Not that many. There'll always be a few whack jobs.
What you're more likely to see is people being tongue in cheek, and politicians making nice. They don't mean what they're saying. We're very, very good at double-speak.
Most of us never believed in the 'special relationship' crap to start with.
As an immigrant from Eastern Europe and Germany I wholeheartedly disagree with your assessment. Britons, Germans, Americans, you name it, all fell for the social media manipulation. Watch this space- farage will be pm in 2029.
Nope. The majority of people most assuredly did NOT.
Unfortunately the arseholes shout louder and for longer. I will say that there are far too many people afflicted by apathy though, as proven by the poor turnouts in both US and UK elections.
Not a chance lol. The most recent elections proved that. Labour didn't slightly win, they won by a landslide. Farage has proved many times in the past that he's another of Putin's puppets, not only that, he's universally hated 🤣
Oh he’s not though. This is the first time he actually got elected after how many attempts. Putin and the masses that think it’s the immigrants that are the problem, not the14 years of Tory plunder and capitalism, will do it. I’m sure a lot of dems in the USA thought 🍊💩 is universally hated.
Would you like to try that one again?? There is no "Putin and the masses" in the UK. Putin sympathisers are a ridiculously small minority in the UK that get mocked relentlessly by the British public for good reason. Your comments sound like you plucked them from the front page of the daily mail ffs🙄
I just don’t think the British people are as smart and astute as you think they are. I recommend you don’t lull yourself into some kind of ‘it’ll never happen here’ …
This is why people need to vote Lib in future, like i did 😊 I'm hoping that the complacent half of the country that didn't vote will get off their arses now the world is going to 💩 and fascism is knocking at the door. We can only hope.
Yes, ‘best’ we can hope for. Although mainstream tories quite fash nowadays… Sulla braverman with her Goebbels-like rhetoric was shocking to me… Even went on her FB to tell her how shameful it was, pissed me off so much.
That's not the best we can hope for, it's the best Farage can hope for. They'll never manage an outright parliamentary majority. It won't happen.
His best result is a coalition which gives him some power.
The more likely result is he'll not get anywhere near enough votes to do anything with
Brexit is an aberration too? 4 mil votes for Farage in 2015? 14 years of Tory rule? Liz Truss? That troglodyte MP (Gullis?) and plenty others?
All aberrations?
Italy has been getting 20+ years of Russian propaganda. Putin was pally even with Berlusconi back in the early 2000s, without mentioning Salvini of Lega and Conte M5S. Plus PD advocating fake peace.
I don't think it's because Italians like Trump per se. It's more like Italians are confident that, whatever happens anywhere else, nothing ever changes in Italy!
it’s insane to watch Italians not learn the lessons of their parents and grandparents. fascism is going to fuck Italy’s shit up again because of idiotic bigotry. nice job, jackasses.
If only the US was able to see ourselves as others see us. Unfortunately, 50 years of brainwashing from Heritage and 20+ from Putin have been highly effective.
He is a threat to peace. If Russia launched nuclear missiles on a country we have sworn to defend, I doubt we would. Now Russia is thankfully in no shape to do that, but it doesn't matter. Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) no longer seems to apply.
Can confirm for Germany with a survey commissioned by public broadcaster ARD
The question here was whom do you trust. The right side expresses mistrust in the different countries.
Low trust for US is a double edged sword! 😣
We can’t trust US because of this new administration.
We can’t NOT trust US because that plays right in to Putin’s interests.
Hmm... I get where you're coming from, but some here in the US think there is not much difference, because a lot of what's happening right now only makes sense if T***p is working for / with Putin.
But looks as adrift as Moseley in 1939. Of course things can and will change. But it does give Starmer a strong hand. And leadership in Europe at a critical moment.
Oh, agree completely. This is, hopefully, the end of reform's growth. I believe it needs to persist if only to reduce the Tories to a rump. The creation of peripheral parties and phoney candidates is a long standing KGB methodology.
There's a reason Nigel Farage is very cautious about throwing his weight behind Russia unlike other populist parties in Europe. Cold War foreign policy lifestyle is very entrenched in the UK. And Nigel's voter base, currently at least, is full of Boomer ex-Tories who are very Putin-sceptic still
And these are the same ones who chose brexit? Even they aren't that clueless. What does that say about the self-destructive nature of the American cult-think?
I guess English-speakers being able to hear the real voice of Trump and the crap he's saying as he's saying it, may partly explain those high figures of mistrust. Whenever I hear Trump's whining tone... 🤨🤮🤬
Great Britain has been the country in Europe with the greatest connection to the US due to its original American colonies forming the foundation for the later USA. Now they are rightly evaluating the potential for danger that the Trump administration has and readying the garlic, stakes & crosses.
I had assumed as trudeau had hinted he was going to ask him to say something that charles then would, no one can know if he'd did really ask I guess. The only thing I can make out is the sleeve insignia? Same as my dad had in the craf? I don't have great definition in my tablet?
Enough to energize the people to get strong together! Maybe the disruption in reliance on the US brings together Europe again. Britain is a part of Europe and I hope they feel it too 🫶
You've seen huge democratic accountability ....first in 2019 to elect Boris to implement the democratic wishes of the country (also highlighted by the destruction of anti democrats like Jo Swinson and Chuka Umunna)
And again last year to throw him out when the Tories were so awful
Ronald Reagan on December 3, 1987: “The United States, as the most powerful of the free nations, is looked to for leadership by those who live in freedom and as a mighty source of hope to those who languish under tyranny.”
I don't see Canada on there. They are taking Trump's threats very seriously - not just the booing and removing US products from shelves. WWIII is indeed on the horizon is Putin and Trump join forces. God help us.
Britons understand viscerally invasion by a fascist dictatorship. They were saved by Hurricane and Spitfire pilots, the remarkable rescue of the BEF from Dunkirk, by Churchill and his resolve. Ukraine is experiencing invasion now. Britain's clarity is borne out of bitter 1st-hand experience.
Can you imagine disrupting European peace, with all that Europe has been through during the World Wars? Can you even imagine what it would do to Europeans' feeling for Americans if it ever came to that?
It’s clear that Western Europeans view Donald Trump as a significant threat to peace and security, with many considering his policies unpredictable and destabilizing. His stance on NATO, relations with Russia, and disregard for European allies fuel these concerns.
Europe needs to close the American bases, impound the equipment, and deport the American soldiers, unless Trump declares war, then hold the soldiers as POWs
And at the same time, as in so many other cases, the UK government not only lags far behind its own citizens on this, it also lags far behind the governments of EU member states (bar a handful like Hungary).
It's very simple, really. One way or another they have experienced Russia's imperialism and they know the danger thereof. We here, in our "safety", have not the slightest idea of what and who Russia really is.
Also,the US has never had a land invasion, never had to evacuate their children from the cities, never experienced the terror of sustained bombing Europeans did, so the images of destruction from Ukraine don't resonate with them as they do here.
I think Italy needs to step it up :p. Just kidding. But it's starting to appear as if the American's left with a brain want to survive, we can only hope that the rest of the world understands that this wasn't a mandate, because at least half of America did NOT vote for him - yet there he is.
BOOT US from NATO till TRUMP removed and put in UKRAINE.. do it NATO.. fuck TRUMP and PUTIN.. THE RESISTANCE.. Americans for democracy and world order.. yup left.. but understand world order...
Don’t forget English is not the first language of the other countries so they don’t see anywhere near as much of the craziness out of the US. That explains some of the lower scores seen.
From what I've observed, most of the translations have been very forgiving. Understanding it firsthand really does reveal the Idiocracy and weakness on another level.
Very true, but they just don’t see as much of it on social media because there is plenty of other language content.
I see it with my wife ( French). on her timeline there is nowhere near as much Magat infection.
You got to love British people. I spent there 6 months and of course, they know how to be weird too, but in the critical moment, they are always sane enough to see obvious truth.
That's a stretch. France is 69 to 22 seing Trump as a major threat, no way you reverse those numbers, despite the ongoing propaganda by Bolloré.
Though of course I'd like more clarity in my countrymen...
exactly, the ambiguity in the 22 is more likely to change than anything, particularly given Trumps blatanty obvious alliance with Putin now.
If anything that 22 will shrink to mirror the peoples feelings around Putin as understanding spreads. . . I REALLY hope so anyway!!

