Our crumbling relations with the UK didn’t all begin overnight—it started a few months ago.
The Brits are most recently upset with America because the President continues to call BP “British Petroleum,” when they ditched that name a while back. It’s also upsetting to them because constantly connecting the worst oil spill in U.S. history to Britain isn’t exactly great PR for them—yet the President continues to refer to BP as British Petroleum.
The whole thing is like calling KFC “Kentucky Fried Chicken,” and blaming the state itself for fried-chicken induced comas across the country.
But that’s only the insult to the injury—by throwing his weight around with BP, he could potentially cost the British millions—billions—of dollars in revenue. He even said he wanted to “know whose ass to kick” in BP. The British will suffer as BP suffers.
