I had to keep reminding myself that the attitudes expressed by Americans in this talk were 3 years old. I found it frightening that the same insane hubris is showed today. I just wish the UK would wake up and distance themselves before the US takes us down with them.

I remember Alisdair Cooke well. My partner was a firmer printer, then journalist and finally z Fleet Street sub-editor. He knew Cooke when they were young, before he went to America. Alan thought him the finest journalist/ broadcaster of their generation. It was essential, if home to listen on a Sunday morning.
