@MajorRage Bizarre, I wonder if its in relation somehow to his earlier incredibly disparaging comments about him. Maybe a little nervous there. I do wonder if Trump is at all the forgiving type, I'd hope he is because Boris certainly isn't alone about making comments about him pre-election.
I wonder if Farage might get a chat.

Anyone not prepared to meet Trump is a fucking idiot.
That's why it's called International Diplomacy.
You don't have to agree with his views.
Be polite, be respectful, be there.
Then after hearing what he has to say make a private and/or public decision / statement.

@Rembrandt There is also a large blimp in the shape of a Trump baby. It is ridiculously childish.

This is just plain embarrassing.
The US president has come to pay homage on the 75th anniversary of D-Day..and this is how Londoners react.
Cleese is 100% correct sadly.
Protesting is an important part of UK democracy. Whichever side you lean towards, the other side has a right to a non-violent protest.
The people that do this are following their right, and we must respect that. We don't have to agree with it, and are welcome to post opposing views that they look immature, pathetic and embarrassing.
These guys are only making themselves look fucking stupid. And that starts with Khan and ends with Corbyn.

Londoners?
I'm not embarrassed. It's pretty dumb and childish, but ummm...don't suppose you've ever read Trumps tweets?
-
@Bones Ha yep embarrassing enough and had media & opposition focused on those rather than go full-blown delusion syndrome then we might not have him as sitting president.
There are some good protest signs I see. "Feed him to the corgi's" I like as too the Father Ted classic "Careful Now".
Hammer & Sickle flags flying along with Euro flags. I think they might be accidentally making a brexit argument
I do love protesters. I know a couple guys who plan to be doing interviews at it today so might be some excellent footage coming through. Last years one had some absolute pearlers.

Fake Tweets.
BTW Trump would actually have struggled to see any protests. He did drive past very briefly but wouldn't have been looking in that direction (if he didn't want to)
Basically everywhere he has moved during the visit has been vacated. He is jumping from Winfield House to Whitehall/Palace via Marine 1. then is in an emptied out zone right down the Mall and alongside the parade grounds.
He must think London is a very quiet place and the reports of tourist overload are fake as well. -

Hard to tell with the way Trump counts crowds.
No one is claiming a huge turnout but to say that the reporting of thousands is fake news is what is expected as par from the truth bender unless he has alternate facts.

On a similar note, but not photoshopped (I think) Matt Hancock launching his leadership bid

Nothing to see here , move along according to the bbc
The double standards are so blatant.
Scottish comedian's Pug doing a sieg heil = serious Nazi recruitment
Lefty comedian suggesting protesters use battery acid rather than milkshakes = obviously a jokeI can't believe people in the UK still pay their TV license for this trash.

C'mon MR. The whole point is that Brand was defended on the grounds of free speech and it being a joke. When did the BBC or anyone now defending Brand give Dankula the same benefit of the doubt? It's a blatant double standard.

C'mon RS. Your now moving the point.
The criticism of BBC was clear. "I can't believe people in the UK still pay their TV license for this trash". Yet, the BBC are doing what Rembrandt wants aren't they?
There is a double standard yes. But is it by the BBC? Where did BBC release an official statement on Dankula? Did Dankula do his "comedy" act on the BBC?

@MajorRage key part in bold.
Also on the topic of Jock. He's due to get married this week, 3 days out from the wedding a few people invited pulled out....coincidentally the couple then received contact from a 'JOurNaliST' who wants to write a (hit)piece on it. After everything this couple has been through the last 2 years I'm starting to think people in media are no longer human.
Dank's response for comment was pretty good though.
