CALL THEMSELVES WRITERS? THEY DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND BASIC ENGLISH!
I've written on several occasions that I'm just one of millions of Britons who has 'difficulty' with our American cousins. The UK Resistance Glossary of Terms, which is in no way connected with me, explains one of the more common problems - language. In this instance, fairly earthy language....

AND THE WAY THEY KILL THEIR INNOCENT CITIZENS
The thought of killing an innocent person is abhorrent to most right-thinking people. For that reason alone I am very grateful we no longer have the death penalty in Britain. But many American states still do, and it’s led to some appalling situations and frightening statistics, as this extract from...

I CAN'T WAIT TO PUT THE BITE ON YOU.
What is this thing Americans have about British teeth? I must have read half a dozen comments saying ours are yellow and crooked. Well, yes, maybe they are in comparison with yours. But then we absolutely hate - and I mean hate with a will - your impossibly white Hollywood gnashers. Almost to a man...

MightyHolyWarrior. You have very conveniently misrepresented my opening statement: ‘Your remarks need to be set in an historical context. For much of the period in question, conquest, slavery and colonialism were universally accepted.’ (No, not fashionable, as you would have it, but accepted). With...

THANKS FOR YOUR FOUL-MOUTHED DIATRIBE
MightyHollyWarrior Ignoring you histrionics, may I briefly point out that your remarks need to be set in an historical context. For much of the period in question, conquest, slavery and colonialism were universally accepted. Today, things are rather different – although America, alone among nations,...

THEY'RE SO VERY, VERY GREEDY
The US has just six per cent of the world’s population – yet consumes around 45 per cent of its resources. No wonder Americans are loathed. Thanks to the Bush administration this consumption also comes at the expense of the environment – encouraged by environmental rollbacks, paybacks to polluters...
