You might as well fault the Prime Minister for representing Britain instead of the EU.

Actually this is a good point, as a member of the EU May should clearly advocate EU interests!

Some would argue she already does xD

*EDIT
Forgot a Tory own-goal, twinned with Ameripol; insulting Trump by rescinding his invitation to London. I can appreciate sticking up for your morals but the fact that she's perfectly fine inviting Saudis and Chinese officials but mean tweets crosses the line strikes me as an own-goal thing. In an ironic twist of things, because of the May-Trump feud, despite being the American candidate that supported Brexit, London is going to be the only European capital Trump hasn't visited.
GJ May, bravo

You DO realize that Trump's purpose, as far as he had any purpose at all, was Brexit-as-a-way-to-increase-US-influence (over the UK that is), right? That guy wasnt going to bail you out of problems. He thrives in causing problems as to make himself necessary, rather. He was a poor ally pre brexit and post brexit he's an anglerfish. Stay clear.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

There's really not all that much benefit from buttering up Trump. He's a fair-weather ally at the best of times, and deals with the US go through the Senate anyway. Considering Trump's own problems with Congress and his tendency to be a walking clusterfuck when he's abroad, keeping him away might have been a smart move. Not to mention the nonzero chance that the Scots just fucking riot and burn down his golf courses.

Short answer: Yes
Longer answer: Yeeeeeeees

Without Trump causing problems to make himself necessary, the US-UK relationship is inherently necessary

There is one clear benefit: He is very petty, and to what lengths he will deliberately fuck shit up because someone offended him on twitter is self-demonstrable

[TD1]

The Scots are an inscrutable folk. _{Summons the wild Owlbread.}

As far as British American relations go, it's still not good to actively peeve off the leader of one of the most powerful states in the world. For a tweet. Besides, Trump is (however disliked) an embodiment of America. You are not just denying him access, you are snubbing America - a stance which Congress is hardly going to appreciate.

May is such a twit.

[smjjames]

To be fair, May isn't the one pissing off Trump, it's Trump being pissy while May tries to defend.

Aye, and Trump is completely out of order making fun of our terrorist attacks, but you must understand that when adults and children fight, it's up to the adult to be responsible

[MetalSlimeHunt]

May isn't responsible, she's ruined wheat fields across the nation.

Hardly. Over half the country are delighted the Orange One is getting publicly undercut. He's an embodiment of HIS half of America.

So I told Theresa May to run in a wheat field... And she did it the absolute madman ahahah

Yeah, I read about that when she was asked about the worst or most embarrasing or most rebel thing she did as a teenager, and that was what she gave. Hard to tell if she just gave a Hillary-esque politically safe vanilla answer or if she didn't do anything funny or notable.

Not quite my point. It doesn't matter whether you love him or hate him. On the World Stage, he is the representation of America. Like that or not. Denying a nation's leader access is about more than just denying one man.

Two arrested over foiled plot to assassinate Prime Minister Theresa May

Multiculturalism does, indeed, create a stronger society

Only one guy is actually being charged with that. Gotta wonder whether he planned it alone because it'd have to be done when they know Theresa May is in the building, and possibly where in the building she is, in order to be sure of actually reaching the target.

If he had actually be able to do it, it'd be an intel and security failure of epically colossal proportions.

There is absolutely no information on the guy and you're blaming it on multiculturalism already? I find that stupid.
