‘Ridiculous and absurd’: Douglas Murray slams David Lammy’s ‘stupid’ old Trump remarks

YouTube Looks like the Brits have the same issues selecting good people for critical jobs as Americans. TD

"Author Douglas Murray has slammed UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy over his previous remarks about former US president Donald Trump.

“He also showed in recent years he doesn’t only lack knowledge, he lacks wisdom and judgement,” he told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “ 'Because anyone wise and judicious would not, in any circumstances, be sending out stupid, abusive tweets about the president, the leader of Britain’s most important ally, the closest ally the United States. “Would not send out abusive tweets making completely ridiculous and absurd and insulting claims about him.”


  • Comments to this video: "So the UK basically has a Foreign Secretary that will not be welcome in America if Trump wins office. And Starmer thinks it's a good idea to elevate him to that position."
  • "Were I Trump, I would refuse to meet with him and get low-level staff to handle the meetings or agree to meet Lammy's underlings. It would make Lammy's role untenable."
  • "The USA people were saying sending someone of Lammy´s low intellect and even lower understanding of American political policies was a total insult. Comments about him slumping in his seat like a sulky teenager and fighting to keep his eyes open during speeches put him on the same level as Biden!"
  • I remember when Lammy was on the TV saying you never see a Policeman round here and behind him is a Policeman. There is no way this Maccy D fries flipper is going to be meeting Trump if he becomes president, so that really helps the UK - US relationship.
"On Thursday, he refused to say whether he was wrong to call Mr Trump a “neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath” while a backbench MP in 2018, telling BBC Breakfast that “lots of people had things to say” about Trump."

Now on to Lammy's tweets....
