    We've got our country back ...

    ...NOT!

    Nigel Farage attacks response to Trump ambassador tweet - BBC News

    "By any measure this is an extraordinary intervention.
    The future head of state of one nation telling another country who they should appoint as their ambassador is unusual enough; when it is two nations that are meant to share a special relationship it is a breach of nearly every rule of diplomatic protocol.
    At a stroke it puts tension into the Trump/ May relationship before they have even met.
    It also leaves the current holder of the post, Sir Kim Darroch (pictured above), in an awkward position as he seeks to forge closer contacts with the new administration.
    In Downing Street and diplomatic circles there is consternation. "

    Yeah, let's bend over and get shafted so hard by the US that the helmet appears in our mouth
    Hard Brexit now!

        The special relationship is a fanciful British myth. When Obama became president he first visited Germany. On his goodbye tour of Europe, he gave the UK a miss; May had fly to Europe to go running after him.

        special relationship = unwanted pet poodle

          We're wanted for cannon fodder when there's a war on, though
          That's about the only time.

            I remember being in a bar in Atlanta before iraq2, some random bloke bought me a beer because I was a Brit. There is a special relationship, but this view skipped over Obama.

                    It was a bit awkward at the time, but it was a free beer!
