Cameron: Romney has "Unique distinction of uniting all of England against him"

Cameron 'claimed Britain is united against Mitt Romney'

Harvey Weinstein, an Oscar-winning producer, said he had personally heard Mr Cameron make the disparaging remarks to a group of people.

The revelation will risk inflaming tensions between Mr Cameron and Mr Romney, which could make trans-Atlantic relations difficult if the Republican wins the race.

Mr Weinstein told the BBC: “I witnessed Prime Minister saying to a group of people, myself included, that Mitt Romney had that unique distinction of uniting all of England against him with his various remarks. On behalf of my love of England, I have to support the President [Barack Obama] who is anything but making faux-pas.”

Mr Romney did not win many fans during his visit to Britain when he publicly cast doubt on whether Britain was prepared for the Olympics.

at the office she usually will not reply to anything overtly political that I'm saying on my end. During the Olympics, she called from the office, said 'I am at work and we want to say Mitt is a Twit' and the entire office cheered into the phone. They were indeed united against Mitt.

I can't think of one single foreign leader or diplomat that supports Mr. Romney. Oh, wait...there is one that I can think of.

Thats great news,

Romney is a divider, not a uniter. Of course the Tea baggers will dismiss this report as nothing other than the ranting of foreigners.

get the red out

I really don't want to think about how he would do with nations that aren't particularly fond of us.
