Pity poor America: at least Brits can change their leader

Watching the Conservative leadership race from across the sea in America has left me both hopeful and envious. Hopeful that the Tories will select a leader who will steer Britain to a better, stronger place, and exhibit responsible global leadership to offset the void left and damage done by our catastrophe-in chief, Joe Biden. In the same breath I am envious that Britain, unlike America, has this chance to correct its course.

Whether Boris’s fall was deserved has been beaten to death in the British press, so this Yank won’t presume to intrude other than to say he had me at ‘I will deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat Jeremy Corbyn.’ Biden, on the other hand is going nowhere for now. His deficiencies have cratered America’s fortunes in less than two years and with his unlimited errors, gaffes, and catastrophic miscalculations, he should not be allowed to continue to wreak destruction.
