The next time any Brits give you truble, just point out that Tony Blair is Bush's b****, and hasn't left the guy's side in three years. That'll shut them up pretty quick. You can also point out that there are varying opinions in any country- ask them if they support their prime minister.

A few words on your xenophobic outlook... The idea that British society is some American hating populace is complete gibberish. The idea that the random Brit always has some beef with the USA and shall decide to loudly hold the first random N. American they see personally responsible is equally baseless. Yes, one may meet a tree hugging hippy communist beatnik who has jumped onto a let's bash the USA bandwagon but that could happen
anywhere and is NOT some sort of endemic British attitude. I have a much better handle on what the view is of people on each side of the pond than you believe you have from 'something you read somewhere'. As for your childish comments on the British Prime Minister (again a rehashed journalist comment you hijack to attempt to bolster your wholly ill-informed attitude), it has LONG been the case that in developed countries (and those held to be 'superpowers, in the G8 etc) the
leaders work together; for reasons of economics, political relations etc. John Major often flew over to meet and speak with Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher worked closely with Ronald Reagan. It is not as seem you seem to suggest a dark conspiracy and a domination/submission situation between President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair it is just a case of inter-country relations.
