MAYBE Mr Burton does not realise that USA was a major factor in winning both World Wars. The cost of saving Britain in the Second World War cannot be counted in dollars that we have paid since. Their effort was priceless.
More than two million Yanks passed through Southampton, many thousands never to return. Would he preferred two million Nazis to include these shores?
Cost in dollars he must be joking? He would not had change of a Reich Mark! No humbug about this special relationship.
