"1776 will commence again!" screeched the entirely sane and reasonable US gun lover Alex Jones this week (it's always reassuring to meet these faces of the US gun industry. Just the sort of people who should be fully armed). Jones was, of course, right – 1776 may well commence again because US/UK relations reached an all-time low this week: American Disney princess Taylor Swift and Britain's answer to Benjamin Braddock, Harry Styles, are, tragically, no longer together. Let us look back on their relationship in soft-focus, montage-style, while a bit of Chicago plays on the soundtrack … It was inevitable Styles and Swift would get together seeing as, between them, they have allegedly dated every single person on the planet. That this relationship happened to bookend Swift releasing an album and One Direction announcing a tour is just one of those coincidences that often accompanies celebrity relationships. OK, some of their dates might have had the suspicious smack of PR exercises, such as an excursion to The World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness-on-Windermere and a very intimate date to Times Square on New Year's Eve, a place no sober person has ever ventured.
But only a cynic would suggest that a relationship between a reality-TV boy-band member and a country and western singer was anything but true love in our time. And so, we mourn it with due respect.
