Ambassador: Trump is an unstable snowflake.
Trump: Wah, wah! That ambassador is a stupid metropolitan elitist and I hate him!

The whinging and wailing is coming from the leak, and by proxy from Farage.

It's called a diplomatic service for a reason.

Ah, of course, as Joe Kennedy did in London in 1940.
And the twat with the Arthur Scargill hairdo doesn't realise that UK ambassadors aren't political appointees unlike the afore mentioned.
Never mind, only another 5 years before the twat leaves office assuming he hasn't nuked us all by mistake.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 7 July 2019, 21:44.

No surprise that Farage (and behind him, Oakeshott and Wigmore) are involved. They seem to hate the U.K. and everything it stand for.

A case of sour grapes
Nigel Farage has called for Britain's ambassador to the US to be sacked after it was claimed he had described Donald Trump's White House as 'uniquely dysfunctional' and 'inept'.
Sir Kim was appointed to his role in Washington several months before Mr Trump's shock ascendancy to the White House.
The appointment was subject to intense scrutiny after Mr Trump was elected after he swiftly called for Mr Farage to be the UK's man in Washington instead of Sir Kim.
In a highly unusual intervention, the president declared in a late-night tweet that Mr Farage would do a 'great job' and that 'many people' wanted to see him as the British ambassador.Tags: None
