Why is it that in just about any industry, the "management" and "workers" are pretty much considered seperate entities and the management saying they support/believe something does not imply that the workers do (and it's often the opposite)?

I disagree with you nico
I think it is a perfect analogy.
In almost any union type situation if you wish to be upwardly mobile you have to play the politics of the day. Police are no different

agricola is simply defending his countrymen, as any of of would do if America was verbally maligned for the comments of one of our own loudmouths

Agricola is right, of course. Most Englishmen are not fools, and Cortolazzi's article only proves that he's a fool.

Just my take

I own a gun....

Anti gunners do not own a gun ...




End of discussion...

Easy on the stereotypes ... I've not ever set foot in the U.K., but, having been privileged to so some things with members of the British armed forces, I can tell you that not all Brits share the feelings of the ambassador. In fact, a fun bunch of guys to drink copious amounts of malt beverages with, and they also like shooting guns.
Feel free, however, to say things about the French (I've been there and I'm sure I'd agree) ...

Don't be so sure.

I went to school there for a year (1984-85). The Scottish, Irish, and Welsh were all pretty much nice decent folks. Gregarious fun loving sorts who reminded me of the people here in TN. The English? Fuhgeddaboutit! 40+ years of socialism have ruined whatever sense they may have had. There was strong support there for Arthur Scargill and his miners, despite Scargill's open Marxism and the sorry state of British mining. Meanwhile, they were comparing Reagan to Hitler. I guess someone must have voted for Thatcher but I never met him.
