Again Damien, he didn't just make a public speech. He made a direct threat. I cannot believe you are fine with a leader of another country, allied or not, to come to our country and threaten the people in to voting a certain way or else. That is not and never is ok.

Just imagine an American President telling people how he thinks they should vote in a certain way...
Trump before the last election...

When you are the president of the United States you have great relationships with many of the leaders, including Boris, he's a fantastic man, and I think he's the exact right guy for the times.

Trump took a swipe at the Labour leader, saying, "Corbyn would be so bad for your country, he'd be so bad, he'd take you on such a bad way. He'd take you into such bad places."

Or a Presidential candidate showed support for one side in a U.K. vote
