Take that Blondie!

Oh dear, oh dear. It looks as though our special relationship with the United States might have seen slightly better days. The BP spill has made headlines around the world, and everyone, but everyone has something to say on the matter. Not all of them, however,  are as good as David Letterman’s quip “I went to lunch in Louisiana and ordered crab cakes. The waiter asked if i wanted leaded or unleaded.”

The big bust up is mostly between us and them. BP is a British company, however 40% of their shares are owned by Americans, as is the oil rig. Barack Obama has laid the blame firmly at our door. So how’s it panning out?

Well, whilst David Cameron is trying not to say too much lest he offend anyone, Nick Clegg, sounding like a knee slapping court jester sang in jovial rhyme “We don’t want a tit for tat diplomatic spat. Tee Hee!” (I added the last bit) So it’s left to Mayor Boris the Brave to throw off such girly wimpishness and step into the ring to tackle the US President. Throwing a fast right hook, he has accused the Obama government of anti-British rhetoric, and stealing money from pensioners.”Take that, Oik!” Obama, falling fast in the popularity landed an ever faster one back saying he’s going to “kick ass“. Ooo, I can barely watch. Will Barack send the blond Brit to his knees, or will Boris rise again? Tally Ho!
