I seem to recall Starmer handing over a written invitation from KCIII in between genuflections.

But did the invitation come at King Charles instigation or at the instigation of the government?

 

AFAIR the king or queen invite anybody they wish for a royal visit. That is the job of whichever government is in power.

And was it King Charles who personally invited Trump, or was it the UK government under Starmer?

 

As I am not privy as to who made that decision, I doubt that you were either, Nor do I believe that King Charles is disliked as much as you claim.

 

The invitation was from King Charles, who, unfortunately, seems to be more and more out of favour with many of his subjects

I wonder if Trump has had some private time with his orgy buddy Andrew to commiserate on their mutual problems. It seems like the perfect occasion to catch up.

 

Moronic comment.

Can we keep him and send Starmer back to Yankland?

An absolute disgrace by the UK government to grant this monster a state visit for the second time especially for the havoc he is creating at home and abroad .

We, Britain and USA need to maintain our historic relationship. trump is a temporary boil to be lanced in time. In the end, he is a sad aberration.

From the link you quote: "This means the latest date for the next general election will be 21 August 2029".

 

The Labour Party currently has a majority of 148 in the House of Commons, so a no-confidence vote has no chance of succeeding. While it is possible that Labour might call an early election in late 2028 if it deems the circumstances favourable, the chances of it doing so before then are minimal.

I actually agree with that.

 

Expectations were low (rather like Thailand's succession) but he seems to have gained greater respect from the public. 

 

The Diana situation, and his relationship with Camilla, will ensure a degree of unpopularity.

Top bloke President Trump!  Unfortunately I just returned from a quick visit to the UK, so I won't be able to cheer him.  Can Trump rid the UK of that oaf Starmer as well?

Jordan Peterson estimated Trump's IQ as "clearly well above average" (likely in the 120–140 range, though he didn't specify an exact number), arguing that anyone who thinks Trump is unintelligent is influenced by partisanship.

 

Jordan Peterson, as a clinical psychologist and former professor at the University of Toronto, is qualified to offer an informed opinion on IQ. He has extensive academic experience in psychology, including research and teaching on intelligence, personality, and psychometrics. His work often references IQ studies (e.g., discussing general intelligence in lectures and books like 12 Rules for Life), and he has engaged with the literature on cognitive abilities, such as the work of psychometricians like Richard Lynn or Robert Sternberg.

You do not get arrested in the UK for supporting Trump (openly or otherwise). That is a fact, not a lie.

 

Oh, you mean that you source your news from places other than "Right-wing conspiracy theories today". My apologies, but in my defence it was an easy mistake to make.

Perhaps Trump is too thin skinned to face the fact that many Brits actually don't like him, and would prefer that he was not invited to the UK.

 

However that is politics for you.

I would estimate, and I stress, estimate, that 99.99% of British people don't care about President Trump one way or the other.  He has no impact on their lives at all, unlike the current bunch in the UK government.  The only people seeming to froth at the mouth are not mad dogs and Englishmen going out in the midday sun, but rather Americans who cannot yet accept that Trump won.

Kelley’s reported statement (via colleague Frank DiPrima) called Trump “dumb” and arrogant, citing his lack of engagement in class and belief he “already knew everything.” This reflects a subjective evaluation based on classroom performance, not a formal IQ assessment.

As a marketing professor, Kelley’s “dumb” comment reflects Trump’s classroom behavior (e.g., arrogance, lack of preparation) rather than a rigorous cognitive evaluation. Wharton’s competitive admissions (top-tier business school) suggest Trump had above-average aptitude, but Kelley’s anecdotal critique doesn’t engage with IQ metrics like Peterson does. It’s a subjective teaching impression, not a psychological diagnosis.

As a marketing expert, Kelley wasn’t trained in psychological or cognitive assessments like IQ. His view likely reflects frustration with Trump’s academic demeanor (e.g., skipping classes, per classmates) rather than a scientific judgment of intelligence. The comment’s secondhand nature (via DiPrima, post-2011) and lack of corroboration from other professors raise questions about its weight.

I salute Trump/Vance for standing up for the human rights of British people in the face of our lying tyrannical leader.

Why is it so difficult to answer those simple questions? 🤣

 

As a "patriot", do you approve these tariffs? Do you agree with Trump's rhetoric that the UK has been abusing the US and that it justifies such punitive tariffs?

I think he's quite aware that several groups in the USA and elsewhere are not exactly doting fans but he will like the invite and show up.

 

Sorry to bear the bad news.
