Theresa May BEGS Donald Trump for a meeting after Nigel Farage humiliation
The Daily Mirror ^ | November 14, 2016 | Jack Blanchard

Humilated Theresa May is now begging for a meeting with Donald Trump before Christmas after being shown up by Nigel Farage.

The UKIP leader was the first foreign politician to meet the President-elect after his shock victory at the polls.

But Mrs May insisted relations with the Trump camp were “working well” and said they would meet “at the earliest opportunity”.

Mr Farage is furious after his bid to become a special envoy to liaise with Mr Trump was rejected.

The PM’s spokeswoman said: “The President-elect has talked about enjoying the same relationship that Reagan and Thatcher did.

"I don’t remember there being any third person in that relationship.”

Mr Farage said: “It shows they don’t care about the country.”

Mrs May’s spokeswoman claimed No10 had “an established route” to Mr Trump’s team...

To some degree. And Lech Walesa.

But I would argue against all comers that the person who did the most to bring down communism was Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

I hated Anonymous and Assange like a year ago.

I can;t say I hated him, but I certainly didn't trust/believe him. He was just too shifty for my comfort. But, he's redeemed himself as a purveyor of truth.

I retrospect the rape charges against him may have been manufactured, and the girl sent to him as a bargaining chip.

We'll see for how long he keeps it going.

From what I’ve read, the evidence is very weak and it has the markings of a set up.

Which as we know, isn’t far fetched at all.

Does this mean Scalia did die of natural causes.

Many of my conspiracy theories have not come to fruition :)

I would tell Mrs May, if she wants to see Trump, go thru Farage.

Sad to dissappoint you.

They were all mere mortals.

I honestly think a “nobody” like our custodian Jim Robinson is more imortant.

“Theresa May plans Trump charm offensive after snub to Farage”

uh, yeah, thereas. Right. Snub the one U.K. guy who helped President Trump win election and is now flying over the pond this very moment to meet with President Trump. Smart move!

Something tells me her charm offensive will be filtered through Nigel Farage, whether she likes it or not. Get used to a President who will NOT be pushed around by anyone, or “charmed” by charlatans.

President Trump will be both Head of State and Head of Government. In Britain (and other Commonwealth Realm countries, such as Canada), the Queen is Head of State, and the PM is just another grubby politician (Head of Government).

If President Trump wants to demonstrate the "special relationship" between the USA and Great Britain; he could travel to London as Head of State, for a meeting with the Queen. Buckingham Palace is almost as luxurious as Trump Tower, so he wouldn't be uncomfortable.

This would cement the relationship between the two nations, while simultaneously snubbing the politicians, who made the mistake of dissing him. PMs come and go; but, there will always be a Britain.

Most of us in the Commonwealth would get it.

Once the point has been made, Trump could schedule another meeting the PM to discuss substantive policy issues (not that he Queen can't hold her own on that front -- but she's too aware of her constitutional boundaries to do so).

Farage also campaigned for Trump.
