Boris Johnson
was accused of 'dog whistle racism' and likened to right-wing 'Tea
Party' politicians in the US this morning after his attack on the
'part-Kenyan' Barack Obama.
The Mayor of London spoke
out against the US President after he urged British voters to stay in
the EU and mentioned his African ancestry as he criticised the decision
to remove a bust of Sir Winston Churchill from the Oval Office shortly
after Mr Obama entered the White House.
Mr
Johnson - who is favourite to succeed David Cameron as Prime Minister -
suggested the President got rid of the statue as a 'snub' to Britain's
wartime prime minister and a 'symbol of the part-Kenyan President's
ancestral dislike of the British empire'.
But Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell hit out at Mr Johnson and demanded he withdraw the controversial remarks.

I pray above all things that the Mayor of London does not apologize. He said nothing inaccurate (the 1/2 Kenyan remark was referring to the anti-colonial Obamadaddy) - It further reinforces us 'colonists' back here in America to see how our dear leader stands firmly against national sovereignty ...not that we didn't already know that.

DeleteThat's the Hope/Plan ;) Looking to get married this summer in Hawaii during a visit with my kids.
DeleteOh, my, you're not going to ruin it all, are you..............? :)
DeleteWe are two old-fashioned dinosaurs who can surely tolerate 20 years or so together. A few friends, now including you, think I am nuts to do this and that there is no point. The hopeless romantics, say go for it!
DeleteThe hopeless romantics
Delete& you are most definitely one! :) Good luck.
Such is the expected reaction to speaking the truth. I am no Anglophile. My grandmother, a lifelong member of the DAR, always told me "We kicked those damn people out of here for a good reason!. Beyond that what the Brits decide to do concerning their own national sovereignty is their business. But then Obama acting like an arrogant jerk is to be fully expected and ignored.

DeleteIndeed.
Churchill was a true intellectual, understood good v evil. Chose for the betterment of mankind. A great individual who should never have to be mentioned in the same post with a complete fascist loser like obama
