Trump State visit

I feel sorry for the Queen.

Sorry BC, but what Abbs said. There was a joke?

I agree though Stix - poor Queen. Though she must be an expert at this, having hosted her  fair share of loons and buffoons.

Dude, I could see that you were making a Queen/Queen joke, it just didn’t really work in the context of the State visit in my opinion.

Not finding something amusing isn’t the same as not seeing what you’re trying to do...

The Queen should arrange to be busy that day. 

I also feel sorry for Portsmouth having trump hi-jack their event. 

Why are we indulging this fvcker.  (Yes, I know tmpm in one of her infamous terrible decisions said he could have a state visit, but still.  Plenty of grounds for cancelling it now.) 

I really don't get this.

Trump is a chump, etc etc.

But he's also the democratically-elected leader of (so we are told) our greatest ally and, in any event, a country like many other countries whose leaders we host (and some others whose leaders we host who are definitely not democratically-elected).

WTF is the problem with the Queen hosting him and giving him a State visit? Like she periodically does for numerous other leaders from around the world who are arguably much, much more heinous leaders than Trump (and in respect of such visits there is much less objection to or comment on both on ROF or anywhere else).

People seem fuzzy-headed / deranged on this.

I think a lot of popular opposition to Trump has melted away. He's yesterdays news.

There will be relatively small scale and disruptive protests of course. Still not a reason to keep him away.
