Well Trump has been invited by those at Buckingham Palace to come to Britain for an official state visit. So we can all forget about Brexit, and stop wringing our hands in dismay at Farage and his antics, and we can turn our attention towards a new fashion, hating Trump.

Discuss.

the streets lined with no-one
That makes no sense.

Someone on twitter proposed a compromiseover Trump’s visit, which I thought was a splendid idea.

Get Chris Grayling to organise it.

And Prince Phillip to drive me from the airport ;)

jura2 Wed 24-Apr-19 11:51:40

ooops drive HIM

The man makes my skin crawl! Even just seeing a picture of him makes me shudder.

I do not listen to him and switch channels or off if he comes on.

I am so glad I am out of the country in June when he is here.

I presume you are for Brexit and are a fan of Trump going on what you said? Correct me please if this isnt true.

I think Prince Philip should take DT on a nice drive on some country roads. grin

Annodomini thank you for posting that link. I live in the affected area and DT is generally loathed round here. To see Alec Salmond toadying up to him was disgusting.

What’s your point in your last comment?

Get Chris Grayling to organise it gringrin

You cannot, in this day and age, equate dignity to Politics. Populist leadership is a rebuff of the old political order. Ukraine now is led by a comedian; The USofA by a game show host so look forward to Corbyn standing outside 10 Downing St.. This is all just modern life.

Anja Wed 24-Apr-19 12:29:44

Brilliant ideas! Between Grayling and Prince P that should do the trick.

Gaggi3 Wed 24-Apr-19 12:32:42

Great idea, Jane10, as I think he wouldn't enjoy seeing more mature rear ends, he prefers young ones. grin

Mycatisahacker Wed 24-Apr-19 12:32:45

ukraine is run by a comedian

Well to be fair we have May and Corbyn so very similar

Anja Wed 24-Apr-19 12:33:41

Corbyn doesn’t run anything......yet.

Jane10 Wed 24-Apr-19 12:37:46

Just off to M&S for quick release pants for ease of mooning! grin

Trump has recently ramped up sanctions with Iran by removing a waiver that India had to buy oil from them (not sure how the US has that right) and is itching for his own war especially now that his intervention with Venezuela has not gone as he expected.
It is not a good time to issue an invitation. Now that we have though, we can't pretend that we don't meet worse people. I think that he should be ignored so far as possible.

Mycatisahacker Wed 24-Apr-19 12:59:37

Corbyn has never run anything in his life apart from the utter mess he’s making running labour.

TM is equally inept at running her party

Please ask the staff to help you with your search and report back their reaction! grin

GabriellaG54 Jesus woman do you really never have anything else to do than put people down? Your comments are continually derogatory.

Houseseller Wed 24-Apr-19 13:30:17

I think people are forgetting that Trump represents one of the most powerful counties in the world and he actually seems to like us Brits unlike most of Europe. He should be welcomed as the leader of the USA and given the respect his office deserves as one of our most important Allies

SueDonim Wed 24-Apr-19 13:35:47

Quick release pants, Jane10, complete with ripcord! grin

Actually I thought your comment made perfect visual sense and would be far better than screaming mobs.

Mycatisahacker Wed 24-Apr-19 13:38:53

She corrects spellings too!

That type wink

ReadyMeals Wed 24-Apr-19 13:44:13

Well, as a person he's not someone I'd have as a friend, I must say. However, I don't think anyone has satisfactorily demonstrated he's not fit to rule a democratic country? The comment about where to grab women is unfortunate when said out loud and recorded in the media, but he wouldn't be the first powerful person whose attitude towards his sex life left something to be desired morally.

missdeke Wed 24-Apr-19 13:45:35

Mycatisahacker Thanks for that, I thought I was the only one to notice. grin

kittylester Wed 24-Apr-19 13:47:16

Who corrects spelling mycat?

What type?

Who are we talking about?

Spent a fruitless session at the computer earlier today, trying to find how to sign a petition of protest.
Not a luxury available to me it seems as I neither use "Twitbook" nor do I wish to. Any ideas, Grans, please?
