The UK and US are now full partners in making the world a more dangerous place.

What buffoons are you referring to in the UK...?

That is surely what a Govt is supposed to do...
I bet Trump was laughing his socks off.
Dec 02nd, 2016 - 02:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I take it from speaking to British colleagues that the UK is stressed out about the incoming administration. But, of course, as a mendicant country the UK needs to constantly obsess about its so called 'special relationship'.

It does not indicate a hopeful future for the UK. As I understand it took the UK premier two days to get in contact with Trump after the election. I think that Europe, and particularly the UK, are going to have a rough time for at least the next four years.
If Teresa May doesn't look a gift horse in the mouth, the UK have every reason to have a good trade deal with the USA. Trump praised Brexit, remember? But as some of the Brit politicians have been asses criticising someone who has good links with Britain, I reckon those politicians must have Argentine DNA meaning that the feet must be shot at all times.

She is a Remoaner, her 'team' are Remoaners, she has not got rid of The Canuck at the BoE and claims to have told the Chancellor to BTFO and 'get with Brexit'. This frightened him so much he went out and repeated the Brexit lies. He had to confess that his stated 'cost' of Brexit had not been calculated and basically was a guess with no supporting data.
Unless May gets a grip on herself she is going to give way to the worst of both worlds: a soft Brexit. I bet that was the plan all along.
