Snark from Blighty

DC Whispers reports gossip from the Trump-goes-to-Britain story. As I’m an Anglophile, and I like this President, I find it fun. I hope you will too.

When Queen Elizabeth extended a state visit invitation to President Trump the anti-Trumpers were predictably outraged. The queen ignored that outrage and in her own steely-eyed way, swatted them aside with a public warm welcome to a president some have said she holds a great deal of respect and admiration for and who reminds her more than a little of the legendarily brash and outspoken Winston Churchill who the queen worked with many decades ago.

The Queen’s most notable rebuke came against London Mayor Sadiq Khan who she apparently detests. Khan, a radical anti-Trumper, was left off the guest list for the state dinner.

Mayor Khan is easy to dislike, as nasty as he is inept at keeping the city safe. Monty Python’s John Cleese was correct when he recently said London is no longer a British city ... darned shame, too.
