Britain furious, Trump unapologetic as fallout swells from anti-Muslim videos
The Washington Post ^ | December 1st, 2017 | By Karla Adam and William Booth

LONDON — The British revolt against President Trump swelled Thursday with Parliament members openly deriding him and Britain’s prime minister standing by her denunciations of Trump’s retweets of a fringe group’s anti-Muslim videos.

Prime Minister Theresa May blasted Trump for crossing a line by posting the inflammatory videos on his Twitter page Wednesday — and then warning May to essentially mind her own business and focus on Islamist terrorism instead of him.

But officials were careful to note that ties with the United States are stronger than the current flare-up with the White House.

“It’s increasingly clear that any official visit from President Trump to Britain would not be welcomed,” tweeted London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim to hold the office. Khan has repeatedly called for Britain to withdraw an invitation for Trump to visit — and his stance appeared to gain backing amid the outrage against the president.

In a sign of the disruptive wake unleashed by Trump, British Home Secretary Amber Rudd had to remind Parliament and the public that Britain’s relationship with the United States was bigger than one president — and that important trade, security and intelligence sharing are ongoing.

Trump knows May and her so-called PC "Conservatives" are out of touch with their electorate.

He's just giving her an opportunity to accelerate the process. Because the US needs a real partner.

I would imagine “the British” are not furious; its the idiots in the media and the politicians. As usual, another lie by the Washington Post.

It's funny to watch them kiss our ass and throw a fit at the same time.

Moslems are dumb but hilarious.

Trump needs to take a pause, and verify those anti-Muslim videos. If they are legitimate, present the evidence at the next White House press conference. Oh, and play the videos as well.

But if it turns out that at least some of them are fakes...well, just take a page from the Democrat play book. Say nothing, and move on.

Ironic - tells the Brit on the street that Trump cares more for their safety than their feckless “leaders” do....

Britain used to be one of the strongest societies on Earth.

Now, after being bled white through two world wars and flooded with non-Brits, the result is Theresa May and her ilk.

Let's hope that a Churchill's spiritual successor will shop up and guide them back from the abyss. It's either that or just stay with the Islamic State of Europe.

Yeah MSM don’t lose any opportunity to ratchet up the rhetoric. It serves their purpose to isolate President Trump. They speak for foreign interests and have zero loyalties to the US.

Says the Muzzie mayor of London. Trump isn’t taking his crap or anyone elses. Trump sees the bigger picture and will pick these EU A$$HATS to pieces.
