So the Eton Buffon promising sovereignty throws his own Ambassador under the buss because he is a puppet of the Orange Buffon. Getting our country back or what!

 

BJ can hardly be blamed for keeping his powder dry at this late stage of a 2 horse race.

    The Ambassadors position was probably made impossible after the Orange one threw his toys out of the pram over the emails .. It wasnt helped by Johnson refusing to say if he would keep Darroch in Wash

  • And the new guy that takes over his job, can only say nice and agreeable things about Trump , in both public and private and he will have to give false info to the UK Government and not to do his job

    No, it has to be business as usual.   The diplomatic bag is inviolable, they at least can all agree on that.   It's just the usual political fellatio after the fact, to soothe ruff

I was watching Russian TV today and they wondered out loud who could have leaked those e-mails 

 

Could've have been a Russian mole/sympathizer; or a EU sympathizer trying to spoil the British / US relationship and potential good trade deal; or someone who wanted Darroch out to create a space for someone they want in that position; Or someone trying to discredit Trump, etc etc etc.

 

The speculations, and that's what they are, can be endless.

 

But British security has to establish who and why as our entire diplomatic bag correspondence integrity is now under question as is the integrity of the civil service thanks to one (or more) distrustful morons.

Is the British government that ill informed that they need an ambassador to tell them Trump is wacky?  Aw come on.  I live in Thailand and I know it and I know his government is a house full of fruitcakes.  

 

That's true! Just like we British living here no our current government, MP's, including the Opposition and minor parties are all a bunch of self serving dishonest parasites.

are we talking about the same Trump that visited the UK last month and didn't stop praising TM and the good job she has been doing

See, that's how it is done.

I sure hope Trump's negotiators of the after Brexit Trade Deal understands how the UK views them, their boss, their country, and anything to do with America. There isn't any 'special relationship' anymore, that is all BS from a time gone by.

If I fault Darroch on this issue, it is that his comments were too restrained. He undoubtedly underestimated the unbridled madness within the Trump White House. That said, Darroch himself appears to be a particularly unpleasant sort of fellow. At least according to this guy who is also a former British diplomat. Might be that Darroch and Trump have a lot in common???  

 

 

Yes well that's Craig Murray, a man with a terminal case of conspiracy theory disease. I man who strangely, is so well informed that he has a view on everything (It's all down to the Deep state etc).

I didnt state whom they suggested could have leaked the leaks .

Although they did state that some have accused Russia

a very stupid guy,” he tweeted, describing Darroch as a “pompous fool”.

I don't know, those same words have been used to describe Donald Trump.  Seems like a case of the kettle calling the pot black or something like that

Dish it out, but can’t take it-what weak person.  Amazing how insecure he is-making a mockery of the presidency 

If BoJo had expressed his clear support for him, would he have quit ?! Probably not.

The word going around is that May can't find anyone to do the Job who thinks that Trump is anything but a complete nutter.

A more likely scenario is Trump wants to use the fallout from the  Trump imagined "scandal" by “pressing down” on London ahead of trade talks in the future

Diplomacy Under Trump Era …. walk this way…. " Brazil's Bolsonaro offers his son the post of ambassador in Washington"

The far-right Brazilian president, who said his campaign last year was inspired by U.S. President Donald Trump, has made friendly overtures to the American leader and made similar use of family members as official advisers.

Ain't that funny ?
