The funniest thing is that the brits haven't criticised or denied the ambassador's opinion. They've said that the ambassador was just doing his job and "speaking plainly".
I bet every European country's ambassadors are saying the same.
They probably say the same about our own "foolish and disfunctional" government. Could we possibly disagree with that analysis?
I wonder what Trump would say if he saw that video. He's notoriously thin skinned.
My personal opinion is that he is much more liberal than he is making out at the moment
.
Intelligence often comes down on the side of leniency and trust and not making a hasty decision and trying to read between the lines. So, fair play.
The one stumbling block I have tho is that he's a Tory. In fact irrespective of all the brexit stuff, those that voted Tory in the first place make my skin crawl At least with Brexiters, no matter how poilitically incorrect they say we are, we really do know that its an intelligence divide. So it isnt really their fault in a way. In fact its a result of a broken Britain dominated by Tory mantra
Yes LK, he is a vile bloke and he's wrong about both China and Iran. In the case of Iran that country was complying with the conditions laid down to it regarding nuclear use and Trump disagreeing with them when his term as President started resulting in him throwing a hissy fit and pulling the USA out of the agreement. The rest of the countries involved are still there. And that includes the UK.
The West has been buying Chinese goods because they're cheaper and sometimes better value, and that includes me. If you happen to be the average family man cost comes first and democracy a long way second, at least that's the way it always was with me.
I've been to Hong Kong and China a few times now and it's nothing like living in Nottingham, in my opinion the average Chinese works hard to get not much but progress is being made. We have a large Chinese population here and mostly they're good hard working people.
Your view about the West buying Chinese goods in the hope that this would encourage more Chinese democracy makes me laugh, that's certainly not the view held here. I've never heard that mentioned with regard to China.
I still blame Trump for a large proportion of the worlds ills. And he's still in power!
I reckon the Americans will rid themselves of Trump in next year's election. With Boris also gone & Brexit consigned to the dustbin along with Bolsanaro it could be a good for us & the rest of the planet when we can start to tackle the most important issue facing us which is climate change. In the meantime those who have given up their gardens to providing parking spaces for their cars could reintroduce them to provide once again natural ways of preventing flash flooding.
Where is Boris going ? Recent polls have shown that British citizens would rather have a no deal Brexit than a Corbyn government. I've always been a Labour supporter, but I won't vote for a Marxist government.
In the vote of confidence in 2016 172 of 212 Labour MPs couldn't support Corbyn, so why should the electorate. We also voted to Leave and 80% of the MPs voted into Parliament were voted in on a mandate to honour this.
The problem is the working classes see house prices rocketing and wages not keeping up with inflation. 498 MPs voted to implement article 50. Even Corbyn is saying he would leave, but of course he wants a Labour leave. Not that anyone knows what Labour wants either !
