TRUMP, What the hell is going on

My understanding of what Ambassadors do in respect of commenting upon individuals, in the way our ex-US Ambassador has been advising on Trump, is to gather and consolidate views commonly held by experienced US and other commentators and those close to the White House in some way, and provide that to the UK government. My understanding is that they aim to keep their own views out of these briefings. But I am only reporting what I have heard. This is not my opinion.

Clearly not, following the news update. The "expert" I was in the pub with last night offered £50 on a resignation by the end of the week.... I can't see where a comment by an ambassador slagging off the administration of an ally wouldn't require the boot! (as I mentioned earlier, there is a separation of protocol and anyone's opinion of Trump)

Nope. He did his job as instructed and is now playing the game, sadly. It’s pathetic but we’ve bent over for Trump because we’re hoping the USA will go gentle after Brexit.

We really are a laughing stock of a nation to the point where Trump can bully us around.

All because of Brexit. Shameful.

Its nothing to do with Brexit. Do you honestly expect the UK to jeopardise relations with the USA over this memo. The problem is not what was written but that it was leaked, in these circumstances people get shafted in the backfire, it's the Mole that needs screwing.

Brexit is the reason this is all happening, possibly. If Farage gets the job instead it’s clear it was a set up job.

Ah, lets blame Brexit! The NLP is working!

Slagging off the administration of the country in which you are serving, is a sacking offence. Civil Service Code is absolutely clear about it. Resigned to protect pension....

It’s sad that you truly think what you’re saying is reasonable and correct.

Hey, I’m only a freelance, just showed this to a 30 year Civil Servant who quipped, “you’d hope a guy in the Diplomatic Service would be, um, more diplomatic!”

You continuing to push your opinion based on a complete lack of knowledge of the role of an ambassador.
 
No. You reject my view based on a demonstrated lack of knowledge of the Civil Service Code.....motivated I guess by a hatred of Trump.

You said its sad I think what I said is correct. I am commenting on a code of conduct I've signed. Which bit of that isn't true?

But let's agree to disagree

Yup. Not long ago the British Diplomats were well known for their mastery of the ability to use non-offensive language to be extremely insulting; Darroch clearly missed that bit of the training.

Please educate us on your specific knowledge of the role of an ambassador. I assume by your comments you have suitable experience backed with expert knowledge. I am genuinely interested in your explanation.
 
Some blatant racism from everyone’s favourite oaf today, telling congresswomen to go back to the countries they came from.
