But all Britons, Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders ought to be
thoroughly ashamed of the fact that the Americans feel no need to spy on us, or
at least not properly.
If ours were self-respecting, sovereign states, then the
Americans would treat us exactly as they treat the French and the Germans, and
we would treat the Americans exactly as the French and the Germans do.

WWII marked the transformation from a British Empire-Commonwealth characterised by the UK at its heart with the Dominions around it in uneasy relationship with the Great Republic, to a pax Americana characterised by the US at its heart with the new Dominions (first among them the UK) around it.
