We will have to agree to disagree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The Independent's poll analysis. The BMG survey for The Independent showed more people thinking it was wrong to invite him to Britain, supporting protests against him and thinking Theresa May should be more critical of her opposite number. But it also revealed a pragmatic streak in public opinion, with more people thinking the UK should make “every effort” to oblige the US leader and believing a quick trade deal is possible after Brexit. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/trump-uk-visit-protests-negative-reception-bmg-theresa-may-queen-a8436856.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me remind you of what you wrote: " Your opinion only. Trump was elected because most reasonable people are fed up with the pc liberals deciding the minority win and the majority lose" Unless by reasonable people you mean electors. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not Britain's problem and we don't care apart from a few loonies. We welcome POTUS, duly and legally elected, not the individual. An opinion is something that is formed on a rational view of evidence available. It would appear that you don't have one. Bear in mind too that one of the pillars of democracy is the right to express opinions on anything you like. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is no poster here speaks for the British public and to tout nonsense like 'he's not welcome' when you mean 'I don't welcome him'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ‘feel’ the majority of the British public don’t care about Trump or his history. They would have more pressing concerns that are a lot ‘nearer to home’ and their everyday lives, but that’s just my opinion without any research (other than having lived there for 50 years.)

You clearly don’t understand that public protest and activism are central to healthy democracy. (Show me a dictatorship that allows protests or indeed people to freely congratulate or freely express their opinions). It is also very clear you don’t understand the British sense of humour. The demonstration and the Trump Baby Balloon are clear signs that British democracy thrives. Trump should feel deeply honoured that he’s being treated to such a fine display of British democracy wrapped in the famed British sense of humour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally snuggling up with the Slovak piece in a private residency in central London. Sounds lovely! Experiencing grassroots England . I will assume he wont be visiting the slums and cities of Northern England. No US President has visited the slums and cities of Northern England ever. Jimmy Carter's visit to Newcastle was associated with the G7 and Nato ministers conference. Bill Clinton's visit to Birmingham was for the G8 meetings. Neither President went outside secure areas to mingle. When the UK PM visits the USA, the PM doesn't go for tea in Compton, or a bagel in the Bronx.

Not unreasonable, as he is coming to meet with the PM and other officials. It makes sense to stay away from London. When a country hosts a major VIP or a G7 meeting, locals are terribly inconvenienced with road closures and no go zones. In a big city, it is killer. Trump is doing the people a London a favour by not going there. London doesn't need the disruption. Anyway, I was wondering who Trump was going to hang out with. Here's who I think might show up; Gussie Fink-Nottle, Freddie Widgeon, Cyril Fotheringay-Phipps, Tuppy Glossop, and Claude Potter-Pirbright. I wonder if he will have time for a Drones Club meal.
