Have you forgotten the extremely close relationship between Mrs Thatcher and Ronald Reagan?

No I haven't, but is was close because it suited her at the time, I am sure the old witch would have had no trouble kicking Reagan's butt if she'd wanted to. The old battle axe didn't give a toss.

I don't think that's true. It wasn't always in our favour - Reagan refused to help us in the Falklands War claiming America was a friend to both countries.

Who fucking cares ?

I think that you will find that attitude was for public consumption.
In actual fact the US gave us no end of help, technically with an endless supply of Sidewinder AA missiles and Intelligence gleaned from their Int means.

Very carefully

Totally correct.

Not sure at all if we are still fully aware of the help that was given, even heard talk of the Americans offering us a small Marine Corp Carrier if either of ours were seriously damaged or sunk, it was not to be used to launch operations but more of a floating recovery pad and workshop.

There was one Prime Minister who told the Yanks to sod off. The story is even told in hushed tones as part of, "American Studies" in the US. I expect the topic is, "Was there ever a British Prime Minister who refused you lick our arse? " Discuss......

Can you imagine any of the yellow bellied, cowardly jerks doing this now? The only surprise is that Tony Blair didn't give Uncle Sam the right to conscript our youths directly, to fight for oil, ie cut out that pesky middle-man the British government!

Well done Harold, they should build a statue of you and place it in front of Parliament as an example to all the wankers inside!!

Lol......

Yes Frank, personally I couldn't give a fuck about "Justice for Abu", but I do care about the Yanks appearing to be now in charge of our legal system. Abu Hamza is no more than a diversion, a side show, so the Yanks can justify meddling in our affairs and to use him to scare their own people.Those who jump for joy at Abu's extradition, will not be laughing, when Uncle Sam ends up having his own seat in our court proceedings whenever he wishes. If this was a two way street it wouldn't be so bad, but show me a case where we have managed to exradite a Yank for some offence?

Here's another case of Uncle Sam stamping all over us:
