The Trump hate Sheeple seem to be much more civilized in the UK than in the U.S. Of course setting up the ANTIFA head bangers in London was not in the budget.

ANTIFA were there, just not wearing black

 

Look forward to the Sadiq Khan balloon and inevitable outrage

You seem to have a problem with people exercising their democratic right to peacefully protest.

 

 

The problem is they seem to be speaking for 99% of people who did not protect and the 70% who support and agree with Trump. Rent a mob big mouths who have demonstrated about real dictators visiting london. These SWP dupes have two main targets.  Israel and America.  They are hypocritical clowns who actually hate their own country

Great Britain needs its own Trump to get that 'Great' back, I'd say. Perhaps a likely candidate could be found among those demonstrators. 

Alternatively how about our Nige .. And he's buddies with DJT .. What could possibly go wrong ..

"The idea that we restrict freedom of speech, the right to assemble, the right to protest because somebody might be offended is a slippery slope," Khan told BBC Radio.

Does this mean we can look forward to the Pig from Pink Floyd's  " Animals " album getting flight clearance again ..

Britain welcomes POTUS not Trump and the silent majority will carry on as if nothing happening and the small, noisy minority will scream "see everyone hates Trump"  for political purposes. 

 

If everything was up to the silent majority, the French Revolution wouldn't have happened.

The UK is a civilised country and respects human rights; even those of criminals. Not to do so would make us as bad as those countries who do not do the same and commit abuses such as separating young children from their parents or carers.

 

But you should do some research; immigrants to the UK, illegal or legal, are entitled to far less in the way of public funds than you and others think.

Where were you all when Turkey's Erdogan visited the UK earlier this year or Saudi Arabia leaders where in London last time (again, earlier this year), who are all way worse than Trump?

There were sizeable demonstrations against both at the time.

The sneering lefties are so hypocritical and intolerant, can you imagine the howls of these monsters if an Obama balloon was flown when he visited London.

"Sneering lefties," "monsters," typical childishness from someone with no real arguments.

 

Would there have been "howls" if there had been protests against Obama and an Obama balloon similar to the Trump one had been flown? Doubtful; we believe in free speech and the right of peaceful protest on this side of the pond.

Well you have a point but the low turnout and the mix, anti-brexiteers, LGBT, socialist fringe groups shows to me, a Brit, that the opposition is minor (but loud-ish).

 

Most of us don't care too much and think the US, at the moment, is setting itself low standards and then failing top achieve them. Trump could be got out by intelligent debate, highlighting the obvious weaknesses not this continual whining.

 

I remember Trump brought up possible interference and Obama told him, publicly, to stop whining it could NOT HAPPEN!

@7by7. Hey sneering lefty...thought that would smoke you out. Coming from someone with almost 20k posts and can only muster under 7k likes from them is funny. Seems your opinion is obviously in the minority.

Once again, I was there marching.  There was a broad mix of people from all walks of life and political persuasion.  Thousands and thousands of them. The figure of 250,000 is questionable but as Sky News (?) reported it was the biggest demonstration for many years.   Of course that was the second march of Friday.   The first was the women's march in the morning with thousands attending that.  And let's not forget the inflatable Trump baby in Parliament Square attracting thousands more although a great many of them were also attending the afternoon demonstration.  There were definitely plenty of lefties there and as always the gay community were being represented, marching beside members of Unison and other trade union members.  It really was a cross section of England and particularly London.

 

The atmosphere was carnival and not angry shouting.  But let's not forget the smaller numbers outside Blenheim Palace on Thursday evening.  All those blue rinse ladies and the Cotswold set in their four by fours.  Or the people who turned out at Windsor, very much the locals by the look of them.  Even Scotland turned out in numbers to "welcome" the Donald.

 

Anyone who thinks this is about left wing activists need to take a reality pill.

That this is the best you can do by way of reply speaks volumes.

 

BTW, well over three quarters of my posts have been offering advice in the Visas and migration to other countries forum, where we and our friends don't routinely 'like' each others posts.

Saturday you have the pro-Trump rally in London.  Permission for this was granted the same way the anti-Trump demonstration were granted, by the London Mayor.  It seems to be pitched as the "Free Tommy Robinson " rally so let's see how good natured that turns out to be.

I doubt it as that EX-power station in Battersea is now a very exclusive HiSo housing complex.

Missed them!  However here is another photograph from the march.  If you look you will see a representative  view of the thousands of marchers.  Take a proper look and you will see the ordinary British people way outnumber the exhibitionists.

What a bunch of leftie goons if you want to protest stay at home or work if you are not on universal credit a bunch of Corbyn muppets Trump will impeach himself by tweet sooner or later. 

A tweet by Trump, who is an imbecile, will not get him impeached.  Nothing will, I'm afraid.  Here is a man who openly says he could shoot someone and he would not lose his base.  And the reason he wouldn't is because his base are uneducated morons, much like Trump, the self-proclaimed "stable genius." Nothing could be farther from the truth, though.  He has said he grabbed p*ssy.  Has had countless women claim they were sexually assaulted by him. 

 

He has colluded with Russians.  He has set up fake negotiations with North Korea.  Yes, crowds actually believed that ridiculous photo op in Singapore was legit, and now yell "Nobel!" at rallies.   

 

Most Americans are so stupid, they swallow the tripe of Fox News when they should spit.  Trump conned The US and now he wants to con the world.  I seem to remember a phrase from a movie, that the greatest trick the devil played was making people believe he didn't exist. I give you the devil: Trump.

Please don't hurt Sir Dude's feelings - he obviously needs to be "liked" as much as the Swamp King.

Nice try trolls...give you that. Guess we are done here then.

Pity the Greenpeace paraglider which flew very close to Turnberry house didn't suffer a fault and crash, I'd love to see local plod & secret service give it the treatment it deserves.

Why do some peeps think “lefty” is a pejorative? I’m proud to be a democratic socialist. ?

Congratulations on writing one of the most unreadable sentences ever to appear on ThaiVisa - it make literally no sense.

Since you have now twice, at least, proven yourself to be incapable of coming up with anything even remotely approaching an intelligent argument to support your opinion; I can agree with you; we are done.

Do you truly not know the answer to that rhetorical question or are you pretending to be unaware that he is a mentally ill person in dire need of involuntary psychiatric confinement?

 

Or do you share the same level of mental impairment this so-called president seems to be afflicted with?

meanwhile the other 60  million  carried on with their lives

I know six people who took part in this peaceful demonstration.
 
They've all got jobs and all earn considerably above the amount where they might need to rely on welfare. 
 
I wonder if the same can be said of those accusing the protesters of being jobless or welfare scroungers?
Yes of course you do.we all believe him dont we boys and girls?
