Is Britain the odd man of Europe due to its SPECIAL and SHOULDER TO SHOULDER relationship with the satanic USA
916513
From the Daily Telegraph, 30 Nov. 2006:\n\n" Britain's special relationship 'just a myth'\n\n"Toby Harnden in Washington\n\n"A senior American official has spoken of "the myth of the special relationship" between the United States and Britain, arguing that Tony Blair got "nothing, no payback" for supporting President George W Bush in Iraq.\n \n"Bush and Blair at the G8 summit at St Petersburg when their private conversation was overheard\n\n"Kendall Myers, a leading State Department adviser, suggested that Mr Blair should have been ditched by Labour but the party had lacked the "courage or audacity" to remove him.\n\n"David Cameron, the Conservative leader, was "shrewd, astute" to have distanced himself from America.\n\n"In candid comments that will embarrass Mr Bush and Mr Blair, the veteran official said America "ignored" Britain, and he urged Britain to decouple itself from the US. . . ."

I agree there's more openness in the UK than in the US to this respect. Still, I haven't seen ANY person of immigrants descent in key official postions in the UK; while in the US there are MANY: Scwartzenegger, Villarraigosa, Kissinger. So who's more open-minded? And OF COURSE there's FREEDOM OF RELIGION in the US!! The US, being a traditionally Protestant nation, homes a greater Muslim population than many european nations do combined. Plus, the 20 million or so LatinAmerican immigrants are mostly roman-catholic, and free to practice their religion.

I spend as much time in the US as I do abroad. In Europe, Asia and Arabia. The disprespect that is now heaped upon anything American is just unbelievable. In these forums I read notes from people who have never left their environs, harping on and trying to justify the unjustifiable. It leaves me very sad, because natural friends of America are now openly disrespecting a once great Nation. Why? Because of the Fundamentalist we have in the White House. In Britain, the politicians and populous have acted and asked Blair to go, because he has brought shame to the country in his support for Bush. It is unbelieveable how much he is now ignored by his own European partners who once glorified him.

I think it would be good to split the union especially now since its the 300th anniversary in 2007. I dont want to start arguments about countries which would survive outside of it or which countries support others. It is a myth that England supports the neighbouring countries though. Sure; Scotland for example is given a hefty supplemet every year to look after itself but only from money the UK (NOT England - contrary to popular belief) has earned ie from oil (which is actually Scottish anyway)and tourism - which all nations in the kingdom earn. Please dont continue flaming or anything. I havent said anything to insult anyone and everything I have said is fact. btw Robespierre made the classic fault assuming Wales and Scotland were in England. They are not and never have been, I strongly suggest you don't say that when you are in one of those smaller UK nations. You may be risking your health ;)

Nose? He's got his whole head up there and trying to get his shoulders in.  Britain is still playing the superpower, but it can't do so on its own anymore. Britain is like an old man seeing himself in his grandson. \n\nLook at the ideology of the British empire, how they justified invading other countries.  How they caricatured other races and cultures while thinking of themselves as the pinnacle of civilisation.   It wasn't entirely clear to Britain why other countries would resent them for this - you think America can't become what it fought against?  Read animal farm.

The terrorist President has failed to alienate the Europeans, he carried all the shame on his head although some Americans too have been contaminated by him. What a shame on bush. Blair has no option but to carry bush's bag or the IRA Christian terrorists would receive new funding from the USA.

The EU already has a presidency, and it rotates between heads of state. I don't know why religious people freak out about this - this has nothing whatsoever to do with the mostly-written-for-its-own-era Book of Revelations...

everything you have said is true, fair enough i'm guessing by the smug superiority of your question that your possibly european of some description... \nits hardly fair to call america backwards... they are a bit mad, bigotted and obsessed with thier own self importance though and theres the obvious stupidity that will always be associated with the fact that they elected not one... two bush's

Britain has been an ally of ours since the first World War.\nAnd they're as fierce as ever to support the same matters we stand for.\nGod Save the Queen and God Bless the USA!

I think the Britain of Churchill's era was pretty great.  What I don't understand is how the brave and amazing people of the UK can roll over and let themselves be trampled by political correctness and blatantly hostile cultures taking root in their very midst.  I love my cousins across the pond, but I fear for your future.

I believe there is an intrinsic connection between the UK, through people like Winston Churchill and others throughout history that gives  America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia , Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England an evolution towards justice and a sense of fair play.  It is NOT an achieved goal but a process that we can judge ourselves objectively and try to get better long into the future.

Yes, actually, I believe I do. If I remember correctly, they are part some kind of secret society of very wealthy people such as the Rothchilds, who worship satan and stuff like that. There are some political implications and the demonic influences are involved, but that's about all I can remember of what I have read about them.

I spent my first 25 years in England and the rest (33) over here and I don't know why they don't like us, but being a Brit from birth I can tell you that they are opinionated and a tough audience so don't take it personal. They have no reason to not like Americans. Could be envy couldn't it?

none of the above.  The US seems to attracts all kinds of people from all walks of life.  Its still a melting pot and all kinds of weirdos exist.  Some we like some we hate.  It's all a part of life.