There are none so blind as they who will not see!
Resist

They're not yet a year in and these are the current predictions (Reform UK first party). Don't be complacent...

The best I'm hoping for personally is a Labour SNP coalition
Sadiq Khan has been elected for three consecutive terms now.
All aberrations?
1 gear forward
5 for reverse
Now can we rethink relationship with EU?

That is very bad.
Now people just need to properly make the connection between Reform UK and Trumpism

Great young reporter living in Ukraine.

However, look at the uniform he wore this week on HMS PoW.
She’s in U.K waters but if you bother to look closely you’ll notice something.
This is the rapist's first post after he accidently exposed his alignment with Putin.
His #MAGAt army and the media are fulfilling his request.
The REAL news is that the rapist has moved the US to align with Putin!
Just sayin'
And again last year to throw him out when the Tories were so awful
Thanks leavers
Now show me the democratic accountability for Ursula VDL or the European Commissioners
Ronald Reagan on December 3, 1987: “The United States, as the most powerful of the free nations, is looked to for leadership by those who live in freedom and as a mighty source of hope to those who languish under tyranny.”
2025:
If only there were a way that relationship could be formalised. If only…
You can fool enough of the people enough of the time.
#Trump #Europe #Geopolitics
They're probably an even greater threat to the people of the USA.
Once upon a time you KNEW who the bad guys were, but now here in Britain it's impossible to be certain that your greatest ally, has your back.
Until now.
Code Red 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Trump will isolate and crash the US
Fuck trump.
Deploying a nerve agent & radioactive material in the Country…not cool.
