The Westminster government’s “special relationship” with the US was
again demonstrated last week as that of a lapdog obeying its master
while hoping for a few crumbs from the table.
Specifically, on June 9 the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)
revealed that the secret Venezuela Reconstruction Unit had not only had
contact with Juan Guaido, the self-declared “interim president” of Venezuela and failed coup leader, and his representative in London but
had also visited Venezuela and met other Venezuelans.
The admission became public through a response to a parliamentary
question tabled by Richard Burgon MP.
Commenting on the FCO’s revelation, Richard tweeted: “Very concerning response from the Foreign Office about this special unit on Venezuela.
“Our government appears to be more interested in siding with Trump’s
regime change plans than in any attempt to encourage dialogue and
constructive engagement.”
The FCO’s official answer to the parliamentary question also claimed
that “the UK ambassador ensured the regime were aware of the visit and
spoke publicly about the unit and its staff.”
