The Special Relationship is a British political fantasy, the Americans
have no concept of it and don't know what we are talking about.

Didn't some old-school politician once compare the "special
relatonship" with that between a prostitute and her client ?

Sounds like it should be a Churchill witticism, but he is probably the only
British political leader to have had a genuine special relationship with an
American President.
