Trump hits out at UK PM May over tweets
Dave Lee North America technology reporter

Donald Trump has told UK Prime Minister Theresa May to focus on "terrorism" in the UK after she criticised his sharing of far-right videos.

"Don't focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom," Mr Trump tweeted.

The US president had earlier retweeted three inflammatory videos posted online by a British far-right group.

I applaud the President for giving attention to this issue instead of sitting back. We see where that gets one.

Trump is the boy that keeps pointing out the Emperor isn't wearing any clothes.   



Thank God someone finally has the brass to tell these people the truth;   that their political correctness is killing them.

Official Britain is in the grip of a paralyzing neurosis about Islam.  So the truth about Islam is heavily suppressed there.  Wilders, Geller and Robert Spencer simply report what Muslims do but they must be kept out of Britain because of that.  Facts are forbidden.

It's notable that no one is disputing the accuracy of what Trump tweeted. They are only criticizing the channel through which that information came.

If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the hit dogs yelps.

Britain is upset because they know the accusations are true. If they were false, Britain would ignore them. When you make it a crime to tell the truth, it's because the truth is too obvious. The best part of this whole thing is that Trump doesn't seem to care what they think. Banning the POTUS from Britain just makes Britain look childish.

Given British laws against hate speech, Trump might even have veered into dangerous territory if he still hopes to visit the country soon. In May’s previous role as home minister, she added two Islamophobic American bloggers, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, to a list of “extremists” barred from travel to the country, on the grounds that their presence could “foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the U.K.”

Britain imports its terrorism so the whole premise is laughable. So it's fine to bring in people who are going to kill you wholesale but illegal to bring in people who talk about it.

Britain has become a 1980's comedy routine.

I have read that in Britain,  you can be fined or imprisoned for saying anything derogatory about Muslims or Homosexuals.     

Trump just did something for which they would have prosecuted one of their own "Subjects",  and they can't touch him.   

I'm sure they are seething.   Freedom of Speech makes a big difference in preventing Authoritarian state activities.

Trump is shining sunlight on the whole corrupt mess that is England's suppression of the Truth and suppression of  people's ability to speak the truth.

In todays' Britain quoting Winston Churchill on Islam will get you thrown in jail for
hate speech. PC ism is killing Western Europe (with a big assist from Merkel)

He's doing this all by his lonesome. It would be ironic if this apolitical showman ended up responsible for changing the current trajectory of the west.

One more homerun tweet.
Mr. Trump says what needs to be said in a short, concise statement.

Why are there folks around here who get so upset that he is able to communicate "directly to the people" this way?

I saw a comment over at TOS today that I thought was a very astute observation.

The poster observed that Great Britain is now in its "post-Christian" stage.
Which will eventually be replaced by its conversion to islam.

Much could be said regarding the rest of Western Europe as well.
Not to mention... right here.
