King Charles visits and some interesting things happen
First we have the friendly bee, which Trump had eating out of the palm of his hand:
Next we have a photo that Trump playfully labeled “Two kings”:

Trump has a way of turning criticisms into humor in a clever jujutsu – although I doubt Democrats see it that way.
King Charles also gave Trump an appropriate gift:
King Charles III presented President Trump with the bell from a World War II-era British submarine — dubbed the HMS Trump — at the White House state dinner Tuesday, where the two leaders bonded over highs and lows of the centuries-long US-UK relationship.
The shiny brass bell bearing Trump’s name and 1944, the year the submarine left a UK shipyard, was part of a vessel that played “a critical role during the war in the Pacific,” according to the king.
“May it stand as a testimony to our nations’ shared history and shining future,” Charles said, describing the offering as his “personal gift.”
It would certainly be nice if Britain moved closer to the US, but it certainly hasn’t been happening in recent years.
I don’t envy Charles and Camilla, having to be photographed standing next to the tall Trump and statuesque Melania:
Trump actually looks surprisingly good in formal attire. But Charles has that sash, after all.
Let’s see how Charles acts in NY and VA.
yes, he came across relatively witty, must have had a pretty good speech writer,
instead of unintentionally foolish on some matters, as his stance with skydragon, and Gaza, the latter is not terribly surprising sadly, one has to pretend that the rule of law, or even freedom of speech really operate in Oceania, see the events in Gilder’s Green today, (which the dailies have soft pedaled, like voldemort, the problem cannot really be faced) the Foreign Office doesn’t dissapoint, in its venomous anti Jewish sentiment, the replacement for the grubby hack mandelson, Brian Turner, some place holder,
I am a dissapointed Anglophile, to what Ole Brittania has become, just in the last 30 years, I guess he has to keep a stiff upper limit, to deal with the pigs breakfast Starmer has made, the era of Churchill has long passed, of course he’s not viewed as an unalloyed plus, in certain places like India, because of the war,
the President in his brash unabbashed way, is a booster of Anglo Sazon culture, probably more than Charles, less relativist, not resentful over his scottish heritage,
My Wife and I traveled all over the UK, by car. Mostly stayed off the M roads, took a lot be B roads. We stayed in B&B’s, ate great English Breakfast. Had some very good food in Pubs in out of the way places. Loved it. We even enjoyed London. Times have changed.
By the way the Foreign Office has always been a center of antisemitism. Upper levels of British Society were/are bred that way. It has moved down now, with all the Muslims. Shame really.
I have been rewatching, for the umpteenth time, Midsomer Murders. All that beautiful English Countryside, and village. Never going back. Getting to old to drive there, and it would not be the same without my Sandy.
another gift from the horn of africa,

Mr. London Stabby is a British “naturalized” citizen from Somalia.
Shocked, I am. (Sarc)
He must have thought it was WW Eleven all over again, i.e., OK to kill the Jews.
