My main concern in all of this is to try to establish that America and Britain are truly friends. Even friends so large and powerful have differences of opinion. But 'Yank bashing' seems to be a bit popular at the moment and I think it is sadly misplaced. You and I can agree to differ on this forum and nothing of importance in our lives is going to be changed. When superpower-friends have differences of opinion there is a lot more at stake, but they are still friends. They still need to work together to try to reach a mutually beneficial solution to whatever problem is on the table.

No problem there John and you have stated you case with both honesty and eloquence, the principles of you case I agree with it’s the players I’m not to sure of.
In relation to the first edited Quote, I’m sure your right and the same goes for those who frequent the Pub’s and club’s of Blackpool throughout the 70s, 80, and 90s, they give more support to some of these groups more than they may ever realise. The town was one of the safest places in the UK throughout those periods mainly as a result of the fact that no one wanted to cut off the funding so easily raised in the resort.
