Abstract
It was inevitable that Julian Assange’s wikileaks would give unwelcome publicity to the enduring and unequal relationship between Britain and the United States. The Guardian newspaper, under the headline “Tories promised to run a ‘pro-American regime'” has exposed the Coalition government of Cameron and Clegg once again. While during the election campaign both leaders were proclaiming their “independence” of the United States, and criticising New Labour’s “slavishness” towards the US, Cameron’s foreign policy and national security team were paying homage to their imperial overlord. They promised a thoroughly “pro-American regime”, if elected.
