Donald Trump Jr criticised after ridiculing Mayor of London hours after Westminster attack
Source: Telegraph
Pesident Donald Trumps son has ridiculed the Mayor of London, hours after Wednesdays suspected terrorist attack. Donald Trump Jr retweeted a September interview with Sadiq Khan, in which he said that readiness for a terrorist attack was part and parcel of living in a great global city.
Mr Trump Jr tweeted a link to the article, commenting in disgust: You have to be kidding me?! Terror attacks are part of living in the big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
On social media it was pointed out that Mr Khan did not say that attacks were to be expected, but rather that the threat of them was part of life.

I'm guessing the Trump/UK awkwardness isn't ending anytime soon.

That wasn't hard, was it?
Seriously, there is no requirement that you read tweets.

(10,291 posts)Being ready for a terror attack is part and parcel of living in a major urban area.
London (and the rest of the UK, Northern Ireland particularly so) has had many decades of experience with this. I don't need to start listing them all here.
Actually, being ready for some form of "terror attack" should be part and parcel of any emergency services training - from law enforcement, fire and rescue, and paramedic services. It can happen to anyone, anywhere. Obviously the scale for devastation is bigger in a big urban area, but even St. John Ambulance - a voluntary ambulance brigade in England & Wales - have regular disaster training so that if there was a major event the volunteers can go help the professionals.
If anything, it shows a lack of understanding on Donald Jr's part of the value that the civilian emergency services provide.

Go fuck yourself. As a Londoner who lived through the IRA, anti gay nail bombings and 7/7, this is not the time to be cock.
