Trump's intervention was a typical bull-in-a-china-shop effort which broke that protocol. I suspect it was very unwelcome to Johnson, although not perhaps to Farage's ego.
To be fair, it wasn't a precedent. Obama was just as guilty with his - Cameron prompted - "back of the queue" intervention during the referendum campaign. There was of course a lot of that sort of thing going on at the time but on the whole, like a pedo Uncle, it gets little mention. Apart from things like NHS buses and 70 million Turks that is. Which - certainly in my case - had absolutely no impact at all upon any opinions held.
thats total bull crap and you know it.
when obama spoke he just explained the situation what wil lhappen if uk were out of the eu and trying to get a free trade deal with the usa. back of the que is what he said. worst was said by pallosi who said that if we leave without a deal there will be no trade deal with the usa especially if the ni status is threatened in anyway. i feel dorry for you if you think that was political inetreference. to see what political interference is just look at what trump has said.
jc is bad he said and he will take the uk into bad places. that is just about the mental age lavel of 2. what is really hyprocritical was nige claiming that what obama said was political interference and yet allowed trump on his show to do such a thing with no problem at all.
nige is an asshole, so is trump so is manchild and every brexshithead on this forum too. you are all full of shit.
