The American presidential election (38)
One of the most popular scenes in the film “Love Actually” [my review here] was when the British Prime Minister (played by Hugh Grant) tells the American President (portrayed by Billy Bob Thornton) that the UK is no longer going to follow slavishly US policy.
So it’s good to see the news that US Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has told American supporters in London that the ‘special relationship’ needs to be “recalibrated”.
