Special relationship

Matthew Barzun, the new American ambassador to London, has told the American Senate Foreign Relations Committee: "If confirmed, I will work every day to nurture and deepen this special relationship..."

Let's get this straight Mr Barzun.  There is no special relationship.  You are not our friend; we are not your friend; the United States and the United Kingdom are sovereign nations who currently have common interests.

So stop the patronising and infantalising garbage about special relationships.
