Britain has deep-sixed Peter Mandelson, its ambassador to Washington, due to his close relationship with sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson not only called Epstein a dear friend, but counseled him after the sleazy criminal was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor. The question is, why in the hell did Prime Minister Stammer in the first place appoint Mandelson?
who twice before had to resign positions due to ethical violations. Maybe he thought it was a perfect fit for Trump world. Now the UK has sent some terrific ambassadors to Washington, Peter Westmacott and Dame Karen Pierce most recently. Stammer has enough problems at home. He doesn't need disreputable ambassadors in important posts.
