Louis Susman dismisses Lockerbie bomber row as ‘a little spat’ and insists Obama regards UK as ‘our best friend’
(Brian howes) Let me tell you how it really is! Obama asks for more troops from the UK and he gets them, Obama wants Gordon Brown to lick his ASS and Giordon Brown is happy to do so. Obama increases security in US airports so Gordon Brown has to follow! Obama says keep all wrong doings in the Iraq war secret and Gordon Bronw say yes sir!
The UK is a puppet to US policy and The UK no longer have any say in policy. Gordon Brown do us a favour and Die.
‘Best friends’ Gordon Brown and Barack Obama discuss policy in the Oval office. Britain’s special relationship with the United States is “stronger than ever” under Barack Obama, the American ambassador to London said today.
There has been speculation that Obama’s foreign policy approach – and his personal history of his grandfather being tortured by British colonial authorities during the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya – might lead to a cooler relationship than was the case when his predecessor George Bush and Tony Blair went to war together in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Louis Susman insisted that Obama regards the UK as “our most important ally and our best friend” and dismissed the recent row over the liberation of the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi as “a little spat” of the kind that occurs in any happy marriage.
Susman said Washington had not ruled out following Britain in imposing taxes on bankers’ salaries, after the announcement by the chancellor Alistair Darling of a one-off 50% levy which some commentators suggested would drive high-fliers to relocate from London to alternative financial centres such as New York.
In an interview with BBC Radio 4’s The World At One Susman dismissed any suggestion of a cooling in relations since Obama took office a year ago. “I think the special relationship, as we normally define it, is stronger than ever,” he said.
“With the previous relationship, Mr Blair and Mr Bush had not only a governmental relationship but a very personal relationship – it was more like thinking with the same mind all the time – and I think we are going through some of that now, watching the British inquiry into the lead-up to Iraq.
“President Obama considers the UK our most important ally and our best friend. He constantly expresses … our appreciation for the sacrifice which you are making right now in Afghanistan and the bravery and courage of your soldiers who are dying alongside our soldiers.
“When you look at it in terms of intelligence, we share so much of our intelligence with each other to do counter-terrorism. If you look at it militarily, we are moving forward potentially on joint procurement, joint exercises, joint efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“When you look at it in terms of economics and how we are trying in the financial institutions and what we did through the G20 in global co-ordination to stop this terrible recession, I think it is very, very strong.”
Asked about US anger over the decision to allow Megrahi to return to Libya because of his terminal cancer, Susman said: “The special relationship is very strong. It is like a strong marriage. Every once in a while you have a little spat.
“This was a spat. This was a case where friends can disagree.”
He laughed off calls from some US figures for a boycott of Scottish products, saying he still drank Scotch whisky, visited Scottish golf courses and wore Scottish sweaters.
Susman also rejected claims that Obama had failed to consult Nato allies over his decision to increase US troop numbers in Afghanistan by 30,000, saying there was “immense consultation” with Britain, France and other alliance members.
He said environmentalists were wrong to accuse Obama of preventing an ambitious climate change deal at last month’s Copenhagen summit by failing to come forward with an improved offer for US greenhouse gas emission cuts or put a figure on how much America was prepared to contribute to a $100bn (£62bn) global fund to help poorer countries adapt.
Both these issues were matters for congress to approve and it would have been inappropriate for the president to commit himself without first securing its backing, he said.
However, he said: “Every participant in that conference knew when America says we will pay our share of the $100bn, we will pay our share.”
Susman said Gordon Brown had been “a leader” alongside Obama and others in guiding the world out of recession. And he appeared to hold out the possibility that Obama may consider a tax on bankers’ bonuses to match Darling’s 50% levy on those over £25,000.
“In terms of the tax on bonuses, I think we are looking at everything and we are going to have to see how the financial community conducts itself,” he said.
