Dispatchers in the USA are much more knowledgeable than the UK dispatchers or controllers as they are known. More importance is given to the USA dispatchers as they are the final authority ref in dispatching a flight. In the UK the Captains/F.O's don't give a T_ss what the controller says, they will do it anyway.
Basically UK Dispatchers are a bunch of Losers,

who don't have a clue whether they are coming or going, much of the duties they perform are on trial and error basis anyway.
