There could be no starker illustration of the profound differences that exist between Washington and London -- despite alignment on many other issues -- than comments this week by our two leaders on climate change and the environment.
For President Trump, the Paris Agreement is a bad deal that will close US businesses -- perhaps even has closed some already.
Meanwhile, in London last week, Prime Minister Theresa May was launching the UK's 25-year Plan for Nature. Its flagship pledge is to "leave the environment in a better state than we found it".
The evidence is entirely against the world view of Donald Trump and entirely consistent with that of Theresa May.
My grandfather, Sir Winston Churchill, knew a thing or two about courage. President Trump is, I gather, a fan, having a bust of him in the Oval Office. Without Churchill's determination, the Nazis would have won the war in Europe. But this is equally true of his respect for evidence. You cannot defeat an enemy of markedly superior forces unless you have better information and make better decisions.
Were he our Prime Minister today, it is pretty clear he would have said the same things on climate change as Theresa May has this week. Because, simply, she is right, and she is acting in the interests of her people.

Trumps not Churchill and Chirchill wasn’t American
CNN would have labeled Churchill as a racist war-monger.
Gotta hand it to the Leftists, they never run short of new absurdities to loft.
That’s funny, Sir Nicholas, Lord Monckton asserts the opposite.
Churchill was as American as Barack Hussein Obama.
Churchill was as American as Obama. Churchill’s mother was American.

He’s got a lot to do to rise to the level of Wanker.
Guess he didn’t watch The Crown when Winnie mocked the weather hysterics over the famous London fog disaster.
Sir Nicholas Soames? Not credible.
If the author was someone with gravitas, like Sir Mix A Lot, I’d pay attention to the article.
Since you mentioned Churchill and Muslims, I’ll take the opportunity to strongly recommend reading Churchill’s war correspondent accounts of wars with Muslims. They both should have been immediate post-9/11 required reading for all officers and NCOs in the armed forces, all Foreign Service involved with the Middle East, and all intelligence agency leadership.
They’re both quick reads, as they originated as serial dispatches from the front. Free at Project Gutenberg, read them on your tablet, phone, or computer. Or go dead trees and print them out, heck, I’m OK with that!

CNN....making up news again.
Yup. This was the dumbass who claimed that Charlie, Prince of Wales was not having an affair when Diana claimed he was.
Well, that and knocking out the sun.
What utter tripe
Churchill would have resisted the NWO
unless it was run by the Empire
Which you damn sure could have done a lot worse than
The latter, being known for facing the truth in spite of the lemmings allied against it, would not have flinched from publicly deriding the cult eco-totalitarianism.
Were he still here to do so, his would surely be among the vanguard of voices warning of the inherent evil of the Green Curtain of climate Lysenkoism threatening, in its utter hysteria, the rational foundations of honest scientific inquiry.
Soames is a degraded copy of a copy of Churchill.
Didn’t Churchill smoke cigars? Pollutant. He would have been anti-climate.
No; he would have shot the Mohammedans (as he called them) in the head before they could even get a foothold in Britain. “The River War” shows his impression of them.
