Donald Trump is proving to be a disaster on the world stage - Yorkshire Post Letters
From: David Quarrie, Holgate, York.
Donald Trump is a disaster, an accident waiting to happen, utterly humiliated by Iran and conned by Israel. The world has gone mad. We have the free world led by the worst President of the United States of America in 80 years. He has only issued one true statement (no woman was ever born with a penis).
China is almost ready to take over as the world' s top super power and we must keep in touch with them. At long last, we have awoken to the threats from Russia. The main objective of Vladimir Putin has been obvious since his days as a junior KGB Officer.
Putin has always admired Joseph Stalin (one of the worlds' worst mass murderers), and Putin has often described the collapse of the USSR as a catastrophe. Putin can only be trusted to be evil.
In the UK trust has almost disappeared. We have no leaders anywhere to respect and look up to in any area. Without a doubt our best folk are the likes of Sir David Attenborough, Sir Kevin Sinfield, Sir Gareth Southgate, Dame Judy Dench, MP Kim Leadbeater, and Catherine the Princess of Wales.
We can have little or no faith in our Church and religious leaders, in lawyers, judges and the British legal system. Scandal follows scandal. Justice is rarely carried out. There is support for the villains but virtually none for the many victims. We have no meaningful deterrents.
Crime is a UK growth industry. Not enough prisons nor police officers. Our priorities are all upside down. I have been fined £100 for travelling at 35mph in a little countryside village at 10-21am alongside their cricket ground, while two patrol men sit in a van at each end of said village, and while BBC investigators find many shops, minimarkets selling counterfeit cigarettes, drugs, vapes, hiring illegal immigrant labour, exploiting youngsters and encouraging violence and sexual abuse of young girls.
We have fantastic staff at the coal face of our NHS but it is badly led, underfunded, and has far too many middle managers.
Our armed forces have been cut and cut for years but our present Government is still willing to spend £4.5bn on new cycle and walk ways! There is no incentive in Britain today to be an honest, hard working, decent tax paying citizen. The idle thrive. Teenage knife crime escalates and no Government anywhere seems prepared to tackle and close down so much of the vile unnecessary social media companies. We get more like America every week, shameful!
