No kidding. "Special Relationship"??? ROFLMAO
The 'special relationships' exist only behind the scenes in banking, government & copying of population control. IMHO, the british 'special relationship' and the 'UN' 'special' relationship need severed, not subsidized.
A 'partnership' of similar ideals will exist regardless; that's the nature of 'allies'...but I'm having great trouble reconciling the problem of British coddling of Islamists...(ironically similar to US policies the past decade).
It's kind of bizarre, when you think about it. History has turned the world upside down. Great Britain is almost functioning like a colony of the U.S. right now.
