Theresa May appealed that decision, and after yesterday\u2019s Supreme Court ruling upholding the original decision, <a title=\"Brexit: Theresa May promises White Paper on EU exit plan\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-politics-38737967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">she is now quoted as saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I recognise that there is an appetite in this House to see that plan set out in a White Paper. I can confirm to the House that our plan will be set out in a White Paper published in this House.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The words \u2018cow\u2019 and \u2018two-faced\u2019 spring instantly to mind. This is precisely the opposite of what she has been saying since last summer, and which she went to court to try to maintain.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, when Theresa May came to power, the likelihood of Donald Trump becoming president of the USA was seen as being as likely as Hell freezing over. I do not think \u2013 for even a second \u2013 that Theresa May wanted Trump in the White House, and I am equally certain that behind closed doors she made the same comments that the rest of the world was making. If nothing else, we can be absolutely certain that, given the choice, she would not have wanted Trump.<\/p>\n<p>But Hell froze over twice in 2016 \u2013 once with Brexit, and then with Trump \u2013 and will go down in history as a turning point, in much the same way that 1914 and 1939 were turning points. Therefore, <a title=\"May to vow to renew special relationship ahead of Trump meeting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-politics-38747979\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it is sickening that May is now kissing up to Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Every single thing Donald Trump said or did during his election campaign went against the morals of huge swathes of people. Indeed, the only people in America who he didn\u2019t insult were the same sorts of people who voted to leave the EU in the UK (with the exception of women, who he insulted every time he opened his mouth). American Redneck males love him. And that\u2019s all, folks.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has more recently claimed that \u201cwater-boarding\u201d \u2013 a type of torture used on people to make them confess to anything you want them to confess to, and which is similar to drowning them slowly \u2013 works. Torture is illegal under both US and International Law. He <a title=\"Trump Advances Border Wall to Start Immigration Crackdown\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/politics\/articles\/2017-01-25\/trump-to-unveil-plans-for-mexico-border-wall-in-security-push\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">intends to build a wall between Mexico and the US<\/a>, in a chilling echo of Berlin in 1961. He has <a title=\"Trump clears way for controversial oil pipelines\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-trump-pipeline-idUSKBN15820N\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">already started moving on controversial oil pipelines through Native American territory<\/a> \u2013 still more chilling echoes, this time of the White Man\u2019s advance through the Americas in the 1700s and 1800s. Trump is also a climate change denier, and has recently <a title=\"Donald Trump orders Environmental Protection Agency to delete all climate change information from its website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/life-style\/gadgets-and-tech\/news\/donald-trump-environmental-protection-agency-website-climate-change-global-warming-a7544621.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ordered the American Environmental Protection&nbsp; Agency (EPA) to delete all data<\/a> relating to climate change from its website (he has previously claimed that climate change is a Chinese hoax).<\/p>\n<p>Then we come to <a title=\"Donald Trump sexism tracker: Every offensive comment in one place\" href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/women\/politics\/donald-trump-sexism-tracker-every-offensive-comment-in-one-place\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trump\u2019s comments relating to women<\/a> (well, anyone who isn\u2019t heterosexual and male, really). To be sure, some of his quips would be innocuous on their own. However, every single one of them takes on a whole new meaning when you consider them all together, and especially when you remember that they have come repeatedly from the mouth of a man who is now President of the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Just as you don\u2019t need to be a genius to know with absolute certainty what Theresa May thought of Trump as a prospective White House candidate, or her reaction when he won, you also don\u2019t need to guess very hard to imagine Trump\u2019s view of Theresa May \u2013 past or present.<\/p>\n<p>Theresa May broadcasting that she wants to cosy up to Trump in spite of all of this is simply an example of two desperate people looking for support. May is trying to screw the UK, and Trump is trying to screw the US. Neither realises it \u2013 but the shocking thing is that the public as a whole doesn\u2019t realise it, either. That\u2019s why we have May and Brexit this side of the pond, and Trump and\u2026 well, you can\u2019t really put him into words\u2026 on&nbsp; the other.<\/p>\n<p>Brexit is wrong. Trump is wrong. And God help us all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theresa May has spent the whole time since she became PM absolutely refusing to give details of her plans for Brexit, and refusing equally absolutely to involve parliament in the whole affair.
