Britain Is More American Than European

[Bereta_Eder]

Racist comment.

In my view US, UK deserve whatever's coming to them.
I remain apathetic.

There is more to quality of life than just having successful companies.

[Provost Harrison]

I agree Mike. If I had to choose a country to emigrate to, I don't think the US would be very high up my list on the whole.

But people, please attack the troll, not us as well, some of us are sick of the status quo, the sycophancy of His Toniness...

Successful companies => rising GDP => increasing quality of life.

MarkL sounds a little jealous of our special relationship.

yeah, special relationship indeed The US is screwing Britain from behind, and they're both loving it. LOL

Could kick your little arse, Dutchie

since when? in all the wars we fought, and there have been many, you've never even conquered us. Hell, even French managed to succeed in conquering us, how hard could it be? Too hard from the English though.

[MikeH]

Absolutely. I voted for closer European integration and tax rises.

[Ecthy]

I think the Netherlands should be reintegrated into the HRE

Tony Blair is a great PM. Fooled all the lefties into voting right-wing for two successive elections.

Money is not the only measure of quality of life.

If Britain is so close to the US, than why do the states put tarrifs on their steel? Australia is excluded from the tarrifs, but Britain isn't.

Seems someone is getting used.

The Conservatives would have been even worse.

I didn't vote for him Did you elect him Stew? You certainly weren't old enough to vote in the 1997 election

[Ecthy]

you did not? what did you vote back then? libdems?

[MikeH]

We both did.

[Provost Harrison]

I agree MarkL. We have a special relationship with the US because we are willing to stick our arse out to them, and they are more than willing to slide it up.
