US Ambassador dives into the Luxembourg problem

Luxembourg PM Xavier Bettel's behaviour is a reminder of why UK wants Brexit says US ambassador ….Woody Johnson said that Brits had "built the greatest empire" and "held off the Nazis" so they "don't need a lecture from anybody on how to run their country... and that includes Brussels"."We stand with the people of the UK and we always will," he said, according to The Telegraph.https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/luxembourg-pms-behaviour-is-a-reminder-of-why-britain-wants-brexit-says-us-ambassador-woody-johnson-a4239636.html?utAs a 72 year old, he should know history better and certainly not attempt to rewrite it.As an Ambassador to the UK, he should keep his mouth shut on UK matters.  I do not hold any hope that the man is capable of understanding this.  Shame on him.

Such a great empire that the American colonies revolted and declared UDI? He's a political Trump appointee so unlikely to understand the subtleties of European or colonial history - or I supplies anything for that matter! Just wait for his redaction if Corbyn ever becomes PM 🙂

Mike I think I know what you’re trying say but maybe you should switch your spellcheck on??

Thanks Jonathan! supplies=suppose ; redaction=reaction. Perhaps I should turn predictive off and get some new reading glasses ...

It's predictive that's the problem although some people seem to be really good at translating it!  :)
