No class. At the risk of misquoting, 'be ferocious in battle, magnanimous in victory'. Scenes at the White House remind me of Tripoli, Baghdad and Cairo. People aren't too different from each other wherever you go.

Hot damn, we got him. Woooo Hooooo USA USA USA USA... Makes you proud to be British.
Doesn't it strike anyone else, that an event with such a serious subject matter as this, being boiled down to the number of 'likes' on a bloody Facebook page, might just be trivialising things a bit.
Well I pay little heed to Facebook 'Likes'. My Facebook 'Friends' would click 'Like' on a jobby if I prompted them to.
