Barack Obama: UK ‘at back of queue’ for trade post-Brexit - The Scotsman

The London mayor also became embroiled in controversy for referring to Mr Obama’s “part-Kenyan ancestry in an article for a tabloid newspaper which suggested he may have an “ancestral dislike of the British Empire due to his heritage.


Ukip leader Nigel Farage later agreed, insisting that “because of his grandfather and Kenya and colonialisation, I think Obama has a bit of a grudge against this country.


you have to laugh nothing like a rational debate on all the issues.

Obama didn't even know his grandfather or especially his own father. Met him only once I believe. London's mayor, and Farage, are racists. I had read this about the mayor yesterday. Disgusting, and what's worse, STUPID.

Public schoolboys trying to be funny. Boris seemslikely to be the next tory leader. None of our political parties are any more than the means by which apparatchiks climb to the top.
