A planned “working visit” to the United Kingdom by U.S. President Donald Trump has been cancelled following Prime Minister Theresa May’s decision to publicly upbraid him over Twitter retweets.
The prime minister said the president was “wrong” to share videos purporting to show Muslims committing acts of violence while on a visit to the Middle East, where she is attempting to curry favour with local dictators.
President Trump did not hesitate to rebuke the British politician, telling her: “Don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!”
News that the president has cancelled a planned “working visit” to open the new U.S. embassy in London came in the early hours of the following morning.
“The idea of a visit has obviously been floated, but not December and not January. I would not expect a Trump visit in January,” a senior U.S. diplomat told The Telegraph.
This unwelcome development comes only a little over two months since Breitbart London Editor in Chief Raheem Kassam speculated that May — who supported Remaining in the European Union in 2016, and leads a Remainer-dominated Cabinet — would attempt to manufacture a row with the Trump administration in order to sabotage Britain’s prospects outside the bloc.
“Look at the way she treated President Trump at the United Nations,” he reminded readers in a September 2017 think piece.
“Instead of using her speech to promote Britain in the world, she used it to attack President Trump on immigration and refugees, as well as harping on about climate change deals and a long-deceased Pakistani prime minister. Not a single mention of the word ‘Brexit’.”

Going to Europe would be a waste of time anyway.
Over the years, I've been fortunate to be able to travel to Europe quite frequently. It really is (was?) quite nice - it's easy to see why so many Euros stayed put & never left.
One thing that never ceases to strike me is to consider just how terrible it must have been to cause someone to uproot everything in their life - most importantly family - and strike off for an unknown, harsh place like N America (or Australia). No safety net, no health care, no welfare, if you dropped or got sick, you simply died there in the mud and no one cared or tried to help.
We Americans are the descendants of these hardy pioneers. Euros may be our cousins, but we really are different. Euros think we are loud & brutish, and I guess we are in the context of the culture they come from. The English really are polite - like a Lab that was bred to be friendly, any rough types were either sent to the gallows or overseas, leaving only the meek and mild behind.
The common people could survive as long as their 'betters' thought it was in their own best interests to protect the country. But, once the elite realized they could make a financial killing (after all, the nobility still owns something like 90% of all the land) from open borders, then the flood gates were let open.
Who speaks for the commoner? No one, that's who. And if you even so much as utter anything remotely controversial (sectarian) in public, you can be arrested and sentenced to jail. It's only now that the English are apparently waking up to realize the trap in which they find themselves.
You are right and I should have been more specific because that is what I had in mind when I posted.
Twin SUs, what a joy.
Am I the only one that dreamed of dual throat Webers to replace the SU pots?

And no you are not.
(68 GT6, 72 GT6 MKIII, 71 MGB GT, and a 62 MGA roadster with a Jedson supercharger)
And for all the complaining, I ran my GT6’s every day and scored well over 100,000 miles on each. Now the MG’s are a different story........................
He should fly over anyway and have AF1 do a low slow fly by over London with s big MAGA banner towed behind it!
Thank you for that thoughtful reply! Very interesting, all of it.

Mary, Mother of Mercy, I love this man!
I once heard a body language expert analyze this unpleasant Piece of Work. She pointed to many examples of body language that showed May to be a hypocrite and a liar. She’s a good fit with the EU, and is no true patriot for the U.K.
