May, Hoisted by Her Own Petard By Peter Ewer

     The assassination plot on British Prime Minster Theresa May is somewhat ironic, given the controversy generated by her remarks over the Tweets by President Donald Trump about Islamic Terrorists:

     Have a read of this joint statement:
“We wish to express our profound shock and condemnation of the actions of President Donald Trump in retweeting video messages produced by the extremist far right group, Britain First (Report, 29 November).
The videos are gratuitously offensive to all sections of our communities. They have been produced with the clear intention of sowing hatred and division. Had President Trump tweeted this material in error, he has had ample opportunity to retract it and to apologise. Instead, he has reacted to measured criticism of his actions by the prime minister, Theresa May, and the British government, by attacking them and deepening the offence caused. The president’s actions are also extraordinary and unfathomable, not least because the United States and the United Kingdom have had such long, strong and deeply cordial ties. His actions have been described as unorthodox in some quarters. Most right-thinking people think they are plain offensive.”

     Well, is this offensive too?

     There have been 9 terror plots busted just this year. So, how in the world is Trump wrong? Where is sanity in Britain anymore? Has it gone out of the window with the Royal wedding?
