Interesting observation re America and UK ?

[Chance1234]

saw this on the BBC site today re Tony blair, this was posted by a yank,

I'd take Tony Blair over GW Bush any day. He has more intelligence and vision than any of the last five US presidents. You guys are lucky to have him. If you don't want him, we'll take him. As for your domestic problems, aren't there 60,000,000 other people in your nation who could be doing something about them? Get up off your collective butts and go out there and fix them.

Or the other side of the coin:

MP, Brian Sedgemore attacked Prime Minister Tony Blair's tone in
talking about the action.

"He should stop being so damned preachy
about the alleged moral superiority of this
backward, fractious island of ours off the
coast of north west Europe whose culture
sometimes seems to me to be close to
irreversible decline."

"He should realise, thank God, that everyone
doesn't want to be British."

personally it makes me happy to live in a country where our elected representative can be critised like this. Its good democracy.
I cant imagine a statesman or congressman in the US saying this about Bush.

PULLING IT BACK TO FILMMAKING THE LAST BIT OF THAT QUOTE

Get up off your collective butts and go out there and fix them.

I THINK THAT IS VERY RELATIVE, TONS OF PEOPLE TALK THE TALK IN THIS COUTNRY WHETHER ITS FILMMAKING OR POLITICS OR MUSIC OR ANYTHING

THOUGH ACUTE POINT, TECHNICALLY IT SHOULD BE EASIER FOR U S TO GET OFF OUR "BUTTS" AS WERE NOT AS BIG AS OUR AMERICAN BUDDYS

Actually, prior to the New York incident complaints against the presidents were quite common. I just wish they'd stop bashing the puppets and out the puppeteers.

It is highly unlikely, however, that any major US politician would bash the actual country in that manner. You've got us there.

But to make this an appropriate thread for the forum: How would you have shot the Zapruder (sp?) film?

What on earth are you talking about?
I dont think much thought went, or could have gone into it.
I suspect he was filming on instinct and shock.

*couge, cough* I'll choose to ignore Chances comment and reinstate my protest to this thread.

If I was Abraham Zapruder I think I'd need to be physically supported like he was by his assistant. (or whoever she was)
I know I'd try and get some close ups of the grassy knoll

Odd question.


I must admit I've been impressed with Blair since September 11.
I only hope he has the balls to be brutal with these damned Muslim traitors we have.
It was funny seeing these anti-Americans all decked out in Timberland clothing.

Tony Blairs doing a stirling job as a MURDERER.Lets face if we send ground troops in they're gonna get masacred, as their radio's don't work nor their helicopters nor their tanks,oh and also the SA80 assault rifle which jams in hot and dusty climates .What should us 60,000,000 do to solve those problems.

Also this bullshine about Bin Laden and a nuclear threat, This is propaganda come on guys do you imagine Bin Laden in some lavish hide away surrounded by babes in a wheel chair stroking a white cat with a diamond collar.saying things like "ahh Mr.Bond .......we meet at last."

Public opiniun shifts so the Goverment starts SPINNING.
