Anti Trump demo, Edinburgh. Picture, Adam Ramsay.
Theresa the Appeaser, as Mike Gapes MP memorably labelled her, has had to work overtime to square the circle between her fawning to Donald Trump and the evident distaste of most British people for the new President and his policies. Theresa May is not, after all, a Leader, but a Follower, not only of Trump but of the narrow majority of referendum voters (17 million to 16 million) who supported Brexit. (Before that, as a nominal but silent Remainer, she was following David Cameron, who she presumably expected to win the referendum and on whom she would therefore rely for her continued presence in government.)
