    The latter mate. Plus a more secure way for diplomats to send their advice to our politicians.

    Yes, but his position was still untenable.

    Never lived there mate so I cant make a comparison. I would like to believe that democracy should be based on truths otherwise it's just a con and corrupt.

    No, he should tell it as he sees it to his bosses.

    He should ensure that this advice can't be leaked. He failed.

    Great to see anti-Boris hysteria already reaching anti-Trump hysteria levels before he's even become PM.

    But you've heard what it's like in North Korea surely?
    You can't see a difference between here and there?

    No it’s not surrendered. It’s shared, by a conscious positive decision.

    I get sovereignty very well, it’s not a perception it’s a legal status, I just don’t think increasing our current level of national sovereignty makes much difference to my life. I also get patriotism, I just don’t feel it in the same way as you. Diversity, yeah!

    Report fly-posting
    Fly-posters usually advertise events with posters, stickers or bills that are put up without the permission of the property owner. Fly-posting is a criminal offence. Report fly-posters to your local council or the police.

    Is that it?
    The answers seems to be just use the word crap

    Try and read SB’s post with a open mind the answers are inside your own head if only you could be rational about Brexit it would be a start

    Any ideas what to do post Brexit yet? Who are you following? Are you happy ?

    There is a light if only you are brave enough to invite it in.

    Sovereignty... would be interesting to see a few on here even try and understand it then be brave enough to post what they actually think it is

    Strip away the rational as you did brilliantly what is left? We really are a grumpy grubby little island all of us self obsessed without a clue exactly how sick we really are

    My observations I assess regularly as I switch cultures regularly and yes driven me nuts at times but I believe not many would be able to define sovereignty today in 2019

    Again it was a brilliant post SB and deserves praise imo

    He was just doing his job by reporting back how he found the Trump administration. The fault lies with the leaker, not the ambassador. Both May and Hunt backed him but Johnson wouldn't, after Trump, who thinks he can choose our ambassador and wants Farage, reacted like the child that he is. Darroch could have retired gracefully, as he was scheduled to soon, if Johnson hadn't thrown him under the bus.

    Trump would have forgotten it quickly enough anyway, he soon got over Kim Jong-Un calling him a dotard.
