House of Commons - No special relationship between Britain and US

First of all, Russia sacrificed more to ‘save our ass’ fighting for a common interest against the Germans, secondly, Britain paid a price for American help, with usurious interest, even if that wasn’t the case, Britain does not owe America perpetual gratitude for being an ally in WWII, any more than America owes France, Spain and Holland any for helping ensure that your country came into being in the first place.
Besides, can you really blame British legislators for taking this attitude when Britain has sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan and this current president craps all over our faces whilst bowing to foreign tyrants and despots who are predisposed to anti-american hostility?
Instead of attacking this British attitude, perhaps you should hang your head in shame for being a member of the nation responsible for electing the Obamination into the White House in the first place?

Get a hold of yourself, Mr. Bean. You might notice this site is not exactly the Obammy Fan Club, nor does it support minimalization of US/UK ties by Galloway wannabees. Nobody's happy that the foreign-born Muslim communist in the White House has anti-Anglo proclivities and is hell-bent on disenfranchising our longstanding allies. The MP in question was simply playing into O's strategy of dividing his perceived enemies. We don't want your perpetual gratitude, but we don't want to see the Kenyan idiot's plan to sow contempt between our two nations come to fruition either.

Don't blame the US conservative opposition, which screamed bloody murder from the start, for this temporary mess. You might notice that with the Alinsky tactics combined with an adoring worldwide media (including the BBC), the Progressives in this country could have elected a ham sandwich. That would have been a preferable choice.

BTW, you might want to get away from the WWII revisionism regarding Russia's "sacrifice".

There is no revisionism about Russia’s ‘sacrifice’. The Red Army inflicted about 70-80% of all the Wermacht’s casualties and suffered for their part over a third of all of the war’s total casualties which added up to the loss of about 15% of their entire pre-1939 population. I don’t have an axe to grind on behalf of the Soviet Union, they weren’t fighting for us, they were fighting for themselves, just like every other nation. But the facts are the facts.

That aside, I agree with most of the rest what you say...
