http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/Don't you just hate Americans? Everything about them is so utterly crass, so second-rate – from the sloppy way they dress to their junk food and whinging nasal twang. If only they’d leave us alone. But, being Yanks, they won’t, or can't. To a man – even, it seems, to a woman – their sole aim in life is to turn us into Uncle Sams. Sadly, here in the United Kingdom it’s working all too well. Monopoly control of film distribution and cheap TV series ensure American ‘culture’ is everywhere. The result? Massive sales of Levi jeans, MacDonalds burgers, Ford and GM cars, Starbucks coffee, Budweiser beer, Jack Daniel’s whiskey, Dell and Macintosh computers – you name it. And all, in the end, to the detriment of our own native culture. However, for us British it doesn’t have to be this way. From today – appropriately, the eve of Prince Charles' and Camilla Barker-Bowles' historic wedding – let’s strive to make a stand against American encroachment. Let’s, for example: • Shourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/273333That's all for now, folks! But I will return - one day.http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/272890What’s so very annoying to the English is the way Americans continue to mess about with their language. Labour is now spelt labor, behaviour has become behavior and every other word seems to end in –ize. Yesterday, July 4, the Yanks were no doubt celebrating Independence Day with Coca Cola and...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/272534It's ironic - the one country that should never have been given free reign is celebrating Independence Day today. From the start, America has ridden roughshod over countries large and small. And as you will have seen from my previous posts, the reason is very simple - pure greed. First land was...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/272436Do you recall this introduction to my post of Thursday, May 12? IRAQ? IT WAS THE OIL, STUPID! Why did you Americans attack Iraq? Was it: a) to unearth and destroy weapons of mass destruction? b) to remove a cruel dictator? c) to bring peace and democracy to a troubled region? Of course not. As we...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/272111Without oil the United States grinds to a halt - hence the Iraq war and America's need to control the Middle East. Shocked? Don't be. The US is simply staying true to form. Did you know, for example, that throughout World War 2 this self-styled God's Own Country traded with Nazi Germany - even...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/271765Once again, it's time to get back to basics: to explain the reasons Americans are hated by so many people throughout the world - this time in a little more length, depth and detail. No apologies. Quite simply, the US has made it too difficult for other people to exist. In economic terms, this is...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/271569Americans constantly brag about being the best at everything. In fact, it's almost impossible to have a reasonable conversation with one of them without being harangued on the wonders of the US, its products and citizens. Why is this? Is it a sense of insecurity, a feeling of inferiority, or a...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/271422In response to RAME earlier today I suggested a country's leader reflected its society. And this got me thinking. Just how well qualified are Americans to govern the world? Do you trust them with complicated issues and delicate negotiations? I certainly don't, as you know. But don't allow me to...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/271266Americans deceived the world to start their war with Iraq. Which leads me to wonder – is deception an American characteristic? Indeed, are the writers on this site actually who and what they appear to be? Somehow, I don’t think so. For example, I believe that: Ariala is, in reality, a bimbo from...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Limey/271064Now there’s an American in Britain everyone absolutely hates - including me. Twenty-two year-old Douglas Havard, from Dallas, Texas, has been jailed for six years for credit card fraud. He made fake credit cards with stolen bank details as part of a global syndicate. More than £700,000 is known...
