Distraught Americans bleakly wondering how quickly their homeland will burn to a cinder under the premiership of newly elected President Trump can cling to one piece of good news today, as London chain The Diner are offering free cheeseburgers to anyone with an US passport.

For all of today, November 9, US subjects baffled by their countrymen can walk into any one of the nine Diners across the capital and claim a free cheeseburger, provided they present their passport as proof of citizenship.

There are Diners in Camden, Covent Garden, Islington, Soho, Shoreditch, Gloucester Road, Spitalfields, Dalston, The Strand.

Yanks celebrating Trump’s unexpected win will also be able to claim a free burger, so long as they too have their passport.

This morning, Donald Trump was announced as the 45th Commander-in-Chief after a convincing victory over Hillary Clinton, which sent shockwaves around the world, surprising the majority of pollsters and pundits. He will not take office until January 20 2017.
