British diplomats in the US have been forced to apologise after revealing they were hosting a party to celebrate the anniversary of the burning of the White House.
The British Embassy in Washington held a White House barbeque yesterday to mark the two hundredth anniversary of Britain capturing the US capital and setting fire to the Presidents iconic address.
The Embassy even sent a message on Twitter from its official account with a photograph of a White House cake, flanked by British and American flags and surrounded by sparkler fireworks.

One can imagine the thought that comes to mind.
Interesting article, all about our so called allies.
Why are we allies? Force of habit? Sense of inferiority?
While I was reminded last night on another thread who won the war of 1812 is a subject of debate, we still won the war that mattered. A victory we celebrate every July 4th.
I was not offended. It made me laugh.
I’m over it. Let the Brits have their sparklers.
Maybe during our July 4th celebrations we should tar and feather members of the British Royal Family.
Obama burned any bridges we had with the UK.
Frankly I have no problem with them celebrating this event in their embassy. I would hope they have no problem with us celebrating the Fourth of July at our embassy.
I understand the sentiment.

London is the capitol of the world.
Why? Bet a lot of people are thinking that the last few years.
Well Obama inspires this lack of respect.
Also since Obama acts as if the Constitution is a bothersome document getting in his way then what’s the problem with the brits honoring Ross...I bet Obama wishes they were successful!
Knowing what Obama thinks of the Brits, I am quite sure the British would like to burn the White House again - with its present occupants in it.
That’s okay. A few days later we killed Gen. Ross at North Point Nd stopped them cold in Baltimore. Bottom line: We kicked their asses twice and saved their asses twice in major conflicts.
Burning the White Hut down seems like the kind of celebration Bammy would like.
it’s all in good fun..
We should hold a party commemorating the Battle of New Orleans where British suffered the most lopsided of all defeats, ironically after the war was officially over.
I wonder if Obama sent them a harshly worded letter demanding his iPod back?
They may have been the first and only but they won’t be the last. Besides, I am sure it is all in god fun. Losers of that war need to have something to perk themselves up. (hehe)
