/// Yes but these protesters won’t go out and injure anyone who looks like trump unlike the far right protesters who want people to go and hurt anyone who isn’t white ///
What rubbish you enter, I don't know which Far-Right parties you are referring to, but certain ones who are given this title protest against the increasing rise of Islam in the UK, and don't go out to physically hurt anyone, the hurting is generally carried out by the Far-Left opposing groups.

dannyk, usually the only reason for banning protests is the prospect of affray or stirring up hatred; but I think aog is being entirely fanciful in imagining that flying a cartoon blimp will do any of this. Trump may anticipate respect from the Queen and I'm sure he'll get it; but it would be a bad precedent if British people were to be cleared from the streets because they disagreed.
Like I said already, Trump will accorded the ultimate respect: it’s a state visit remember? :-)
I don’t have a problem with him coming but there has to be accommodation for people to protest. Peacefully.
So these protests should not be banned. And I don’t think there is any suggestion generally that they should is there?
Stopping people flying drones over Heathrow, demos plainly intended to raise hatred to one or other section of the community with threats of violence from counter demonstrators - that is a different matter.
