Maybe you know that, but your leadership keeps suffering memory lapses. Churchill? Sir William Stephenson? Ring a bell?

Churchill, yes.
William Stephenson, no - never heard of him. (I presume I should have done...?)

Had the people of the US known what you Brits were up to in this country prior to WWII, we probably would have declared war on you!.
Lost me - I know we had 'stop-and-search' in WWI, which got the US riled, but less than the German U-boat approach (stop-and-sink). What did we do to you in WWII? (bear in mind your ambassador to us, Joe Kennedy, was rather pro-Nazi so may possibly have coloured things).

Still, I'm disappointed to hear you wanted to ally with the Nazis, I never figured you all for such anti-Semites. Guess you really want to see every Jew burnt to crispy critter, huh - or was it the economic efficiency, shaving them and using the remains for making soap? Or is it just the leather-lover coming out? Or maybe Hitler was just such an inspirational role model? You liked his attachment to democracy, perhaps?
Got it, his firm stance on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For blond Aryans. That's the common feeling, right?

Whatever. I thought rather better of you. Hopefully you're not being representative of your country at this point.
