I saw a programme once with a bloke walking round with a map with all the countries names removed and asking random americans to point to Iraq, Australia, England, France etc......you wouldn't believe how the vast majority were geographically stupid (probably just stupid all together), they seemed to have a real "who cares if it doesn't affect me" sort of attitude as most americans never leave the country.....

Ady, I said select not elect.

You DID elect Blair, he came with Brown as Chancellor, it was during the Blair PM and Brown Chancellor period that your economy became rooted. By the time that Brown inherited the PM's job, things were already stuffed and the GFC just made it worse.

Johnny, Essex, probably. Dorset as well maybe? Last time I went there, i couldn't understand a word anyone said. Other regional accents don't seem so unintelligable.

Bk on your anti-British horse again, and someone from the deep south of England Whilst Blair was one of the biggest sleaze balls ever to take office, i would say on the "intellectual" level you could hardly compare him to Bush, or possibly even Reagan, or Fox news future candidate Palin I thought Murdoch and News Int voted these people in, not the masses  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

I'm always amazed when people call Bush stupid - he succeeded in getting voted in as President twice a feat that I doubt anyone who was stupid could ever achieve. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Zilch

I didn't compare Blair, Brown or anyone with Ronny or George W. I was merely suggesting that per capita, I don't notice Americans being any more stupid than some Brits, or Aussies for that matter. The uneducated are everywhere, not just the USA. If you see that as being anti British then that's your perogative.
