| Baroness Warsi, Minister for Faith |
America is not as “sophisticated” as Britain in understanding international relations, Baroness Warsi said today.
The minister for faith, on a visit to America, also said the conservative Fox News channel needed training on “religious literacy”.
The blunt remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington DC caused a flutter on social media networks after being picked up by the liberal Huffington Post website.
“I think Britain is quite uniquely sophisticated in its understanding of the world in a way the US is not,” she said.
“That comes from much of our own history and much of our connection.” » | Peter Foster, in Washington | Friday, November 15, 2013
