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.
