So let me get this straight, they regret it so much that they’re going to leave the ambassador in place? How effective do they think he can be?
Maybe the world should leak out what we really think of you limey, queens butt kissing, girly men.
Horseshit! The British government hates Trump every bit as much as the Deep State. Doesn’t anyone wonder why Steele, an MI6 officer (who isn’t “retired” by the way) hated a US presidential candidate to the extent he supposedly did? Does anyone believe he was cooperating with the FBI, CIA, State, etc. without the full knowledge of the British government? Communiques and cables from ambassadors are highly classified and considered extremely politically sensitive. The Deep State didn’t throw Darroch under the bus; Darroch released his cables intentionally - again, with the full knowledge of the British government - to make Trump look bad.
I’m just wondering when the Trump administration is going to kick Darroch’s ass out of the country, which is what most countries would do in this situation.
Attacking Trump and jailing Tommy Robinson will not set well with the "Normies".
...the timing is the tell...
...Brits been acting all butt hurt this time of year for over two centuries...
...i can only imagine what they said about G. Washington...
... 8^P ...
Since she has resigned and the process to replace her is well underway that support has a finite end date.
Ding! Their global socialist Yurp establishment in the Foreign Office is just like our Ivy League global socialist establishment at Foggy Bottom. Driving a wedge between the US and UK has always been foremost in their minds since the end of WWII.
Don’t fall for it and give them what they want. Don’t interpret this as the view of the whole UK. It’s not.
“Teresa May has been making some terrible decisions lately.”
She’s going to get better paid employment soon, probably.
Blair has raked in the pounds.
The Ambassador is correct and it is his duty to inform Whitehall of the situation in the United states.
“Darroch was appointed...as British Permanent Representative to the European Union in 2007 for a four-year term.”

Teresa May has been making some terrible decisions lately.

Her job is to eviscerate the Brexit.
She was a remainer.
Let a remainer lead the Brexit process! What a joke.
Just like...let an atheist be the Pope.
Yeah, they regret the leak. Not the memos themselves, but the leak. The leaker will be dealt with.
Really it was a rhetorical question :)
“we believe the leak is unacceptable”
What is unacceptable is that you employ a diplomat who doesn’t know the meaning of the word “diplomacy”, and then assign that diplomat to your closest ally.
“Britain said on Monday it had contacted Washington to express regret for the leak of confidential memos in which its ambassador described U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration as “dysfunctional” and “inept”.
“...express regret for the leak...”
Oh, so they are sorry about “the leak”, not about what was said about Trump.
That’s like the Liberal apology...
“I’m sorry “IF” you were offended”
We’re not “sorry” about what we said, only sorry about “offending” you, “IF”, you were.
In other words...The leak is unacceptable but the ambassador’s sentiments regarding President Trump are in line with UK governments opinion of the President.
You need to be a senator genius level response i wish we had more like you
Nothing is by accident with these people
They perpetrated a complete treasonable hoax for two years
Their gig is up. It’s amazing to watch
They’re out of real ammo now
The LEAK is unacceptable?? Does that imply the sentiment is acceptable? In other words, “Gee. We’re sorry you DISCOVERED our bias -— of course, we don’t apologize FOR it.”
It certainly isn’t. Unfortunately there is a disconnect between what the people of Britian want and what the governing establishment wants. Its been the same since 1066 with the Norman Lords ruling over Saxon peasants with whom they feel little affinity with and feel more of a sense of compatriotism with their fellow continental elites than with ordinary Englishmen/Britons whom they disdain as vulgar and inferior.
