Did you see this? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54892505 "UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has congratulated Joe Biden on his US election win. Mr Biden called the PM ahead of the leaders of other major European countries." AFAIK Macron was his first European call. Boris wasn’t til long into the next day after the AP called it. Certainly France and Ireland were before the UK. Edited November 25, 2020 by carpetmonster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I'm sure there will be state department protocols for that sort of thing. UK and Israel amongst the first to get a call; France, Germany, Japan and Canada amongst the second lot etc. Probably something about the Department of Defence being on the Russia and China calls. Given Biden's background, presumably Ireland and the Vatican were high on the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, no doubt, acording to the BBC, Estonia, Luxembourg and Andorra are "major". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've spent this year watching the tories corruptly give public money to their pals and relatives with a big grin in broad daylight, they will absolutely see this as a test run for the post brexit UK, where they'll do the same in the name of are country. I suspect we haven't seen anything yet. I think the UK has been displaying, for a while now, traits more commonly associated with the parts of the world we have been conditioned to laugh at/pity - due to their corruption and poor governance. It's being done in plain sight, and hardly anyone gives a shit anymore. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 If you read any of the English local/regional papers online you get often the views of Tory backbencher, they are right behind Brexit. I wonder how quickly that will change with No Deal. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
