British Say US Is Violent, Money-Hungry, Uncultured Nation
- Thread starter Wurm
- Start date
The days when Britain was a superpower with any diplomatic clout have long gone.
We are now a mere banana republic without even permission to go to war without U.S. say-so (they control all the nukes the U.K. has from Washington for that matter).
Militarily France is the only real power in Europe.
I was surprised to hear Jack Straw had been demoted recently after George Bush told Blair he should get rid of him.

whats your excuse?
what a crock...Carrera said:
you are deluded mate. There is a difference between the spinless bum-boy that heads our govt and the people that he supposedly represents.
A majority of UK citizens want to distance ourselves from the US politically. Blairs trans-atlantic **** licking puts him and his teams of nancy-boys firmly in a minority and utterly out of touch with public opinion...he may represent you on the international stage but not me..
I just want to thank everyone in this thread....anyone reading it through to the end is now even stupider thanks to being exposed to the retards bickering over this subject.
America is a great country...it isn't the only great country in the world.
You Aussies and Brits taking your shots are trying to sound so educated on America and you really don't know much about it..despite your ridiculous assertions.
The Americans in this thread...wake up. America isn't the only great nation on this planet. We might be the most powerful...but power alone doesn't make you great....at least IMHO.
So I know this might be a ridiculous request....but let's move on already.....you guys have already spread enough blind stupidity to cover the forum for at least a month or two.
PS...I am an American....and I was taught French in High School....and I have been to other countries....and I don't have a nuclear weapon in my back yard....and I ride a bike.

no ****...BillM said:
btw, we had stopped bickering until you started us up again....
which reminds me....America sucks.
It's true Blair doesn't represent the electorate. That's his own fault and the fault of his Party as the country has changed dramatically over the last decade or so. I sometimes think Blair may not even be aware of the changes.
The thing to bear in mind, though, is this: Britain under Thatcher was more powerful economically and militarily than today under Blair ( ask any army officer). So, it's almost impossible to imagine Blair refusing to follow Bush's lead, given we depend on the U.S. far more for defence, unlike France.
I mean, the Labour Party may complain, stamp their feet and suggest all sorts of compromises but it's Blair who has to actualy travel to Washington and represent the interests of the country.

Besides, I don't have much time for Bush Junior but what I can't figure out is why the majority of the population over here seem to hate Bush more than, say, the leader in Iran. Whenever I watch a BBC studio debate, the audience always seems to follow the same line that everything is the fault of the U.S.A., Israel is a Middle Eastern bully-boy and we are all supposed to dismiss the threat of Islamic terror and be more tolerant of fanatics.
I just don't think pacifism is the way to go when other countries attack you. Society over here has become way too ready to understand, too tolerant of intolerance and too pacific. I guess Blair's Party is to blame for that and now it rebounds on him.
