I don't think the Brits spy. That's to crude and not British as they say.

The British ambassador in Berlin has been called in to Germany's foreign ministry to respond to spying allegations.
The UK's Independent newspaper says the British embassy in Berlin may house a "top-secret listening post".
It cites leaked US National Security Agency (NSA) documents suggesting the UK could be using hi-tech equipment housed on the embassy roof.

Keep your eye on the Chinese. They'll steal whatever they can in order to undercut you in the world marketplace.

No no my dear sir. One does not speak of such things under any circumstances.

Spying on allies makes sense. You know your enemies are up to no good - with your friends you need to check...

Ah yes. I stand corrected.
