[anotheoldgit]

It almost makes me ashamed to call myself an English man.

/// If he comes to London, President Trump will experience an open and diverse city that has always chosen unity over division and hope over fear. He will also no doubt see that Londoners hold their liberal values of freedom of speech very dear. ///

It seems like it.

why should anyone be forced to visit London in the first place? A nice visit to Chequers in the English countryside should be much more attractive. He might see somewhere he could build a luxury tower block, or failing that open a golf course.

It's not a state visit, apparently, but a 'working visit'. Therefore he would not be meeting the Queen at the Palace. The informal surroundings at Chequers would seem an ideal place, no?

Aye I would be ashamed too

[dannyk13]

Think it will be either at Sandringham or Balmoral.

[ummmm]

Lol Steg...

Khan's telling him he's not welcome there, which is fair enough. He obviously doesn't want hordes of crusties and assorted soap dodgers using it as a chance to riot, throw things at the police and help themselves to stuff from shop windows in London. Sorry.. I mean .. to show that they hold their liberal values and freedom of speech very dear.

Khan should be utterly ashamed if himself - as should be people who are planning to embarrass this country. Idiots all.

[naomi24]

not be - *the*

Time for Boris to get hold of his water cannons or they could ban all demonstrations, not like they haven't done so before.

Anyone noticed the date of the visit, Friday 13th?

[THECORBYLOON]

"they could ban all demonstrations, not like they haven't done so before." Eh?

[steg]

Aye there’s a solar eclipse then

[diddlydo]

Trump should not be welcomed anywhere in this great country.

[TheChair]

"It almost makes me ashamed to call myself an English man."
I agree. I'm ashamed that you call yourself an Englishman, too.

[dannyk13]

diddlydo, he is the head of the most powerful country on earth and one of our allies.He should be shown respect for that.

Danny - why should we show any respect to one of the most dangerous men on the planet who cosies up to Putin?

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, it's not the canons I'm confused about, it's the mangled English.

[dannyk13]

Diddlydo, for the reasons stated,showing your respect does not infer that you like him.

Canons????????????

I think you should be criticising your own mangled English before attacking others.

[diddlydo]

Danny - please learn the difference between infer and imply.
