I understand part of Downing Street is being closed off by police, so it won't be possible to get directly to Parliament Square from Trafalgar Square, or vice versa?

ETA: Sorry, obviously I meant Whitehall!

There is a petition calling for the police to reverse that decision: https://www.change.org/p/metropolitan-police-let-protesters-march-against-trump-on-4th-june?recruiter=198717631&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition

Trafalgar Square is connected to Parliament Square Via Whitehall and Parliament Street.

Downing street is Off of Whitehall and has no public access.

they would need to close Whitehall

They would not need to close the whole of Whitehall, Dulwich Fox, and were not intending to.

Not from what I understand, anyway.

ETA: My understanding was that they were going to block off part of the middle so that demonstrators could not gather near the entrance to Downing Street, and also could not walk down Whitehall directly between Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square, but would have to go a longer way round.

Commie rubbish!

[KidKruger]

I read on social media that people living near Trump?s golf course estate in Aberdeenshire have been sneaking onto the golf course at night and shitting in the golf holes !

A dump for Trump !

After the USS John McCain fiasco in Japan, I think the protesters on Tuesday should carry large photos of John McCain!

Uncleglen, do I take it that you are a supporter of Trump and all that he stands for? Please enlighten us.

Be careful what you post online

No respect.

Why didn't you protest when the royal family had dinner with the saudi government?

...Saudi who?

What about boycotting Brunei...?

I do so love selective outrage/moral relativity. ;-)

What's this all about, Trump wants business deals with NHS?

[JohnL]

The Presidential plane is in sight over Stanstead when Sky News break that the President has just tweeted that Sadiq Khan is a loser.

That's the US Ambassador Woody Johnson (family company Johnson and Johnson).

Not before Khan was disrespectful to Trump- Khan is taking the visit as a great opportunity for electioneering...

And in reply to ZT...Trump was elected many people obviously supported his policies and are still happy with them. I am not sure where his decision about the transgender people in the military is coming from but that is for them to decide and I dare say the military have reported on the cost of surgeries and treatment and the disruption to service by transgender soldiers and a decision was made. I do believe that the democrats will jump on anything they can to smear Trump- much like the attitude of the far-left in the UK ...after all that is the nature of the filthy world of politics...and at the end of the day 'we' all love an endless supply of cheap labour- it kind of fits in with 'I want that and I want it NOW'

Wrong on all counts. You appear to be a Trump supporter and notice the way you slip in your view on transgender and the military. Also your use of the word "filthy". All round depressing.

[VelvetBlueberry]

Ooo... We shouldn't take things out of context.

Trump openly tweeted:

"Sadiq Khan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly 'nasty' to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me.

Kahn reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job - only half his height.

In any event, I look forward to being a great friend to the United Kingdom, and am looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now."

I completely agree with him because he's right.

You wont find the far-left boycotting anyone of colour. It wouldn't support their narrative of being anti-racist. :)

Takes me back to a very interesting "debate". This gave me the tickles.

VB Think you are confusing things that Trump has said and actual truth/reality. Your second post above is very dodgy.

[VelvetBlueberry]

The truth & reality of the situation is that the UK will be leaving the EU - that is what the majority of Britain voted for. Whilst those who voted remain are busy doing this

or storming the streets like the sore losers that they are, the fact still stands that we are due to leave the EU, so I'm curious to know whether they've been spending any of the past 2 years productively thinking of ways to help themselves.

I take it the far-left are more comfortable with a hard-Brexit than they make out to be, given that they're chasing away our greatest ally.

Not an ally but a predator
