This article basically comes down to this: In modern Britain, criticizing Trump will get you effusive praise. Criticizing convicted child rapsist who are Islamic will get you jail. And this is perceived as sound and reasonable.

"Both of which are London"

But is London representative of all of the UK anymore than The Swamp is representative of the US?

I seriously doubt it, but of course that doesn't change the fact that London is still in charge.

One wonders: why keep some jerk on the payroll for this kind of stuff when you can get the same thing twenty-four hours a day on CNN or MSNBC?

Point taken. Sadly, the truth may be that Kimmie - sorry, Sir Kimmie, KCMG - that it may be the best that Kimmie has to offer. A diplomat is, after all, paid for part schmooze toward his host and part penetrating analysis toward the home office, and zero out of two isn't going to cut it even in the stratospheric world populated by State Department drones and former Communist apparatchiks, if in fact I'm not repeating myself.

That is, however, very much the face of the Establishment, and Tommy Robinson is the face of what happens when you cross them; that very same Establishment who has just taken the reins of the UK public and carefully guided it around the Brexit for which it had voted, all for its own good, naturally. It may even have managed to delay a reckoning until the UK's next parliamentary election in 2022, at which time things may start looking as tight as a hangman's noose. It's the same Establishment whose American counterpart is now staring at the prospect of waiting out a second Trump administration. That's a lot of waiting, but they have the time, and the money won't stop rolling in.

What is really annoying is they look down their noses at Trump but think Obama walked on water. Obama who had a tepid economy, shipped arms to ISIS, paid Iran $1.5Billion in untraceable walking around money and used the DOJ/FBI to spy on a political campaign ( Not even a smidgen of corruption). The ambassador obviously went to too many Georgetown cocktail parties.
