Surely they were leaked if such as you can read them?

No-one has said it was Kim himself that is responsible for the leaked documents, but he must surely know who had access to same and investigated. Instead, we heard not a peep from him. Why not?

Once upon a time, our Civil Servants were the most highly respected group in the world. Never seen nor heard, but the backbone of any party in government. NEVER once, were there any such thing as document leakage.

Nowadays, they not only believe they can do, say and act how they want, they actually believe it is they, and not any government cabinet running the country.

It is about time they were put back into their box and made known that they can be sacked for the slightest wrongdoing
They have become much too big for their own boots..

Interesting that no one actually disputes what he said about Trump.

Re: Kim Darroch out

Telegraph is saying, today, that some newspaper will reveal more leaked nasties this coming weekend.

Some of it about Boris.

Beginning to sharpen focus as a Remainer campaign.

Wipe out UK/US relations and kill a possible trade deal?

Looks like a plan!

I've just taken the liberty of asking my MP if this prevails in the UK.

Small wonder that the papers get the info!

We see them all in those political TV Dramas!

But his still went ahead, arrogantly, and risked our relationships with the US (and others).

Can't wait for the political tit for tats to get under way.
They say he thinks rather highly of himself, so perhaps he thinks what you set out in the first part of your post Ted doesn"t apply to him
