Nothing says "welcome" like a balloon!; London will fly a blimp to greet it's special guest.

When a "special" guest comes to town, flowers are a given, tea with the Queen is a must and a big balloon to comemorate the visit couldn't be friendlier!

What an infantile stunt. It says more about those responsible (including that preening Mayor of London) that it does about Trump.
It is all rather sad.

What is sad is that a moron like Trump ever got to be president.

It also appears if this is accurate Trump won't be going anywhere near London:-

Says nothing about the mayor. He had no grounds to ban the balloon. And yes the balloon may be childish and I'm sure Fox news will hardly report it but if anyone deserves such a stunt it's Trump

In a way it's a shame it's not one of him in some sort of embrace with Stormy Daniels

What is says is that we, as a nation and a people, are not afraid to hold our people of importance and power up for ridicule when they deserve it, and that political satire is still a valid form of political protest.

And THAT is a very healthy thing to be able to say.

You'll rue the day we ever live under a regime where such is not permitted.


All The Best

well, given the alternative, i was not remotely surprised.

as with our own bunch of shitbags, the only thing that stuns me is this is the best we / they have

it isn't, of course, but it's what the bent system serves up.

but anyway, back to the topic of the thread, is this thing flammable ???

Somebody in Britain will snub him for something-or-other and we'll be hearing about your perceived shortcomings on Twitter for a month.

The Art of Deplomacy.

MAGA!
