Donald T'rump state visit thread

[Pickman's model]

"small hands"?

Yes. Small hands.

 

[J Ed]

It'd be good if the response was an angry but clear signal along the lines of - "Dont' sell the NHS to this twat's mates"

Rather than confused squabble about who is more oppressed by his existence or anything counterproductive like that.

Most profoundly depressing thing written on here in a while mostly because it is so true.

 

[bluescreen]

Sure, but "May is selling out the NHS to Trump's mates to get a slightly less shitty trade deal" seems like a pretty clear story that many people can relate to and one that'd make an excellent core narrative around his visit.

Hands off the NHS!

Finally, There's Proof That Donald Trump Has Small Hands | The Huffington Post

They don't hold back on that page:

Editor’s note: Donald Trump is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist, birther and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.

With the prospect of having to host Trump at a state banquet, I bet the Queen wishes she had died over the Christmas Holidays.

I don't think she'll be too bothered - Trump's an elderly billionaire who was born into a life of privilege, so she'll probably be able to relate to him better than she can to 99% of British people.

So, at a time when social care is in crisis, one million emergency food rations are given out a year, where millions are on ZHC and people are persecuted and some have died as a consequence of the brutal welfare reform, civil society/the left/liberal left will focus all its energies(as it did in Bush's time, etc) on protesting against some one(however abhorrent) they can do little about, respond to, etc*. There is already the 'huge anti-brexit march in march, organised by a guy who has never been involved in politics before, when will basic issues get the priority they merit.

*you can bet the steering committee is being set up as we post.

Those of us with reasonable long memories will recall the mayhem of George W Bush's visit some years ago.

I remember the GWB visit. One of our contingent made a life sized effigy which we all took turns in carrying. He was a heavy fucker so we ended up chucking him in the river. We watched from a bridge as the Police boat sped to his rescue...

 

[pesh]

my lasting memory is of oversized pretzels as far as the eye could see.

Me and my workmates are gonna be working up Aberdeen later this year, we are gonna hoolie up his golf course with our crossers.

 

[NoXion]

crossbows and cutlasses at the ready lads!

seriously if this cunt wants to come visit I'll break open my piggy bank to go and shout abuse at him. I'm not hanging arond for speeches tho, thats the rule, never hang around for the speeches

It's muskets you use to repel boarders, not crossbows. Sea air is too damaging to the strings.

of course! Hadn't thought of that. I'd ruled out recurve or standard longbows on the grounds of being too unweildy and anyway who needs ranged accuracy on a pitching deck.

Forwards musketeers!

Looking good for this, innit?

I'm cancelling my Netflix for the month Trump visits the UK - the News will have more entertainment than I'll be able to deal with.

Wonder at what point it'll be closed down?

Be great to see it go through the half a mill mark and be widely reported!

There must be Scope for a bit of rabble rousing aimed at Daily Mail types with a 'don't let this molester near our precious Royal Family' campaign.
