That's the nub of it, may18. If a conservative newspaper here printed articles insulting British troops, you'd have seen very angry American posters at FR....and that newspaper would be crawling on its knees begging forgiveness.

So, why does a conservative newspaper in Britain, the biggest one, think it can get away with this? Don't people complain?

You see, here at FR, it seems that some Brits think those articles are just fine. In fact, Ivan posted one himself and thought it was ridiculous that Americans were insulted.

That is what I do not understand.

aaah didnt you know?

the british never complain

dont ask me why, its a british thing

good example, if a typical british couple went for a meal.

and it was substandard, theres a fair chance they wuld still say it was "fine" when asked.

From what ive read of the US, the same wouldnt happen there?

The only time the bbc recieved a LOT of complaints for example. Was when they assembled a hostile audience for the american ambassador.

The complaints where that the bbc was not representing uk opinion.They were forced to make an official apology.

For the record, i have mailed the telegraph regarding their article.
