YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn a clip from today's podcast, Ed and Seán unpack Donald Trump’s comments at the United Nations General Assembly, in which he claimed that London “wants to go to Sharia Law.” Delivered on the world stage in front of global leaders, Trump’s remarks left diplomats bewildered, but should they spark outrage in the UK?
Ed and Seán reflect on just how inappropriate it is for an American president to spread racially charged tropes about London and its Muslim mayor at the UN. They discuss the absurdity of Trump's claims, and the absurdity of Nigel Farage’s support for them because of one taxi driver.
What makes the timing of Trump’s attack even more striking is that it came so soon after his state visit to the UK, where Keir Starmer laid on the full pomp and pageantry. The pair explore the contradiction: Trump saying he “likes” the British prime minister while in the same breath accusing him of presiding over a Sharia-run London.
