It was a dread-inducer listening to the start of the outpouring of guff about the so-called ‘special relationship.’ This relationship, aka ‘one way street,’ will feature in miles and miles of churnalism when the Obamas turn up for a state visit in May. The Glendas and the Phil Spaces will make some easy money regurgitating ancient writings about how wonderful the special relationship has been for the UK. Almost all of it complete twaddle.
Watching allegedly sane men scrabbling for a position next to the annointed ones is deeply sick-making. Wee Gordy Broon’s desperation to be seen looking statesmanlike by the side of Obama said plenty about his rationality and his vulnerability.
Seems we are going to get tons of the same from the ‘Call Me Dave’ camp as our beloved leader will hold manly poses with their beloved leader. Will he hold his arms bent out at an angle like his hero, Tony Blair? Will he strut alongside Obama, leaking power and machismo from every pore? Will any of this strutting, preening and pomp produce anything worthwhile?
Don’t bank on it.
