Much like Major Martin (The Man who never was) this is the Relationship that never was.

The Sun announces the death of the "Special Relationship".   The Sun; Saturday 31st August 2013     As with the vast majority of Sun journalistic nonsense over the years, remember "Gotcha", or "The Truth (in relation to the Hillsborough disaster) or "It's the Sun Wot Won it" the front page of this "Newspaper" has screamed Kelvin MacKenzie/Rupert Murdochesque garbage for many years.

Tragically, not only has this has been proved to be correct but at least two people have been killed, a number of people have been injured and there have been countless accidents and near misses particularly at the "Asda" junction. This is in addition to the general congestion reported in this article. Who ever drew up this "improved" traffic scheme for Weymouth and incidentally the surrounding approach roads, has created infinitely more problems than the scheme was
