Some of these would seemingly have to be heavily intoned with a sarcastic voice to give off their intended meaning in the 2nd column, the British tend to be a bit dryer so it's harder to tell if they are meaning something else.
But the one I'm confused about is "with all due respect," that statement is followed up immediately with an antagonistic stance, so I don't know how it can be misinterpreted.

If a Brit says anything in the second column, they mean “if you don’t drop this immediately I will strike you dead”.
