Good piece.
I really like that first paragraph because it captures the situation in Britain perfectly.
Talk about inept government, Britain has it in spades.
Gavin Williamson, the Defence Minister, of course, is one of the most absurd figures in Europe. He tries regularly to compete with Trump for brainless remarks. He may even be winning the competition.
Nice quiet diplomatic statement by Mrs. Merkel. I'm actually a bit surprised.
But she has been showing more independence of mind recently in the face of Trump's graceless, dumb assaults on just about everything in Europe.
