The Special Relationship in danger
Forgive me for blogging twice in one day but I forgot to mention the hilarious Daily Telegraph stories about the Secretary Generalship of NATO.
Apparently Washington has blocked the UK’s Secretary of Defence Ben Wallace from getting the job.
Herald harrumphing galore from the Torygraph.
Apparently this puts the Special Relationship “at threat” no less, it is an insult, an anti UK plot by President Biden and so on. All obviously spinning gone mad from the government.
If your candidate is not going to make it the best thing to do is at least pretend to be a team player and cheer the winner. If leaving the EU and hacking off the US President makes it very unlikely your candidate will make it, then change your policies or at least stop pretending he will make it.
The clever thing to do is not to insult Washington or the President or threaten to take your ball home.
Claiming this is a threat to the Special Relationship when the Americans are nice enough to pretend that it still matters is just rank stupidity from Brexit idealists who can’t see the reality of the damage they are causing.
Ben Wallace may just not be the best person for the job, but the pathetic whinging from his supporters tells you all you know about the countries status and reputation.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
