Khan and Corbyn, contrary to what Boris Johnson
thinks, must do everything in their power to put the so-called "special
relationship" with America, "at risk" (Johnson rages at Corbyn and Khan for
"endangering US investment in Britain", 12/01/18). In fact, every leader in the
world should be putting whatever relationship their countries have with Trump`s
government "at risk".
It is obscene for our government to be so much
in thrall to the American dollar that it insists the "strong and deep
relationship will endure". Things have changed; the president is a racist, and
no country which claims to have democracy, freedom and equality as core
principles, should be doing business with him. Cut off relations, cancel state
visits, and insist things will only get better when the president improves his
manners, or when there is a new one.
There are Americans working to oust him, through
impeachment, treason or whatever, and our government should be helping them
rather than hindering, which is clearly what Johnson and May do, every time they
defend him. We should not have to listen to Farage`s opinions ever, but the fact
that they are close to those held by the government is alarming.
Doesn`t anyone in government have any sympathy
with the people of the insulted nations? The answer is obvious, and it`s the
same as the answer to this question: is there no-one in this Tory government
with the courage to criticise Trump?
A general election cannot come soon
enough.
