Despite my status as a heterosexual male, one of my favorite films is Love Actually.
Unlike with my music, I am a fan of fun-loving, feel good films and Love Actually bounds into that category like a company-deprived puppy who hears the front door opening.
It features one of my favourite speeches of all time, given by Hugh Grant as The Prime Minister.
"I love that word "relationship." Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship; a relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, erm... Britain. We may be a small country, but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that."
And for now, that about sums it up.
