No, you said in post 6 you want the special relationship to end, and then in 8, you want another Thatcher which, mind you, has repeatedly exhorted Britons not to ditch the special relationship.
Sorry mate, but you can only choose one. Either a full ally like Thatcher or a still-supportive-but-not-active one like Kohl.
Id still like a very close relationship,if not a ‘special one’.Which can be constraining in many senses to both parties,whereas a close relationship affords a degree of independence,latitude and honesty the former dosent.
My remarks on Maggie were more to do with her wanting to maintain British optimum strength.More than her love of the special relationship.I do disagree somewhat with her on that.
She wants a marriage irrespective of marital problems when I think a strong common-law relationship is healthier....
Yep,I am crap at analogies.....lol
