Kind of like Trump, seems to represent the common folk well.

There’s a big difference between representing common folk and simply blurting out popularist nonsense which they want to hear.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 2:32 pm Kind of like Trump, seems to represent the common folk well.
And which specific policies of Trump’s has he delivered on that makes you say he represents the common people?Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 6:19 pm Giving people the policies they want and speaking to them in their own language.
Jesus, what a load of crap. Where to start? Do you seriously think that many Americans would consider a protest against Trump as an insult to the US servicemen who fought in WW2? That's some stretch. Personally, I don't believe there should be any protest at or during any memorial ceremony but Trump is fair game at any other time he's over here. That's part of the "free, liberal society" we live in last time I checked.Flying Hippo wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 7:00 pm President Trump is visiting the United Kingdom to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D Day. Over 6,600 Americans were killed or wounded on 6 June 1944 and, overall, more than 400,000 Americans died in the Second World War. They actually fought real Nazis and Fascists. Anyone who values - or even simply understands - the importance of a free, liberal society owes an eternal debt of gratitude to the United States.
Sleekit Khan's pronouncements, the BBC's hysterical coverage of the Presidential visit and the tawdry, bitter rants from a temporary alliance of the snarling far-left and the sneering, bien-pensant bourgeois fit the pattern of a political ethos which has become complacent, intellectually spent, exhausted and, ultimately, anti-democratic. Thankfully it is very close to collapse.
Any Americans who might have invested in the UK, or might be seeking to invest there, ought to be appalled at the hypocrisy, spite and bigotry of these habitual ingrates; they are indeed insulting not just the President but those tens of millions of American citizens who elected him - and whose parents and grandparents saved Western Europe firstly from fascism and then from communism. These Americans might even wonder whether bankrolling the pastimes of these indolent, emotionally incontinent blustering Londoners are worth another cent.

Hopefully there will be massive demonstrations against Trump when he's here.
We ignore the rise of the right at our peril & its about time that people like Farage are exposed for what they are & are demonstrated against wherever they go
Spot on, it’s the role that’s offered the state visit not the person.bobo66 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 11:18 am Although Trump is an odious character, he is President of the United States. Surely giving him a state visit is not because he is such a great bloke, but because he is President of our biggest ally. I think that those costing taxpayers millions of money for policing the visit should give a little more respect, not to a horrible creature like Trump but to the President of our greatest ally. Surely with us leaving the EU, we need all the allies we can get.

Why do you think that. I’ve voted Labour more times than any other party and am, as many know, a huge fan of Blair and new Labour. If TB was leader of Labour today it would be a much better party and probably in Downing Street now.
I'd actually agree that it is the role that's invited. However, we also live in a society where we can protest against anything we believe to be wrong. A lot of people disagree with or dislike Trump because of his policies, in his role as President. It's impossible to dissociate the actions of Trump and the US President. They are the same and open to criticism and protest.bobo66 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 11:18 am Although Trump is an odious character, he is President of the United States.

What's that got to do with price butter, If you go to America you'll find out they're more right wing than us and they wouldn't put up with our snowflake sandle wearing anti British far left Uni whallersCreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 10:40 amBut trump is far right.
