Meet Waifu Amelia

If you are an Anglophile, and enjoy things British, go see the new poster girl for Brits who want to preserve their culture and limit immigration. Her name is Amelia, sometimes known as Waifu Amelia.

"Waifu" by the way is "wife" pronounced with a Japanese accent, as the character is drawn in an anime style. The term's meaning:

Waifu is a term used to refer to a fictional female character toward whom one feels romantic or sexual attraction.

Hot Air has a nice, long column describing the phenomenon, and its ties to Reform and Brit nationalism. I particularly like her hugging Paddington Bear.
