The criticisms of the Prime Minister, Mr Starmer, over his current dealings with the United States are wholly unwarranted. It is all very well to go on about the ‘special relationship’ with the United States being put in jeopardy, but we are not dealing with the United States that we had a relationship with. To claim that we have to deal with the United States, no matter who is President is complete nonsense. The current President is extremely unpopular in his own country. He is surrounded by sycophants. The United States Congress is virtually powerless, the judiciary has ceased to be independent and the constitution is being flouted at every turn. Because of this President, the United States is no longer the country that we think it is. There is no relationship with a psychotic narcissist such as Trump and his entourage. There is a saying in the United States “Wake up and smell the coffee” or as Ms. Joan Rivers might advise “Grow Up!”. We are no longer dealing with the United States. The nation that was once an ally is no more. It has ceased to be.
The Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Mr Warren Stephens is a very wealthy billionaire and contributor to MAGA and made a contribution to Trump of $6 million just prior to his nomination as Ambassador. This is a paid for posting, by an Arkansas, right wing, merchant banker. It is a show of prestige for the holder of the office to spend a couple of years in a lovely house in Regents Park in London. What actual relationship this Ambassador may have with the current British Prime Minster is open to question. In any event, this is not someone who is a true representative of the United States either. He is part of the Trump Show.
Why is it Mr Trump can go about spreading insults and injury all over the place and no one is meant to answer back? Is no one to take him to task? How is it he is allowed to exhibit no manners, or decorum, or simple political integrity? This is not an ally. He cannot possibly represent the United States of America that went out of its way to nurture a relationship with the country that, despite everything, gave it birth and the rule of law. It is now trampling on that heritage, So do not say that we must be careful not to destroy the special relationship. Mr Trump has already done that in spades by destroying the very nature of the United States itself. They no longer have a president. He is a fraud and clown from a reality TV show, and seems to have taken over the country as his personal studio to hurl insults at the free press and stifle the freedoms we all believed to be guaranteed by the constitution of that great nation. When that Nation returns to normality so will the special relaationship.
For the various reform and conservative party opposition shadows to criticise Mr Starmer and support a convicted felon, adjudicated sex offender, bully and liar, brings them nothing but shame. It is to be completely disloyal to the United Kingdom in order to curry favour with Trump. The Americans understand completely why Mr Starmer has taken his initial stand. He is a lawyer and former head of Crown Prosecution Service, hence he adheres to and believes in the rule of law. (Unlike Tony Blair).
Netanyahu had dragged Trump into a wholly illegal enterprise. Not that that would deter Trump from participating. Trump is a gangster and racketeer and has his many henchmen to engage in his fantasy. The fact that he is so callous and careless about the losses of life will soon penetrate, hopefully, into the minds of his MAGA mob. It has into the mind of Marjorie Taylor Green who has come out strongly against this latest farrago of nonsense. So should we all.
Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, has made his case and clearly the rest of Europe should follow suit.
Àabajo el Trumpismo
Abas le Trumpisme
Nieder mit dem Trumpismus!
Dolje s abbasso il trumpismo
Abbasso il Trumpismo
Etc…
First of all the “Special Relationship” was a complete Churchillian fantasy. Poor old Winston was totally played by both FDR and Stalin. In truth, Churchill was more enamored of Stalin. The wily old Russian was the only effective politician and diplomat of the three Stalin was unencumbered by human decency. FDR’s famous “Lend/Lease” scheme was a fraudulent sham. In order to acquire some clapped-out warships Britain was required to give up ports to the US navy from Newfoundland down into the Caribbean. In addition we were forced to sell industrial assets in America. Courtaulds’ Industries were sold off for 50% of their value to private competitors. In fact it was characterized as the biggest fire sale in history. Then let’s not forget the Truman administration’s convenient lack of the knowledge of the joint nuclear research and usage agreement. Even today some Trump person on The World At One said Britain has abandoned “American Values of free speech”. This from a country that shoots its own protesters dead in the streets. In addition to engaging preemptive warn on the say-so of a minor foreign country who regularly breaks International Law. I don’t think the Reform and Conservative Parties are anything other than treasonous. If they aspire to Churchill’s standards and behavior they are going about it perfectly. Unable to govern except in War, lacking all political and diplomatic acumen. And above all rabidly racist.
