Joe Biden’s mother so disliked England she refused to sleep in bed Queen had slept in

Veep writer Georgia Pritchett reveals US president's Irish mother wrote poems calling for God to rain blood' on the English

Joe Biden once revealed his mother so disliked England that she chose to sleep on the floor rather than in a bed in which the Queen of England had previously slept, according to an autobiography written by a comedian.

Georgia Pritchett claims the US leader made the revelation when they met in the White House during his period as vice-president. Pritchett met him because she was conducting research for the hit comedy Veep, on which she had been a co-executive producer and joint writer. They were also making a film tie-in of the show.
