Stop Trump State Visit

[EDDIE51]

For anyone interested here is a link to sign the petition to stop Trump's visit to the UK from being classed as an official state visit
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/171928/
I'm not stupid enough to imagine it will do any good but with over 1.1 million signatures so far it may make the government realise how unpopular it is.
( plus it will pi*** Off Trump which has to be a good idea!)

With the number of protests in the UK (and all over the world) about Trump I think the government will postpone any visit until the situation calms down a bit.( 2 years say?) They can blame 'security problems' for the delay.

I cant help but notice that, whilst looking online (not just here) and scanning the press, how the legions who are in the main anti Royalty and would abolish the monarchy in an instant, are all now firmly committed to saving Her Majesty from the embarrassment of meeting trump.. Haha embarrassed on behalf of our Queen, if it suits their purpose of course. The twisted malevolence from the left reaches a new height. Remember, all the new and exciting tactics that have been employed since Brexit and now after the Trump victory, wont go away if, and when, the lefties wrestle control of policy back. Pandora's box is opened once and for all, the same peevish and hateful methods are liable to be around for ever.

He was in post for 8 days , just how desperate is Mrs. May for ' friends"' ?

Tambo, Trump has just unilaterally canceled the Trans Pacific trade deal, which he previously hailed as a 'good thing for American workers'
what is to stop him doing the same with a UK trade deal?

Yes, very creepy left nonsense going on

[EDDIE51]

anneasquith That is exactly the point, NO other US president has been invited to a state visit until at least 2 years into their term!
Why such a rush for Trump ?

//Trump has just unilaterally canceled the Trans Pacific trade deal, which he previously hailed as a 'good thing for American workers' //

he may have signed the executive order formalizing the withdrawal from TPP but since Congress never ratified TPP, trump's move is nothing more than symbolic. it certainly wasn't trump acting on his own, any more than he acted alone in the "travel ban", which was actually enacting legislation (Terrorist Travel Prevention Act 2015) laid by the Obama administration.

Signed Order. Trump has correctly called the Euro the Deutschmark in disguise, set up to benefit Germany and as a cloak to benefit Germany at every other European Nation's expense. He aint that stooped is he. :)) Mrs Murkhell must be having an attack of the vapours.

Did you know that Obama blocked refugees from Iraq for 6 months in 2011? No protests or hand wringing then though.

[anneasquith]

Yes, very odd no self-aggrandising about that.