“I’m not sure what we might do. I would only suggest that the G20 talked about deferred compensation and clawbacks and they expect people to act reasonably. We are waiting to see if people act reasonably. We have to keep our options open.”
Prime Minister pledged to investigate all options
8:38am Friday 1st January 2010 (Opinion by Brian Howes: GORDON BROWN AND THE LABOUR PARTY FALSE PROMISSES, GORDON BROWN AND THE LOCAL LABOUR MEMBER VERA BAIRD ARE JUST GETTING A QUICK FIX BY PRETENDING TO DO SOMETHING, AND WHEN IT FAILS THEY LOOK GOOD FOR PRETENDING TO TRY. REMEBER THIS AS IT IS THE WAY OF LABOUR MEMBERS AND I WOULD WANT TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT WAS DONE!
I PREDICT THAT ALL THAT IS DONE IS VERA BAIRD ASKED THE COMPANY NOT TO CLOSE CORUS AND NO MONEY WILL BE OFFERED BY LABOUR. LABOUR SUCK! GORDON BROWN THE ONE EYED MONSTER IS A TRUE LIAR.
I wish all of eeside an happy future free from deception and many new jobs.
By Graeme Hetherington
GORDON BROWN has agreed to personally intervene in a last ditch effort to save the threatened Corus steel plant in Redcar.
The Prime Minister pledged to investigate all options before speaking directly to senior executives at parent group Tata.
He also told a delegation of Teesside MPs who briefed him on the situation that he would not rule out offering a financial incentive to any potential investors.
With thousands of staff facing redundancy, Vera Baird, Ashok Kumar and Dari Taylor, travelled to Scotland to meet Mr Brown on Wednesday night.
Time is running out to stop the closure of Teesside Cast Products, but the three MPs remain hopeful the Government can broker a last-minute deal to find a buyer.
Middlesbrough Mayor Ray Mallon and Boro Chairman Steve Gibson – who have both been critical of the MPs’ efforts to stop the Corus closure – last night welcomed the intervention.
However, union bosses were more reticent.
Speaking after the meeting, Redcar MP Mrs Baird said: “I was able to update the Prime Minister regarding the detail of my involvement over the last year, and in particular recent discussions and some options for moving forward.
“The Prime Minister said he would take these away, do more work and ensure consideration was given over the next few days.
“There was a real sense of urgency, which we welcomed.
“We have now got to keep going – anything that has to be done, will be done.”
The MPs are hopeful a potential buyer can be found after a proposed take-over collapsed days before the company announced the mothballing plans last month.
Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland MP Dr Kumar said: “I am convinced that Tata want to keep this process plant open, but they want governmental support.
“They are unhappy that they have not received enough support over the last year.”
Ms Taylor, MP for Stockton South, said: “We have ensured he (Gordon Brown) is aware of the concerns and feelings of all involved on Teesside.”
Geoff Waterfield, multiunion chairman at the plant, said: “Let’s see what Gordon Brown does.
“Is he going to pick up the baton and run with it, or is he just going to pay lip service to the fight?
“It’s not like he was unaware of the problem, as we drew it to his attention at the GMB conference in June, so it will be very interesting to see what he actually does.
“We have got to keep going until we get a solution for Teesside because it is about more than Corus staff – the closure will have a devastating effect on the community.
“Small businesses are going to really start to struggle with this potential closure and the amount of jobs that have already been lost at the chemical plants on Wilton.
“Soon the country will not have anything to offer the world in the way of manufacturing and we will be forced to buy everything in.”
Mr Mallon said: “There is sometimes a tendency to put things on the back burner over Christmas, but it is pleasing to see that has not happened in this case.
“I have had several discussions with Vera Baird on this matter.
“We both share the same aim of saving steel making.
“Time is of paramount importance and our efforts will continue round the clock.”
Mr Gibson said: “The important thing now is that they keep up the pressure on the Government to find a solution because the end of steel making in this region would have a devastating impact on the Tees Valley economy.”
