    Very funny. One thing though, Reeboks are made in Bolton, Manchester, England. Apart from that F*** Yeah!
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Thanks for posting this IA. Fascinating. My dad lives in Canada not too far from Kingston (Canada) and Ft Drum (US). I remember about 15 years ago he was telling me about some Canadians talking about Ft Drum being used as a base to launch an attack against Canada. I thought it was absurd. I guess it wasn't that absurd after all.

    Thanks Greg.

    Yes from our perspective it looks ludicrous. However the point is made in the film the the British relinquished their hegemony to the Americans without a struggle. OK the second world war did play a part in that, as we both understood it was in both our interests to smooth the transition.

    However, I think it had more to do with the public on both sides of the Atlantic seeing each other as partners and friends. As it should be.

    I doubt that. Who didn't see it coming?

    This is the Backroom video thread so if you want to discuss Russophobia, I suggest an appropriately named thread.
