"Most Britons see America as a cruel, vulgar, arrogant society, riven by class and racism, crime-ridden, obsessed with money and led by an incompetent hypocrite"

Clearly the MSM is effectively communicating the picture that the American left wants the world to see.

We have a number of Brits that are regular FReepers. I have found that they are very pro US and are great people.

While the United States invented many things, the United Kingdom did, too. Also, as technology generally is often cumulative, American inventions were built on the inventions from other countries.

It was probably a poll from some left leaning website that allows one to vote on unlimited times......Just a guess.

People are going to bitch no matter what. Any Brit will whine about how we sat out the war until Pearl Harbor, and now they whine that we are trying to protect democracy overseas.

Not all Brits view America in negative ways. Far from it. Without you policing the world we would be up the creek without the proverbial paddle.

Funny how the liberals hate racism - but are happy for Americans to cop it.

Regards to you all especially for July 4th.

A message to the Europeans and the rest of the World: Jealousy is a very destructive vice.

What an ironic July 4th joke. Britain only wishes they had not lost the Revolutonary War - else they could still be an empire builder. Life has not been quite as good for them since.

"But frankly, so do you [the British press]."

I can only hope that the edited word was "wankers".

In the last 120 years, the United States has much more technological inventions and breakthroughs than the whole world combined.

Most Britons see America as cruel,vulgar,arrogant society, riven by class and racism, crime-ridden, obsessed with money and led by an incompetent hypocrite.

When they came to visit, they should have seen more than just New York.

This is what happens when the English get sent packing from the World Cup, their press seek to turn vicious on any big enough target in sight.

Disregard this trash.
