(62,325 posts)79. Lol, and what is your point? We know the UK has been our puppet since Blair dragged his countr.y
along on Bush's illegal foreign adventures. Now they are paying the price. All that proves is how closely tied they are to the US, despite their denials.
It's no good, the world believes they were working for the US just as they were with Assange, another Whistle Blower who was targeted after he went after the banks. But it's backfiring these assaults by the US and their allies on Journalists. They are being trashed all over the world now. And the more people join forces to end this garbage, the sooner it will happen.
Ironically it appears that in their terror of the truth, THEY are the ones who will make it happen.
