Theresa May fails to condemn Donald Trump on refugees

So this is what we've come to.

Whatever it takes to screw the EU over, tear down families and relationships no matter the cost.

Prime Minister Theresa May has been criticised for refusing to condemn President Donald Trump's ban on refugees entering the US.
Asked repeatedly about the issue during a news conference in Turkey, Mrs May said only that it was up to the US to decide its own policy.
Mr Trump has banned Syrian refugees indefinitely and suspended visas for people from six other countries.
Labour's Jeremy Corbyn said she should have stood up for British values.
Mrs May told reporters: "The United States is responsible for the United States' policy on refugees.
"The United Kingdom is responsible for the United Kingdom's policy on refugees and our policy on refugees is to have a number of voluntary schemes to bring Syrian refugees into the country, particularly those who are most vulnerable, but also to provide significant financial contributions to support refugees in countries surrounding Syria."

What the fook are you on about? Just what does Trump's internal domestic immigration policy have to do with the EU?

You really need to get a life, you have moved way beyond parody.

Read the story.

You can surmise PM Mayhem is not going to jeopardise a relationship with a future trading partner by criticising the president's actions. Be assured, were our trading relations with Europe not in jeopardy she'd have said something, as have many other political leaders.

Special relationship has well and truly past its sell by date. Time to throw it out.

Of course she isn't. And by not doing so, she is acting firmly in the best interests of the country that she is leading.

That is fundamentally what her job entails, and it is a very pragmatic approach.

She ought to be getting lauded for it.

Those refugees will have to go somewhere, including green card holders who can't get into USA anymore. Where would they go other than EU?

And by what bizarre rationale does that somehow become Theresa May's fault?

May's fault is that she is trying to break up EU for the sake of her (very similar to Trumps) right wing ideologies that will end up in a big disaster.

Back to Russia with you old boy. I know I helped you off the boat all those years ago, Abraham and I will be up next week to help you pack.

Heard it here first. Our PM is acting in the best interests for the people of Britain by showing support to a sexist misogynistic racist.

She is probably a secret member of this forum, so she must be used to those types....

Could it be SueEllen?
