He was talking about Trump’s affection for the UK (not the present incumbent, excuse me !! )

He said he will end Ukraine war and bring peace.

That’s’ about it ... Most of it was on the Muslim gangs which i missed

I’m sure the news will cover that intently

There is precious little left of England and almost nothing of Britain worthy of an emotional attachment today.

For those of my generation who grew up, educated and exposed to the greatness of Britain from Chaucer and Shakespeare and the King James Bible, from Magna Carta to their finest hour and, yes, Robin Hood and his band of merry men, the fall of Britain has been sad and as depressing as the loss of a near relative and as grievous as a loss of heritage.

United Kingdom today consists of a prosperous but decadent city state and provinces that are practically speaking competing for ranking among struggling nations of the Third World. Beyond London, Britain is in fact failing nation. Within a London, it is competing with San Francisco.

Like virtually every other Western nation Britain has inflicted its problems on itself through a masochistic admixture of leftist economics and grotesquely misplaced immigration policy. The reaction to the immigration policies and economic decline that afflicts much of Europe is the spawning of Trump like parties in Germany, Austria, Italy and, of course, Britain as well as many others.

It May well be too late for America, despite the prediction of Nigel Farage of a bright American future, but it is much more likely too late for Britain. It is not easy hyperbole to insist that governments of every one of these nations must put their fiscal houses in order or learn to speak Chinese because financial collapse will bring on the collapse of the West and the inevitable ascendancy of China.

Nigel Farage and his antics will be keeping the Labour party in power for the next decade and beyond... He’s split the Conservative party and that can’t be good. Only one party can benefit from that. The Labour party.

The UK has degenerated into Mediocre Britain.

There is a movement to rejoin the EU.

The UK is not really doing very well. Will it join Trump’s America or failing leaderless Germany
