Welcome to Blighty President Biden

This is Joe Biden's show. Set in a smallish town in Cornwall the G7 summit will be all about Joe. That's the way it is. It was all about Donald Trump when he was the Big Boss but he scared the hell out of everyone, not physically but because no one knew what the hell he was going to do or say from one day to the next, never mind the previously agreed summit script. Biden will play by the rules I suspect and say all the right things but you can bet your life he will want to put his own stamp on the Cornish summit so that by the time he leaves, all his fellow leaders will be saying, "well well well, this guy knows his stuff". Biden, like all US presidents, has come with an extraordinary array of Secret Service men and women, and armoured cars flown in by C-17 transport aircraft, including the Beast, the president's mighty rocket-proof monster of a limousine. It must be such fun being president of the US of A. The Brits have gone mad as well, bringing in thousands of police from all over the country and all the flunkies and bottlewashers needed for a summit of this magnificence. Plus a Royal Navy frigate and assortment of naval patrol craft out at sea. The poor people of Cornwall won't have seen such an assemblage of uniforms and guns in their life. Biden is a pretty stylish guy and I reckon the people of Cornwall will take to him. The G7 summit mght even be a genuine success. Trump will be glowering wherever he is.
