Then it depends on who replaces him and whether they feel the UK or the EU best supports the interests of the US. But it's fair to say that Trump is fairly pro-British given his family connections and though he isn't a great ideologue and is more of a pragmatist, his political stance aligns closer to a Conservative UK than the EU. If he loses the election then the next incumbent may not be so pro-UK, so we need to get a move on with negotiations Edited February 6, 2020 by Rock The Boat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In their act, Mike came on stage first, playing his clarinet. The Weegie audience was unimpressed and when Bernie, wearing an old-fashioned coat and a bowler hat shoved his face out between the curtains with his usual grin and ‘eeeeeeeeeeeee’ noise, one jakey in the front row was heard to shout, ‘Christ, there’s two of them!’ " 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted February 6, 2020 incident occurred in January 1976, when HMS Andromeda collided with Þór, which sustained a hole in its hull; the hull of Andromeda was dented. The British Ministry of Defence said that the collision represented a "deliberate attack" on the British warship 'without regard for life'. The Icelandic Coast Guard, on the other hand insisted, that Andromeda had rammed Þór by "overtaking the boat and then swiftly changing course'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
