TPM Reader SF:
Perhaps there will be some brave republican willing to spearhead an investigation of whether Stephen Hawking actually IS British? Isn’t it awfully convenient that a man with no discernable British accent suddenly claims that he is British just after it’s pointed out the the UK health system would have euthanized him as a child? Where is his birth certificate? And, if he is proved to be a Brit (long shot, I bet) then ought he not be forced to alter his speech-machine to clearly add a few “guv’nah” and “by jove” references to his speech so that he’s no longer able to hide it?
