JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE GUARDIAN ON BRITAIN'S WEAKENED INTERNATIONAL STANDING WITH BREXIT - WHAT INTERNATIONAL STANDING? WITH A PRIME MINISTER AND FOREIGN MINISTER ACTING LIKE NAME-CALLING CHILDREN?




COMMENT POSTED TO AN EDITORIAL IN THE GUARDIAN (AND SURPRSINGLY LEFT UP BY EDITOR)


“The Guardian view on Britain and Europe: mixed-up messages”

Sorry, but it is not only Brexit weakening Britain's international standing.

Theresa May has gone full over to Tony Blair's level of behavior in trying to prove a deadly accusation for which there is not an ounce of real proof.

It's just shameful for a head of government to act this way.

And her court jester - aka, Britain's Foreign Minister - has literally joined the old music hall comedians for outrageous statements.

In fact, I think he missed his real calling.

But Putin, for those who study him, stands out as the greatest statesman of the era.

I don’t see a lot to be proud of, and certainly not a lot to command the world's respect.
