WikiLeaks: Britain mocked by US over 'special relationship'
US officials privately mocked Britain’s 'paranoia' over maintaining the 'special relationship', cables released by WikiLeaks suggest.

'This period of excessive UK speculation about the relationship is more paranoid than usual... This over-reading would often be humorous, if it were not so corrosive,' wrote Richard LeBaron

Richard LeBaron, the US deputy chief of mission, said the obsession with the alliance would “be humorous, if it were not so corrosive”.
He also reported to Washington that it would be “tempting” to take advantage of Britain’s attitude.
The documents show that senior Conservative policians met with members of President Barack Obama's administration before the election to promise a "much more pro-American" regime.
The Tories, including some who are now members of the Cabinet, promised to buy more US weapons and to "fight together" more closely in future.
The documents suggest a faint ridiculing of Britain's attitude to the US, with politicians described as "paranoid" about maintaining the "special relationship" with the US.
The Americans observed that the eagerness to maintain the political understanding "would often be humorous if it were not so corrosive" and that, in theory, the US could take advantage to "make London more willing to respond favourably when pressed for assistance".
However, the officials note that it would not be in the long-term interests of the US to do so.
The documents show that Liam Fox, the Defence Secretary, met with Louis Susman, the US ambassador, in December last year and "affirmed his desire to work closely with the US if the Conservatives party wins power... adding that "we [the Tories] intend to follow a much more pro-American profile in procurement."
The cable, sent to Washington on December 10, 2009, Mr Susman continued that Dr Fox added "increasing US-UK interoperability is the key" and "expressed confidence regarding US leadership in Afghanistan and optimism about the way forward".
The ambassador reported that Dr Fox refuted claims that the Tories would be "supplicants to" rather than "partners with" the US.
William Hague, now the Foreign Secretary, was keen to convince the US deputy chief of mission, Richard LeBaron, that he, David Cameron and George Osborne were "staunchly Atlanticist".
Mr LeBaron reported, in a cable marked "no foreigners" and sent on April 1, 2008, that Mr Hague informed him he enjoyed holidays in America and had an American sister.
Mr Hague said: "We want a pro-American regime. We need it. The world needs it."
In a later classified report, sent in February 2009, Mr LeBaron questioned the close attention paid by British officials to ostensibly small signals from the US.
One example was President Obama's return of a bronze bust of Winston Churchill to the British Embassy shortly after taking office. It had been loaned to George W Bush after the September 11 attacks.
He wrote: "The British ask, is our special relationship still special in Washington?
"More than one HMG [Her Majesty's Government] senior official asked embassy officers whether President Obama meant to send a signal in his inaugural address about US-UK relations by quoting Washington during the revolutionary war [against Britain], while the removal of the Churchill bust from the Oval office consumed much UK newsprint."
He added: "This period of excessive UK speculation about the relationship is more paranoid than usual... This over-reading would often be humorous, if it were not so corrosive."
Mr LeBaron continued: "Though tempting to argue that keeping HMG off balance about its current standing with us might make London more willing to respond favourably when pressed for assistance, in the long run it is not in US interests to have the UK public concluding the relationship is weaking, on either side.
"The UK's commitment of resources - financial, military, diplomatic - in support of US global priorities remains unparalleled."

Having reflected about this, I have the obvious solution to this problem.

Grow some balls and tell Uncle to fuck off.
