I am not saying ban protests and you bloody well know that - I am on about using protests to insult in a childish way that is what I am on about.

Doing stuff like this really puts the UK to shame.

Protests, silly or not, are democratic so long as they're not violent. Banning them would be undemocratic. You don't have to agree with them, and you're allowed to criticise them, without having to want them banned.

Aside from that issue Trump has put tariffs on our businesses, retweeted Britain First and had a go at the NHS so I am not sure why he is allowed to insult us but we must be deferential to him.

Again, it's nothing to do with banning stuff, not allowing stuff to be said but it's not very diplomatic, it's damn right embarrassing and it is misrepresenting many in the UK who DO NOT agree with this pathetic protest, given there is now a counter movement to have a baby Sadiq Khan as well.

I and many millions of people here in the UK - have had a go at our NHS - it's in shockingly bad state. So why take offense when a foreign leader is critical of it?

Wow, Sadiq baby crowd funding now almost at it's target of £10,000...

Here is just a flavour of some of the funders comments:

While I find it embarrassing for Britain, I support free speech, the Mayor better do the same, even when it's about him.

I support freedom of expression. Turnabout is fair play.

Now we can see if Mr Khan does truly believe in freedom of speech, and refocus his attention on trying to stop London becoming a shithole all in one!

Ok then that's fine but you originally said it was undemocratic which is what I was objecting too.

Well it's also not very diplomatic for a foreign leader to criticise an ally like that and most people would disagree that the NHS is 'not working', it is, just not as well as many of us would like. He loves using the UK as an example of 'how bad things can be' as he did with those Britain First videos and when he said hospitals were like a war zone.

Trump has made it quite clear, repeatedly, what he thinks of us. That's fine. However it is hardly going to endear us to him is it?

No surprises here but Trump won't be in central London during his visit:

He won't be at Buckingham Palace, No 10 or The Guildhall.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 
Diplomacy beats childish school ground politics and ridiculous protests any day.

But I still want that baby Khan up in the Sky too, because London is a crime ridden mess under it's current worse Mayoral leadership ever.

I see the crowdfunding page has now exceeded it's initial target of £10,000 and is currently at £17,492 for the Sadiq baby Blimp over London.

That's the thing is not, the trump baby is a caricature of trump complete with tiny hands and orange skin, when has khan ever been called a baby? He'll not only approve the Sadiq baby balloon he'll probably turn up on the day it's launched and then a lot of people will be saying what a great guy Sadiq is poking fun at himself, if the organisers of this wanted to make a proper statement they should've campaigned to launch the Sadiq grim reaper blimp, let's see him approve that or try and make political capital out of it.

No it’s not, it’s relevant. I see you’re being the usual hypocrite by having no issue to allowing one protest to exist and not the counter one. That is what is pathetic!

I see you are bringing up the pathetic tiny hands argument again. Trump does not have tiny hands FFS!

Actually they brought it up by giving the blimp tiny hands, try and keep up, good to see in your rush to criticise and name call you ignored the salient point that the Sadiq baby will help khan not hinder, he might even ride on it to re-election

Are you joking? LMFAO.

Sadiq Khan brings London to a shithole, soaring knife and gun crime, all under his watch, he is a disaster, worst London Mayor ever!

Damien 06-07-2018 18:02

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 
Kahn has brushed off a lot worse insults than the blimp, I would be surprised if he’s that bothered.

As for London ‘being a shithole’. It isn’t. It’s one of the greatest cities in the world and something to be proud off. It doesn’t surprise me some are joining in with Americans who’ve never been here is slagging it off.

I would point out that crime has gone up but over several years it’s still going down. Crime was much higher than 10 years ago and compared to other major cities it’s quite safe. If crime continues to raise Kahn will likely suffer the electoral consequences but people have misjudged how Londoners react to people slagging off their city.

Mick 06-07-2018 18:06

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 
You might be proud of it, I’m not, I think it is an utter crime ridden mess. It is also inside its own little bubble, compared to rest of U.K. but as I said Khan has been a disaster for London.
