If an American comments on the ways that the ordinary Brit spends his life or selects his politics, it goes against the grain and we will retaliate.
I have never seen Americans back out of a situation so fast when the British Servicemen threw each and everyone of the GI'S in the swimming pool with a warning that if they came out of the drink with the same opinion, god help them.
Our Politics are different from our 'Friends' from over the pond and I would say to them: Kiss my Arse Uncle Sam.

With a little change in the spelling, we say the same thing to our neighbours all the time .... we did it when GW asked us to become involved in Iraq .... But I seem to remember that Maggie had her head so far up Ronny Raygun's ass that they both ate from the same plate ... I don't think that this is a good reason for a State Funeral, but, no doubt it will be talked about as "establishing closer ties with the great democracy across the Atlantic".
