Love of the UK, actually: Cameron's stirring tribute after 'Russia snub'

The Prime Minister issued a lavishly patriotic tribute after a Russian official reportedly dismissed Britain as "just a small island; no one pays any attention to".

David Cameron posted his impassioned riposte on Google+ at the end of the G20 summit in St Petersburg and signed off by saying he was "thinking of setting this to music".

Mr Cameron wrote:

The comments were initially delivered off-camera to the British press and then expanded upon at a media conference.

His remarks were immediately compared to a scene from hit film Love Actually, in which Hugh Grant's prime minister interrupts the US president to say: "We may be a small country but we're a great one, too."

Downing Street demanded "clarification" from the Kremlin yesterday after a spokesman was reported to have made the comments.

Mr Cameron noted that Mr Putin's chief spokesman Dmitry Peskov had denied making the remark.
