Nervous about the English people's reaction to theirmonkey roots being discovered? US Jokes about it in their tweets.

1. UK Scientists recently discovered that the English public are the direct descendants of Monkeys- Is this an April Fools? #UKmonkeys 2. The US has joked about the recent English-monkey discovery, saying that the UK needs 100 TONNES of bananas- Can't believe the US would stoop so low. #UKmonkeys 3. This 'joke' isn't funny, it's just plain disrespectful- Not the best way to joke around with the UK. #UKmonkeys 4. Pretty sure the US would be pretty mad if the UK joked about the American public being descended from a particular species- It’s the same! #UKmonkeys 5. Can’t believe the US would make a joke about the UK descendants being Monkeys- This isn’t cool. #UKmonkeys 6. Disrespectful or not, the US' banter about the UK being descended from Monkeys shows a lack of respect- Unacceptable. #UKmonkeys 7. The cruel joke by the US about the UK's Monkey-ancestry is beyond insulting- If the tables were turned. #UKmonkeys 8. Did the US really just make fun of the UK's origins- Wow, what an awful thing to do. #UKmonkeys 9. Not sure I can fully describe how hurt and disappointed the UK public is feeling right now- Hands off, US. #UKmonkeys 10. If the US had any ounce of decency they wouldn't be making jokes about the UK's origins- What a low blow. #UKmonkeys 11. How dare the US joke about something so sensitive- What right do they have to make fun of us? #UKmonkeys 12. The UK public is not taking this lightly- Words can't express the outrage. #UKmonkeys 13. Hey US, Not cool making fun of the UK's Monkey-ancestry- We're not amused. #UKmonkeys 14. It's disgusting what the US just did- This is not how allies treat each other. #UKmonkeys 15. The UK public deserves more respect than what the US has shown- How inappropriate. #UKmonkeys 16. This isn't a laughing matter- The UK public is disgusted. #UKmonkeys 17. Nobody should be laughing about the UK's origins- It's not a joke,
