Lay with dogs get fleas. The UK choose to be so close to the US and now they realise how little freedom that gives them.
They were vassals before but post-Brexit all the more so.
Its difficult when you have a two party system and neither have a spine. You end up with Harry Dunn situations where Americans will invent jobs to avoid their citizens getting prosecuted for murdering.
There is no "special relationship", it just seems to be a phrase that politicians use thinking that it fools anyone.
What Harry Dunn situation?
Tlds;
Harry Dunn (19) was riding his bike, and was struck by an American driving on the wrong side of the road, and distracted at the wheel.
She ran from the scene, couldn't be fucked to call emergency services, leaving him to die as she fled the country. The US Government then spent a lot of time coming up with various stories as to why she couldn't be extradited for dangerous driving. I think the last reason was because she was a spy committing espionage, honestly she just sound like a really shit spy who should have been denied like a hot potato.
I think at this point she did a remote court hearing, and got her driving licence suspended for 10 months.
WTF?!?
