Some optimism on Biden's British support
Quote:
While he emphasises his Irish heritage, because that always plays well in American politics, that was his mother's side of the family. His father's side hailed from Sussex...

Look back far enough into his record in US politics and the record shows that in 1982 the young Senator Biden was one of the strongest US supporters of the UK over the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands, while President Reagan and his Secretary of State Alexander Haig at first stayed neutral.

Mr Biden was the sponsor of a Senate resolution demanding that Washington declare itself to be on Britain's side. In a TV interview at the time, he said: "My resolution calls for the US to state whose side we are on - the British side."
