Another Whitehall official said of Mr Romney’s remarks: ‘What a car crash. We are speechless' - with one aide saying the candidate was 'worse than Sarah Palin', John McCain's 2008 running mate who has a poor reputation in the UK.

Ah, yes. Remind me again why I have such contempt for British politicians on both the Left and Right. What did Sarah Palin say that caused such contempt among British politicians on the Right and Left? Or was it just because they were prejudiced against her? They are petty and small minded.

Romney shouldn't have said what he said but he is right. What I have heard about so far, with some of the presentations and the ceremony, are laughable (the one with the storybook characters sounds cringe-worthy). And the British have committed a couple gaffes of their own already -- putting up the wrong flags when certain athletes are competing.

Britain is a petty, small-minded nation that is incredibly resentful of America. We saw it in the Iraq War, we saw it with how they treated George Bus, we saw it with how they treated Sarah Palin and we see it now. I could care less what they think.

1—Given the debacle of 1996, I’d think Americans would think twice about Olympics mistakes. Clearly not.

2—’Britain is a petty, small-minded nation that is incredibly resentful of America. We saw it in the Iraq War, we saw it with how they treated George Bus, we saw it with how they treated Sarah Palin and we see it now. I could care less what they think.’

No, we not petty minded or small minded. We are a proud nation. Just like you.

Iraq?. You mean that war that we fought alongside you in, as we did and do in Afghanistan?. Gee, thanks for the thanks for fighting and dying alongside you. With people like you, I wonder why we bother.

Resentful of America?. Why?. We were the greatest superpower on earth for nearly 300 years, and we remain a major power. We built much of the modern world, and continue to contribute to the world way beyond our population and size. No great power lasts forever, ours didnt, yours wont. Believe me, we Limeys really dont give a toss what Americans think of us. You like us, great. You dont, well you are only one nation.

How arrogant to think the British viewpoint on the world is tied to what we think of America. Newsflash mate, there is a whole world out there. And most of it isnt America.

3—’I could care less what they think.’

Fine. Dont ever come here. We prefer Americans who respect us.

Anonymous sources often live inside the reporter's head, telling him things he already believes, but lacks the balls to utter himself.

It all started in the weeks after VE Day when they overwhelming voted Winston Churchill out of office and installed Clement Attlee who proceeded to give them socialized medicine and turn a first rate world power which had played the key role in defeating Nazi Germany into a has been and a honey pot for third worlders intent on transforming Great Britain into no longer great.
