Britain's left-wing foreign secretary, who has been humiliated for kissing President-elect Donald Trump after his election victory, has previously labeled him “no friend of Britain” and “a sociopath with neo-Nazi sympathies” It was called.
Before becoming Britain's top diplomat, David Lammy spent years accusing Trump of histrionic fear-mongering.
“Yes, if Trump comes to the UK, I will be protesting in the streets,” Lamy claimed in similar alarming and critical remarks in 2017. “He's a racist KKK and Nazi sympathizer,” he said, without giving any such wild reasons. A disturbing suspicion.
A year later, he called the then-president a “misogynist, neo-Nazi-sympathetic sociopath” and a “serious threat to the international order.”
And ahead of President Trump's state visit to the UK in 2019, Mr Lamy further doubled down, calling the then-president “deceitful, dishonest, xenophobic and narcissistic” and calling him “a friend of the UK”. No,” he called.
Everything seems to have changed now that the once most feared enemy is back in the White House and Ramey is responsible for maintaining relations with the country's most important ally.
Ramy: “Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on your win.” I wrote this early Wednesday morning. After President Trump's landslide victory.
“The UK has no greater friend than the US, and we have cherished our special relationship for over 80 years on both sides of the Atlantic. I look forward to working with you and @JDVance in the coming years. ” Ramy wrote, indicating that he no longer intends to take to the streets to protest.
The sudden turn of events has made Ramy the butt of online jokes and memes. some phones “To remove this clown from his position.”
“David Lammy should resign now” Political analyst Niall Gardiner argued that:A former aide to former Conservative Party leader Margaret Thatcher.
Adding to the humiliation, the difficult-minded Mr Lamy tried to shake it off on Friday when he heard his old words read out during an interview with the BBC.
“I'm a foreign minister. There are things I know now that I didn't know then,” he said of his “quite ripe” words.
Mr Lamy dismissed the insults as “old news” and described the next prime minister as “someone with whom we can build relationships in the national interest”.
He praised Trump's election campaign for having “run it very well” and insisted the prime minister-elect is actually a friend of Britain.
“I know this is a topic of discussion today, but in a world where there is war in Europe, huge loss of life in the Middle East, and a truly special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom, it is difficult to imagine the last mission. “We will build on our common interests so that we can once again have a president of the United States with experience in delivering,” Lamy said.
“We agree and agree on many things, but when we disagree, those conversations are also mostly private.”
