Fucking Moron (tm), the British edition

Even British Tories don't want to be publicly associated with this self-serving piece of lying shit:

The president will meet Jeremy Hunt -- the Tory leadership candidate and Foreign Secretary -- for private talks. Earlier, Boris Johnson, one of Hunt’s rivals, said he couldn’t meet the president because he had to prepare for a campaign event.

The decision over whether or not to meet Trump is an awkward one for Tories who are hoping to become prime minister. On the one hand, if they win, they will need a good relationship with the U.S. On the other, being seen to get too close to such a divisive figure could hurt the next Tory leader’s chances in a general election.

A gift to labourists.

The shadow foreign secretary, Emily Thornberry, has said a Labour government would engage in a businesslike way with Donald Trump but would not afford special honours to the US president.
Speaking before a mass demonstration in London on Tuesday, which will be addressed by the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, Thornberry said: “A state visit is an honour and we don’t think this president deserves an honour.
“The truth is he has tried to close borders with Muslim-majority countries, he is caging small Mexican children, he has grabbed women and boasted about it. He is a sexual predator, he is a racist and it’s right to say that – we need to think about when is it our country got so scared?” she told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

He's a gift to everybody who thinks that America and Americans are out to screw the world.

If we don't take out the trash ourselves, there will be a long-lasting damage.
