I think the queen was quite happy to have the Trumps visit, in this Brexit mess. It is either that the UK stays in the EU and face the EU mess, or it exits with crumbling off parts of her kingdom. I do not think she was too concerned about the Trumps and lack of protocol, she might actually agree with Trump laying into May.

	"We are all a part of the problem, whether you like it or not." -TobiasM When you say 'we are all part of the problem', are you saying that everyone born in the West is guilty of living a lavish, luxurious lifestyle and are therefore 'part of the problem'? Or is it that as human beings on this planet, we are all 'part of the problem'?

This collective "we" is a typical marxist schtick, no accountability. "We" doesn't exist. There are people in the West that have hard time pulling it off as it is, just like there are people in the EE who are not well, either. To have some arrogant political leadership impose a guilt trip - isn't a good starting point for humanitarian spirit. Human trafficking should not be used for virtue signalling.

What's Trump got to do with the "Brexit mess"? He's the leader of the US.

Had she been "happy" with his visit, he wouldn't have been sidelined to Windsor Castle.

I guess you just have to be British to "get" royal protocol...

If the Queen was happy then it would have been a formal State Visit like the Russia and China Presidents received?

"virtue signalling" - Newest Spanky fan phrase, add it to your list, above 'Snowflake' and below 'fake news'

Apparently Ms. May was advised by Mr. Trump that she should not negotiate but she should sue the EU.

Obviously rocket science.

I'm surprised he didn't advise Ms. May to declare the UK bankrupt, so they didn't have to pay their EU creditors.

“I mean they have a lot of great product. They make phenomenal things, you know, and you have different names – you can say ‘England’, you can say ‘UK’, you can say ‘United Kingdom’".

No Donald, you can't. Fork me sideways - and we're meant to be taking advice from him?

	In fairness to Trump, not the first time I have seen him not manage to walk correctly and quickly lose direction. That's why he takes people's hands like May, or puts his arm across people's back/shoulder when walking. Reckon he has dyspraxia and spatial awareness issues, struggles with coordination, left and right etc. he has large handwriting too.

Apparently, he has problems with walking down steps, which is why he took May's hand. I have Benign positional vertigo (BPV) and have the same 'issue', so recognise a possible cause of his hesitance.

I never heard virtue signaling used before EF. But now I realize it‘s a frame used to help the user feel morally superior. As if.

My dyslexic brain sees vulture swinging. About the same, i guess.

Any Spanky fans want to try and justify Spankys meeting with his handler being private? with no official record, not even a top secret record.

Anything? no matter how bizarre, cos it sure looks like he has something to hide.

as some of you *erhem* still advocate the supreme tangerine, I’ll leave this little gem.

How does this work?

For those who question why we comment on Spanky here!

	Quote:
	President Donald Trump named the European Union, Russia and China as foes to the United States during an interview at his golf club in Scotland. "I think we have a lot of foes," Trump told CBS News in an interview segment that aired Sunday on "Face the Nation." "I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now you wouldn't think of the European Union, but they're a foe."

With Spanky's attacks on NATO, EU, Canada and Mexico so Putin must be opening champagne continually, Trump is relentlessly pursuing Putin's goals.

The American right has considered the EU to be a foe since long before most of us had ever heard of Uncle Vlad. I remember defending the EU against angry Republicans on American discussion boards almost twenty years ago (oh, the naïvety!).

And if the EU is so great, why Brexit?

Being able to vote against the EU (and the UN) were major motivations for me to become Swiss.

Surprising then that the foe, EU, has so many troops in Afghanistan supporting the US; I assume the EU would be happy to bring them home?
More fool the EU for keeping them there!

EU Countries with troops in Afghanistan include;
Bulgaria
Belgium
Republic of Cyprus
Czech Republic
Denmark
Estonia
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Ireland
Italy
Latvia
Lithuania
Poland
Portugal
Romania
Slovakia
Slovenia
Spain
Sweden
UK

"long before most of us had ever heard of Uncle Vlad ..... almost twenty years ago? Putin became Acting President in 1999, that would be 19 years ago? So almost twenty years ago? Maybe you first heard of Uncle Vlad later than the rest of us!

Sometimes I think you must be a bit simple.
