UK reportedly tells Trump he cannot meet with Brexit architect Nigel Farage

The U.K. government has reportedly told President Trump he must not meet Brexit architect and former U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage when Trump visits the U.K. later this month.

The U.K. Daily Telegraph, citing a source within the British government, reports that 10 Downing Street made it clear that Trump “must not meet Farage” during his working visit to the U.K. on July 13. Trump has embraced Farage, who is also a Fox News contributor, and called him “the man behind Brexit” during the 2016 campaign.

Farage told Fox News he would not comment on any conversations he had with the White House but said the Telegraph report was “utterly consistent” with past behavior from the U.K. government.

“But Trump is supposed to meet the queen and probably won’t cancel out of respect for her.”

What’s to respect about her? She hasn’t said a word about the moslem hordes taking over her nation, about the Brit intel agencies interfering in our election, about the death of free speech, about the homosexual perversion taking over the island, or a thousand other topics. I always hear about her “influence”, so where exactly is it?

Silence = consent.

The U.K. Is supposed to be by far our strongest ally. We are supposed to have a special relationship, but I am not seeing that.

It has been a one-sided relationship. We have always protected them, but all we get from them is interference in our politics.

They have been unbelievably rude to President Trump.

That should be unacceptable.

I have had just about enough of those jerks across the pond.

The UK went on to say: “All discussions President Donald Trump has with anyone at all, must be approved by the House of Commons.”

Precisely, my good FRiend.

There is no need to give the whacko press (in either country) some breathless headlines.

Just invite Farage to the WH at some later time.

Easy, breezy.

“Cannot meet” and “must not meet” are two different things.

There are unwritten rules about state visits, which are usually precisely choreographed events.

To depart from the agenda... Well, it just isn't done.


I'll bet a million quatloos that—after all the official "state visit" bullcrap is done—President Trump will break these "unwritten rules" and meet with Nigel Farage (and perhaps others).

Nigel Farage has been a unabashed and fearless supporter of Donald J. Trump ever since his Presidential candidacy was announced. It would be tantamount to a show of disrespect for President Trump not to meet with Mr. Farage—especially since the British Government "told" President Trump that he cannot do so.

After all, the free citizens subjects of the UK democratically expressed their will and approved Brexit in order to leave the EU, so it strikes me as quite odd that the leader of that movement would somehow be considered persona non grata to the British government. Furthermore, President Trump referenced the remarkable Brexit movement repeatedly throughout his Presidential campaign, so basically the British government should be "told" to pound sand...

He is the President of the United States and not a British subject and Nigel is not a serf and if they want to meet, they should damn well meet.

Unfortunately the United Kingdom does not have a Constitution, thus whom the present government determines is a serf of the government damn well is a serf!

This is what the far left want to do to our constitution as make it null and void and thus insure the supremacy of the state.

If one looks at The Constitution it very narrowly defines the right of the Federal Government and makes it quite clear that right not defined to the federal government are to be defined by the individual states as they see fit. In fact the constitution as written is actually a document limiting severely federal law over the states. Today we are far from the original document.

“He should meet with Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, and Julian Assange”

And the parents of the little boy the National Health Services let die.

Isn’t this why we instituted the first #walkaway movement; the Declaration of Independence?

The UK is getting more like Russia everyday. The EU is almost to the level of Nazi Germany...
