lol....so the Brits' panties are in a wad about a few bankers and lack of American military action in Africa (while at the same time complaining about our "authoritarianism" and "hegemony")? Hilarious.

There are probably more people who think England can still win the World Cup [than like President Bush].

You finally hit on it, Gerard: Envy.
England has fallen to the dark side.
