But do we care?

If Cameron had any backbone he would tell him where to stuff the special relationship.

Sorry! Obama has got there first.

Well just let the US and the Froggies stew in their own juices, by Britain pulling out of Afghanistan, and leaving them to it.

Oh! and we could also boot his stepmum Kezia out of her Berkshire home.

[ummmm]

I don't understand. Who's being racist?

The 'Special Relationship' is something the British treasure but the Americans hardly think about.
We're Europeans. We should look to our natural allies in Europe to help cement our place in the world.

you seem to be confusing racism with political fawning.

[eyethenkyew]

So what? And what's "racist" about it?

"We like the Frogs better than the Brits" Whoopity doo dah! I'll never sleep again.

[Ankou]

didn;tthe scottish say something like that during the world cup?

whoopy doo.

[I.Don No]

of course we have a special relationship with the USA....they say jump and we ask how high?

The American special relationship is with Israel. (There's perhaps still a small one with Taiwan.) The rest are meaningless, despite Blair's brown-nosing of Bush.

Now, now, don't take it too serious just a light hearted post, after all those heavy ones.

Just thought the headline would attract, wasn't wrong.

[ummmm]

Rather childish AOG...

Written on Blairs tombstone:

"I did it my way"

and pigs might fly. The relationship was all one sided and we have paid heavily for it ever since.

AOD - You have done it again.........

[eyethenkyew]

And there was me thinking that Maggie Thatcher had also had a "special relationship" with Ronald Raygun? Long before Blair came on the scene???

[Large-end]

The special relationship in my opinion goes way back to the second world war when we had to borrow millions from the usa .
Otherwise we would have been over run by the germans.
It took until a year or two ago to repay this massive debt.
So yes we were until recently , greatly endebted to the usa for the continuation of our way of life.We cant however blame the usa for the shambles we have made of the country since. Thats entirely our own doing by trying to live in an imperial past thats long gone now.

Since when were the French our natural allies ?

[sandyRoe]

Since early last century when we entered into the Entente Cordiale
