Obama didn’t think that Britain was an ally of the US either, so much so as to denigrate and degrade the special relationship. Mattered nothing to him that David Cameron and Theresa May think exactly like he does.
Britain’s biggest problem these days is that the ruling Tories are indistinguishable from Labour or the LibDems. But would you call someone like Nigel Farage anti-US?
Individuals such as Nigel, Katie Hopkins, Tommy Robinson, Pat Condell, no, of course I wouldn’t call them anti-American. What I am talking about is how they vote and what their national policies are.
One can always count on Britain to join other countries against us just to prove they are “independent.” How many times have we seen it reported that May and Merkel are going to take a hard line against the US and lecture the American president?
When has the British Parliament ever debated whether or not to ban a US president? Last one I can think of was George Washington.
Nigel Farage is a minority.
The majority of the Brits hate Americans and would love to see us destroyed. They regard us as inferior to them in every way.
There is no “special relationship”. The UK and the rest of Western Europe can pound sand.
