British government "in order to give a better deal to the British people."
Gordon Brown is widely tipped to be removed from the post of Prime Minister for bringing relations between Britons and the mother country to new lows over the US mainland's decision to invade North Korea. Although a popular choice with the US State Department, Brown has failed to appease the more hawkish elements in the US administration with his "soft stance" on evil.
Speculation over his replacement is rife, but many close to the Defence Department have suggested that it may be time for Britain to be governed by someone more recognisably American. A recent report issued by a think-tank linked to Vice-President Joe Biden argues that recent history shows that a tougher stance is needed for the colony. According to the report, the installation of "strong-willed" Mrs Thatcher in 1979 allowed the UK to feel it had a greater degree of autonomy but crucially maintained Washington policy, an effect maintained under her puppet successor. However, Brown, appointed during the later Bush years, has been seen as more ambiguous in direction.
Key adviser Dick Earl has been a strong advocate of a tough stance. It is hinted that retired US General Wesley Kanne Clark Sr KBE, may go on to govern the UK if he proves himself in North Korea, and that changes in the structure may be in the pipeline. Leaked documents circulating at the highest levels of government have mentioned the title "Viceroy" alongside efforts to appeal to the UK's monarchical past.
