David Cameron, as part of his election campaign, has flown off to the White House to boost his credentials as a world statesman of whom note is taken. It will impress voters. Actually it won’t because as the old saying goes, those voters have other fish to fry. Living standards, immigration, the NHS, their children’s schools, job prospects for the young; all the stuff Cameron does not want to talk about. By contrast Labour talks about nothing else, but not enough people are listening. Maybe their leader is a bit, well kind of, you know. Of course loads of people listen to Nigel, mostly in pubs. Then there’s Nick. Yes. Who?
So David will cosy up to Barak and they will agree on everything as they always do anyway. It is a fact worth noting that the US has the strongest recovery in the West following the recession and it is based on the diversity of its economy with its technological lead, its manufacturing capacity, its near self sufficiency on fair value energy and its can do culture.
There is another factor which makes Cameron feel good. America is the only country in the world that owes more money than the UK. Phew, that’s a relief.
