THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP REMAINS SOLID DESPITE ALL THE NASTY THINGS THEY SAID

Dave Clegg ,or whatever his name is, has reassured Hilary Clinton that no matter what the Americans said behind their backs nothing will destroy the fabled special relationship between the coalition and the senior partner.

Now I find that even more sickening than Nick Cameron muttering on about how junior we are. I mean anyone who is half way sentient, and able to read words of more than three letters knows that we are indeed the junior partners, but to take insult after insult on the chin and not ever put up a little resistance, does make the UK look a bit like a bit of a girl’s blouse.

Today’s slice of goodies from the wonderful world of Wiki shows that the Americans thought that both David Cameron and George Osborne were a bit green and that George was decidedly “lightweight”. Neither of them, it was assessed, were interested in the bigger picture, simply the short term political gain for the Tories. Not that it would have taken a genius to work any of that out. The same John Humphries that made Ed Miliband look like the class dunce last week, did exactly the same thing to Osborne only a few months ago.

Clegg was talking after meeting Mrs Clinton in Kazakhstan. He told reporters all the things that they had discussed including the fact that pretty much no matter what they feel about us, and say behind our backs, we will still be their faithful junior servant.

The leaks have also brought up what a catty lot of infighting there is in the Bank of Britain, no sorry England. It seems that Mr Blancheflower thinks that Mr King should go, having been caught reflecting the same views himself about our brave "leaders". However Professor Goodhart, another BoE man, lived up to his name saying that was ludicrous and that Blancheflower had had it in for poor old Merv for ages. As my granny would say, they’re like a bunch of old tea wifies!
