Britain as America's Blind follower

During World War II facing incessant Nazi bombing British PM Churchill was desperate to get America involved. As a part of his please America diplomacy he famously said " We are common people separated by a common language (English). " He managed to convince Roosevelt but the American Congress refused to bulge. Americans wont get involved until Pearl harbor and the rest is history. The reverse is happening now. The British Parliament refused to toe American line against the wish of James Cameron seen as servitude to Obama. Britain has long since lost its world power status. In Odia there is saying "KARPURA UDIJAICHI, KHALI KANA PADICHI", the smell of camphor is gone only cloth remains. It means gone are those glory days. Britain has been desperately trying to piggyback on America to stay in limelight. Maggie Thatcher and John Major had some semblance of independence.Tony Blair started acting like a CHAMCHA (obsequious follower) of his American counterpart. He reminded me of RAM BHAKT HANUMAN (the famous obedient devotee of Ram who blindly followed the diktat of his Lord).  Britishers are learning to come out of what we call in Odia LANGUDA DHARI CHALIBA or in Hindi PUCHH PAKADKE CHAKANA (both meaning tailgating) mode. At last an independent British stand vis-a-vis USA after a long time.
