Yes, MikeH is correct. It's the nearest we have to a 'socialst party' in this country

Well, seeing as how the English were the ones who settled America, would it not make the Americans an offshoot of English... and thus the English are more English than European?

Rather sad. Sick even, considering you're the US' mother.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.
According to the BBC you don't.MarkL, we do have exemptions actually.

MarkL seems to have gone quiet. It's not surprising he's jealous of the Uk and the US, there's not much you can achieve with a country full of Dutch.

Britain and the US = the world's arseholes
Well, kinda. I'd be the first in line to be critical of the system in Britain, but IMHO it's not as bad as the US - if only by virtue of Britain being smaller so unable to be as awful
Seriously, though, the people in both places - and everywhere else - tend to be perfectly nice. It's just governments and companies I have bones to pick with."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

Now they can easily be classified as the world's arseholes together.

There is still a distinct difference between Britain and the US, and if you think otherwise you should come and live here. Blair's not exactly with the majority viewpoint...
That said, I agree foreign policy leans too strongly towards the US, but if Blair tries to take the UK into a war against Iraq he's going to lose ****loads of support."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment
