"I'm curious just how many Brits are truly embarrassed about this?"
The vast majority of us.
Thank you. I really needed to hear that. :)
At that time, in that place, there were still plenty of people that didn't have contempt for Americans. I read today about so many bad attitudes for Americans that it doesn't sound at all like the same England as back then.
I think things are changing faster there for the worse, but here in the US they are changing for the better. I think conservatism is growing more followers by the day, as people see that the left has no answers and shrinking influence (such as their media (newspaper/tv news wing) :).
Keep fighting the good fight FReepers and when you have a chance, and your enemy is drowning,...take a page from the James Carville playbook and throw that sunn-uva-b!tch an anchor.
Pob hwyl!
John: Please add Wales as a country selection and associate the flag included in the post. Thanks in advance!
Diolch yn fawr!
Glad you are here.
This is why PM Sharon is pursuing the two state solution, to avoid the one state solution the left is promoting.
"The Red Jihad".
There are still many good and decent British people. However, they are very much like Americans who care about freedom, and are seeing it slip away due to our leaders love of open borders and millions of illegals.
There have always be crazies in Britain, however with illegal immigration (particularly the Muslims) literally taking over the country, anti Americanism is running rampant, and will eventually be the downfall of the government and freedom, as it will here in America.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the UK stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the USA in our efforts in Iraq.
One of the few European nations to do so.
And, if I recall correctly, UK voters recently returned to power the same government that sided with the US in our efforts.
Despite the efforts of folks like Galloway.
