The reason is a thing called "Metonymy", where something is said in place of something else. In this case one thing - England, stands in place of the whole - Great Britain.

Starting to look like Khadafy is going to get a favorable ruling from the U.N.
That guy is a freakin' magician

It time to put some British, French, Canadian, Italian, and all other special forces on the ground.
No American boots on the ground however!

Now that I've had a chance to deliberate, I don't think there is a chance in hell that a rulling by the UN will save "The Great Dictator" from this unholy quest. Sarkosy will keep fighting that b@stard untill the UN puts a contract out for anyone to shove a cap up his @$$

This binds us to any UN rules why?
Show me the part that says UN laws legally are worth more than the ink it took to print them.
