Britain - still a player on the world stage

Many people think that our Special Relationship with America is over.

That after Tony Blair was forced to get off of his knees and stop fellating George Dubya, the USA zipped up its 'pants' and turned its great fat back on us.

But no. Enormous American conglomerate and money-grubbing censorship-monkeys Google don't think that. Even though they're sitting over there in California - on enormous mounds of dollar bills - they still know that there's a U of K out there.

They even know that we've got a General Election going. And, to mark the occasion they've changed their homepage:

So there you have it. Actual proof that America acknowledges our existence.

Kinda makes you proud, don't it?
