All I am saying is I am done with the U.K.
They have shown themselves to be cowards and back stabbers. I wish nothing but the worse for them. I will boycott anything that comes out of the U.K., they can all go choke on a dick and die.
America needs to separate themselves from the U.K., I was able to talk to a few people today about this, and pretty much everyone I talked to said they are going to boycott the U.K.
If any of those cock suckers show up on our soil they should be shot. Fuck the rest of the world, we help them and they fuck us over. Its time to return to the mind set that America is number 1 and fuck the rest of the world.[/quote]
I am a British citizen and do not agree at all with what our goverment has done. Also a very large majority of the British public are disgusted with the lack of integrity of certain politicians in uk over this affair.
However for you to call us cokcsuckers and to say we should be shot if we show up on your soil is very offensive.
For along time the UK has been one of the us most loyal allies and we have proved this many times with action and not words. Many British soldiers have be killed alongside US servicemen in Afganistan and Iraq.
For you to say “they can all go choke on dick and die” shows real ignorance and shallow thinking. Also it is very easy to talk tough on an internet forum. I wonder if you were in a bar with a british soldier you would be quite so forthright and vocal (somehow, i doubt it). I really am hoping you reply to this.
Don’t take these comments to indicate much beyond frustration with current events. I don’t agree with the release either, but some of the comments are over the top, and should be taken as blowing off steam.
Also, to play devil’s advocate, the US government stood by for years while some Americans raised money for the IRA, to the frustration of the British government.
At the end of the day, we are still important allies.

So you disagree that Iran Contra was as shady or worse than whatever deal was behind the release of the Lockerbie bomber.
And for the record a friend of mine’s house was at the bottom of the crater left when the plane crashed.

Don’t denigrate. He made it all the way to boot camp.
Politicians make mistakes; the nature of their job (in a democracy) is to speak and act for the people, thus compromise is an essential part of their role. What I’m getting at is that there were a lot of people in the UK pissed off about al-megrahi’s “release” too. John s is a fool, how did the subject of nukes ever come up in this thread? It’s that sort of fierce, blind nationalism that puts up barriers to diplomacy, and on the other side of the coin, reflects the sort of nationalism that stops the US and the UK set up a democratic system of governance in the middle east.
