UK reportedly tells Trump he cannot meet with Brexit architect Nigel Farage
FOX NEWS ^ | July 4, 2018 | Adam Shaw

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.

Britain’s involvement in Spygate accounts for such nonsense. the President should see who he wants to see while over there.

Craig Murray has a new thread on the absurd new novichok story. the heroin reference comes as no surprise.
cute mention of Pablo Miller.

5 Jul: Craig Murray: The Amesbury Mystery
We are continually presented with experts by the mainstream media who will validate whatever miraculous property of “novichok” is needed to fit in with the government’s latest wild anti-Russian story. Tonight Newsnight wheeled out a chemical weapons expert to tell us that “novichok” is “extremely persistent” and therefore that used to attack the Skripals could still be lurking potent on a bush in a park.

Yet only three months ago we had this example of scores from the MSM giving the same message which was the government line at that time:

“Professor Robert Stockman, of the University of Nottingham, said traces of nerve agents did not linger. He added: ‘These agents react with water to degrade, including moisture in the air, and so in the UK they would have a very limited lifetime...

According to the Daily Telegraph today, the unfortunate Charlie Rowley is a registered heroin addict, and if true Occam’s Razor would indicate that is a rather more likely reason for his present state than an inexplicably persistent weaponised nerve agent...

***Naturally, there is no mention in all the reports today of MI6’s Pablo Miller, who remains the subject of a D notice...

That is a lovely crypto-liberal sentiment but
state sanctioned violations of Federal law must
be put down hard, as in the case of sanctuary cities

Obama did it, so why not Trump?

Maybe they should meet at the US Embassy. Isn’t that considered US territory? I wonder if that would torque their jaws?

I suspect PDJT doesn't give a damn' and will meet with who he wants, when he wants in the UK. That's what'll really torque their jaw.

Maybe we should pull our troops out of the Middle East and liberate England.

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


It’s not a state visit. It’s a “working” visit. A clear snub by the Brits to POTUS.

If the Brits are trying to tell Trump who he shouldn’t see then maybe the President just shouldn’t go at all?

Trump can pick up Nigel in New York and let him fly as a passenger on Air Force 1 to London.

Nigel is in New York a lot.

Cancel that trip or, at best, ignore May. She’s a moron.

No, it is not a state dinner because of all the hulabaloo over Trump’s election expressed by Parliament (the Speaker, for instance), May & Johnson plus the outrage of libs in the country, especially in London. He will be meeting with the Queen but no state dinner.

Every day I tweet him to cancel the visit. But does he listen to me? I ask you!

Yeahs ago, on WTIC-AM in Hartford, Connecticut, the CT head of Planned Parenthood (Laura Tisenga?) agreed to be on the Tom Scott show provided that he didn’t bring Freeper BlackElk (R.I.P.) into the studio as well. Tom Reluctantly agreed.

Then the show began, and after he introduced his guest and let her make an opening statement, he opened the phone lines ... “First caller ... BlackElk from Hamden, Connecticut, you are on the air”. She was MAD.

President Trump may just decide to stop at a Wimpy’s hamburger joint. Who knows whom he might run into there? Maybe Nigel would have a hankering for a burger at the same time!

UK is getting pretty open about its fascist tendencies. Since when do you tell someone who they can speak to? When no criminality is involved?

Brexit is becoming a sham. The EU is trying to pull the same stunt they’ve previously pulled in other countries. They’re trying to help Brexit opposition in the UK find some loophole to make the Brexit vote illegitimate, some technicality, to have another vote. If they manage to do so, they will likely do what they did in the Netherlands and Ireland-have another vote to get their desired result, then declare that “the issue is settled” and outaw referendums.
