The UK Conservatives blame the Labour Party for Trump cancelling his trip.
Well, tbf Trump blamed Obama and this makes about as much sense. Apparantly Corbyn saying that to grant a state visit to a guy who re tweets posts by far right groups and makes up lies about UK Muslims should not happen, is wrong for some reason....
Boris Johnson sees this as damaging Britain's 'special relationship' with America. US people can correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that America has never seen Britain as more than an underlying ally and that the 'special relationship', as such, is purely a delusion of the British ruling class.
Our ruling Conservative Government think sucking up to Trump will earn them Brownie points from a man who considers loyalty a one way street. They are however well aware that the UK left activist base (with encouragement from Corbyn), would stage a mass demonstration to embarrass them, hence why the trip was cancelled.
The Tories should be ashamed of themselves for their complicity with Trump.
