Americans threaten UK over submarine secrets

[Good old]

Not surprising, these spats have been going on for years, all to often to our detriment in so much as their economy invariably benefits far more than ours from any final product.

Or as Palmerston ( and probably a lot of other politicians have said), Britain does not have friends, it has interests.

I have to say, the idea that we can't trust the Yanks but that the French are our best mates is a bit of a stretch, but there you go.

Flawed thinking Borky,didn't say the French are our best mates either,however regarding our security around Europe our concerns are likely to be theirs too.

Can't trust the yanks and that's why for security reasons we need to cooperate with the rest of Europe.

Which doesn't mean rejoining the eu.w

i have said on here for many years , i love the yanks , have family in florida , but cant stand many of their political elite.

The idea that there is some special relationship is nothing more than brit media bullshit , and every now and again , the light gets shone under the stone as in your story above.

Washington doesnt have allies , only interests.
