The news this week comes from across the pond and all Gin drinkers will be saddened to learn that there will be layoffs among the Beefeater guards who attend to the Tower of London. Tourism is down and a voluntary layoff program is in force.
The British Open Golf Tournament is under the auspices of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews founded in the eighteenth century. The site each year is chosen from a pool of ten courses in Scotland, England and Northern Ireland. Now comes one Donald J. Trump, a carpetbagger from the colonies, and the owner of several of these links courses, attempting to lobby for selection of his Turnberry facility and using our Ambassador to the Court of St. James for this effort.
The dictionary defines "crass" as lacking in sensitivity, refinement or intelligence. BTW our current ambassador is the owner of the N.Y. Jets football team, hardly a diplomat.
