After the BP oil spill the US became very anti British.
Is this still evident now?
No we didn't.
Maybe your Media made it look that way, but that is just how the media works... borderline BS all the time just to make a story if there isn't a real valid one there to begin with.
WTF!! Ok my country is officially **** and generally useless!
I had not heard anything about that but i have always though that Britain was to easy on just about everything from immigration to prison sentancing. We really should stand up for ourselves and just say 'our country, our laws'.

The dislike for BP didn't carry over to the UK. Every American I've ever met seem to like Brits, and Irish, and Australians, and Canadians.
It's when there is a language barrier that some Americans get a little snotty and resentful for having to read or hear languages they may not understand
No one is mad at the Brits, although there is some great concern for what is happening in your Country.
Look, after we whipped that ass in the 1770's...we've liked you guys ever since, sure we've had to bail you out a couple of times, but in the end you guys have been pretty good at doing what we've told you to with regard to foreign affairs.

I must agree with the poster who makes the point that it would be ridiculous for someone to be completely incapable of distinguishing between the acts of a transnational corporation and the country in which that corporation is officially incorporated.
Most people in the U.S. love your accents (present company included).
All of that being said, I do not, will not, and cannot like Wayne Rooney. Period.
No anti-British feelings.
But give us more Rolling Stones and Sex Pistols! They were great!
