Reagan's Cold War Dream: Outrage over US surveillance base in UK

First, an Independence Day march with a difference - this time it's the British trying to drive the Americans out of a major military facility. It's due to become part of a missile defence shield similar to the 80s 'Star Wars' project. As Laura Emmett reports, activists demanding the base be taken off British soil accuse the U.S. of following Cold War criteria.

RT Why is it that you cover scandolous stories involving the U.S. Government but never cover scandolous stories involving Mother Russia. Hmmm perhaps because they fund you and you not a real news orginization

@joshros its funny because rt always talks about US bias, yet this is just plain propaganda. rt has the biggest hypocrites of any news organization.

Absolute Russian BOLLOCKS, those are the opinions of pussy wipped left wing communist cowards and people who know shit about military and political affairs, especially the bitch at 1.45, shes talkin crap, the base is owned by the RAF and falls under command of an RAF officer who has full access too all parts and complete knowledge of what goes on on the base and reports to the British goverment who own it, the US simply jointly mans the base 2/3rds of personel are American, the rest are British.

@MissileD11 come on European Union's military is powerful enough to defend itself. There wont be any war the way you see it. America has pretty much capitalized the whole world. They have enslaved a lot of countries and have invaded two.

This is where you have to watch out for RT mate. They have an agenda. The UK and US are like two peas in a pod. We do allot of research together in the military sector (this is in fact what they really mean when they say 'special relationship) and the UK has never once asked the US to leave. What RT has done here (as they do so often) is taken the opinions of some hippies/Muslims who are anti west liberals by nature then tried to portray it as "Outrage over US surveillance base in UK".
