Thousands of Britons, including dozens of members of Parliament, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, have signed a letter in support of four liberal Democratic congresswomen after President Donald Trump wrote in a series of tweets that they should "go back" to the countries they came from.

The letter, from British the anti-racism and anti-fascism group Hope not Hate, was addressed to Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Signatories said they were "disgusted" by Trump's attacks on the congresswomen and that they stood in solidarity with them.

"His blatant, unashamed racism has appalled people around the world," the letter said. "You embody the best of America. Its diversity is its strength. Thank you for showing the world that America can still provide leadership to be proud of, even when the White House has abdicated that role."

British politics has a tradition of having idiots who have to have their a**es saved by true leaders and patriots, like Churchill and Thatcher. The rest of the pansy waist intellectually challenged idiots are a danger to their nation.

It’s worthless support for a third party when the only reason is hatred of Trump. That is a malignant motive if I ever saw one.

Well that should kill their chances of re-election. Nothing like being supported by open communists like Corbin and Kahn

When the UK stops locking people up for opinions they don’t like maybe we can treat them like a civilized nation. Until then, their moral authority is no better than Pakistan.

The sun never sets on the British Empire! Oops. They were one of the world’s greatest superpowers until they gave up individual liberty and succumbed to socialism. And now they want us to go down the tubes with them? No thanks. The commie squad should move to a socialist state if they want to live under socialism. Real Americans will always fight to defend our constitution and our freedom!

Agreed, and also remember that this is the country that is teaching the civilized world about the wisdom of knife controls.

Said with the best British accent I can muster:

Eff off c*nts.

It’s none of your business and we don’t care what you think.
