For a poignant vignette of Britain's fabled "special relationship" with the United States, you should know that back in the day, visitors to Tony and Cherie Blair's small private flat above Downing Street would note that they had prominently displayed no fewer than four pictures of themselves with the Clintons. How many do you reckon Bill and Hillary had of themselves with the Blairs? I'd guess the full nought, though perhaps the help would have been charged with sticking a small one up in one of the meeting rooms each time the couple paid a fawning visit in their capacity as Dearest Allies.
