    As an American, Boris Johnson and Nigel Garage still sound like morons to me. Factoring in a 20 IQ accent upgrade, puts them in the low 50s. How are they even able to speak?

      Money and attention. Give a broken record a platform and watch as people dance to the irregular beat

    If you sound like Tom Hiddleston, sure.

    If you sound like Shaun Ryder, probably not.

    I’ve seen Americans comment “bro is speaking English Premium” under videos from English Youtubers

    Which british accent, though? Do they respond the same to Northern English? Scottish? Northern Irish?
