The UK is going to be "socialist" in 25 years? With someone like Tony Blair in charge? If you had any idea of what the UK is really like these days, instead of sounding off after, what, TWO WHOLE WEEKS there, you'd know that we're going to be more like the US than not in less than half that time.

Also - why on earth would we (people in the UK) have the idea that the majority of Americans are right wing, religious fundamentalists that are in your own way, due to the amount of military and economic power that you wield as a country, as worrisome as Islamic crazies... when "only" about 55% of you believe that mankind came from Adam and Eve? When you elect Bush over Kerry, what are we supposed to think? Is Bush not right-wing? Born again?

No, I really can't see why we get that impression at all.

As for insulting the Queen - feel free, the vast majority of Brits couldn't give a damn. I'm a republican in the sense that I want to get rid of the Monarchy as soon as possible; it's an anachronism that has no place in the modern age.

Finally, when it comes to insulting your President - why can't we criticise, or at the very least comment? Do we not have a "special relationship"?

Why dig up a thread that died nearly a year ago?
