the French and Germans don't seem so bad any more?

Your question is out of date. It's really the president that people don't like and the fact that so many voted against him has already helped dissipate anti-Americanism among most people I know

I live in the UK, in the West Midlands, and I have never experienced any sort of Anti-Americanism whatsoever.
However, as for your question, I have witnessed anti European Union sentiment quite a bit during my year of being here. Towards the French, Germans, Italians, and Spanish.
Maybe it is just ill feelings concentrated on immigrants from Europe coming into the UK...
C = JD: So true! I remember my grandfather telling me about how hard he laughed when he saw Europeans marching through the streets of their capitals burning American flags. But back in 1945 they all wanted to sleep with an American. How quickly people forget who they owe.

We are already close to the EU, to close, the reason for our being so close is firmly on Mr Blair's shoulders. Blair does not believe in consulting the British public on small policies like losing sovereignty, losing control of our country to a European Super State' and passing our legal system over to Europe.
New Labour' is made up of some old labour MP's and a majority of communist party members New labour is the new fascist party: It has formed a secret police force; is cotiplating reducing our fredoms of speech by statute;giving millions of pounds to rebuild Iraq when New labour has refused to compensate members of private pension schemes ( New Labour and Gordon Brown are responsible for desroying these schemes).
New Labour are bent on ethnic cleansing the English, Scots and Welsh to make way for a new British population under a one partystate.
The Anti American feeling is about the imperial nature of America at the present time, Blair and Bush lied to take us to war with Iraq and have done throughout this war, America has tortured civilians and soldiers alike and commited atrocities that the Germans in the 2nd world war could not even think of, America has built concentration camps with the soul perpose of interigating and tortuing of freedom fighters, America has refused to send their soldiers who have wiped out British soldiers under so called freindly fire to an inquest to explain their actions and so on and on and on. Do you really wonder why there is so much anti American feeling, of couse there are some good Americans but the truth is America represents itself and itself alone we have been duped it is time for Britain to rethink and that can't in all seriosness be done with idiots like Blair and Brown in power. We must be looking for dramatic change in our politics.

I thikn this is quite possible.
I've never beleived in the "special relationship" anyway - they didn't treat us as "special" when they were sending their NORAID dollars to the IRA to pay for bombs to slaughter kiddies with.
Trouble with Europe is there's still a lot of emotional baggage left from 60 years ago - WWII. Plus language barriers etc. I mean we Brits can happily watch American films and TV shows, listen to American rock bands etc but how many of us watch German or Italian films or listen to German or Italian bands? Not many. Partly because they are not always very good and partly because of the language barrier.

No. We can't speak the lingo and never will so America will always be the first cultural reference. Plus the French are cheese eating surrender monkeys and the Germans are war-mongering sausage eating weirdos.

Funny that Europe is "anti-American." We have been their security blanket for the last 60 years, and our thanks is arrogance and condescension.
Meanwhile, Muslim immigrants are telling the average European what to do and when to do it, and the Euros comply fully in their cultural suicide all in the name of the fantasy also known as "multiculturalism."
