Iran and Trump

I struggle to understand this kind of thing too.

I think many virtue signallers of today do it for egotistical self gratification rather than for any true meaningful reason. Their global understanding of culture and humanity is superficial at best and often tends to only invoke outrage if it is within their own personal perspective and conforms to the 'sheeple' mentality.

Couldn't agree more!

A protest about the lashes should be made through diplomatic channels. Although barbaric it is the law of their country, and I doubt if many in Iran would even hear of any foreign protest.
The protesters about Trump have a whole list of grievances about his behaviour in America, which again is their country. They won't even be seen by the President.
Look how annoyed we are about his comments yesterday about our government.
The American Ambassador to Britain should be summoned to the Home Office to receive a reprimand about his behaviour.
But he won't be, if the oleaginous Alan Duncan's interview this morning on the Today programme is any thing to go by.

I totally agree with you maddyone ! Trump is the pantomime villain for a lot of people, many of whom probably don’t even know what it is he has/hasn’t done they are just jumping on the protesting bandwagon.

His Comments about the rise in knife crime in the capital are true though . However much we don’t like him .

Maddy there are protests in Britain about Trump because he happens to be here!

When the Chinese president visited there were many protests. Rest assured if the president of Iran were here there would be very loud protests.
