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.

Trump cancelled his trip because he refuses to cut the ribbon on a billion dollar waste of money spent on a new embassy when obama gave away our prime embassy with its great location to build another one ....

@TexChik None of that is true.

- Bush started the move to another embassy for security reasons, the new embassy is easier to defend.

- The sale of the first embassy location more than paid for the new embassy.

Anything else you want to get wrong?

@Pherick sorry tard ... but CNN isn’t going to tell you the truth ...

Pherick · 41-45, M

@TexChik You are such a moron. This isn't "fake" news, its easily researchable fact.

@TexChik Do you have any idea how unpopular Trump is in Britain?

Ffs you are really gullible to believe that stuff.

I am going to guess her reply will pretty much just consist of her calling you "tards"😂.

Pherick · 41-45, M

@Pherick @thatscottishguy no effort in a reply Is really necessary , they are Libtards after all. They know so much ...that isn’t actually true ... but they don’t seem to care .

It's pointless. Her only truth is Trump's tweets. She is not capable of independent thought. Never mind that the decision to move the Embassy was made when Bush was President.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@Northwest Yeah I know. It's ridiculous but what can you do?

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@Pherick She won't read it. Anything which challenges her world view is fake news.

Northwest · M

@Burnley123 I think people like her are very comfortable, not having a brain of their own. It gives them a certain level of comfort, because they can fit well within their hateful, ignorant communities (online or IRL).

I just wonder where she gets the time though. She's omnipresent. You're guaranteed an appearance, or a libtard mention, the second you say Trump.

Pherick · 41-45, M

@Northwest What I never quite get, is the MANY times I have asked her to provide some proof of her statements. Of course, never anything.

It must be amazing to be that comfortable in your lack of knowledge.

Northwest · M

@Pherick Not once did she provide proof. I went through the exercise a few times, and every time, I showed her that every single claim and rebuttal on her part, was made up.

The likes of her are very comfortable in their ignorance. Not only do they not have to think, but their world will be shattered if they accept that their world of hate is a house of card. They would have to admit that they're wrong.
