Dear Mr David Cameron...

[yrrepsirhc]

If you become the next Prime Minister...

Please don't act like Brown-nosing tt when you meet an American President.

Thank you.

[sone]

I've no doubt Mr Cameron will be just as much of a tt as Mr Broon, and that's why I haven't a clue who I would vote for while Mr C is in charge.
I'm not looking forward to the "what we've inherited" excuse ending every sentence.

No, no, no. Whilst I accept that it's very possible that Cameron could indeed turn out to be a tt, shirley no-one, no matter what their political leanings or background, could ever be as big a tt as old Winky.

Ok I agree but you get my gist!

[Zod]

he will have no need to act like the Brown-noser, because, having won an election, he won't be desperately hoping for the Obama magic to rub off on him and make voters forget that he's a useless fk.

Have you ever known a politician not to act like a brown-nosing tt?

His welcome at PMQs made me sick inside.

Dave's welcome that is.

I've come to expect sycophantism from labour PMs recently though, so I was conditioned to Brown's Browning.

OK, post Maggie, have you ever known a politician not to act like a brown-nosing tt?

Stolen from wiki:

"His (Harold Wilson) government offered some rhetorical support for the US position (most prominently in the defence offered by the Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart in a much-publicised "teach-in" or debate on Vietnam). On at least one occasion the British government made an unsuccessful effort to mediate in the conflict. On 28 June 1966 Wilson 'dissociated' his Government from American bombing of the cities of Hanoi and Haiphong."

Seems more sensible approach than the current one.

You think dissociating ourselves from America at this time (or any time) would be a good idea?

Captain Sensible and the Blah Party?

Yes, wars are hugely expensive (even if you put aside the cost of human life) and what exactly do we get out of it? We don't have better trading terms with the US than anyone else.

So what exactly do we get for supporting the American line on virtually any issue you want to name?

We get lots of oil it seems from the current conflict.

And of course, when one is bullied, it's always helpful to have a really, really, really large big brother to stand shoulder to shoulder with?!?!

How have we got more oil than Germany or France? BP haven't been granted rights to any oil fields that I'm aware of.

We have nukes and are a member of NATO so bullying doesn't really happen. The last time we kicked off the Yanks stayed at home because joining in would have damaged their interests.
