My "anecdotal" evidence bears much more weight than does your reliance on right-wing American media. You're a clueless, white-bread American with little experience or knowledge outside of your insular little bubble.
Actually, all my husband's side, all English, over 50 crowd voted for Brexit. I think it's the right decision. All the younger ones didn't.

But not the democratically elected President of the United States, our closest ally in the world?

President Trump will get the whole works. Same as Presidents before him. The protestors can stamp their little feet all they want. Won't make any difference.
I think U.K. should roll out the red carpet for Trump.

It seems a bit weird when some of the greatest Presidents in US History, many of whom I mentioned in my last post were never afforded such an honour.

I know the American people are great allies and friends, and we want closer relations with them, but that doesn't mwan we shouldn't err on the side of caution.
U.K. may have no choice, unless you want to be ruled by those EU people.

They will, they know who runs the world now. We defeated them in 2 wars and saved their butts in 2 more wars, I don't think there's enough stupid people in UK to mess with us and get them in trouble.

I knew these signatures were a load of cr** Having them does not mean you are going to stop the visit because it is STILL ON!


(TODAY)
A poll by YouGov published Wednesday said nearly half of Britons surveyed thought Mr Trump's visit should go ahead, despite 1.7 million people signing a petition for his visit to be cancelled.
Just 36 per cent believed invitation of a state visit should be rescinded. Sixty per cent of the men surveyed approved of the visit while women were evenly split.


Prime Minister Theresa May issued the invitation to Mr Trump on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to the White House on Friday, just seven days after the President's inauguration.

For the record: I like Theresa May and she seem to get along with Trump "swimmingly"


Theresa May says Donald Trump's UK visit will go ahead, but no word on Parliament address

Go UK!!!
I would be throwing a party in celebration of that happening.
This his attitude he might expect the Queen to bow to him .

I HOPE the Queen welcomes President Trump and this would send a message to all the cry-babies of the world.

What an embarrassment it would be to have this pig, hair flapping, coat hanging wide open with his huge gut hanging out, pretending that trailer trash could somehow be in the same league as the Queen of England.


Good on you lot for saying NO. We're working on it here in America, but it takes time. We have an expression: You can't fix stupid. We have a LOT of stupid that has been taken in by the profanity, the vulgar behavior, the racists comments, the bigoted behavior, and the unconscionable behavior toward women. Wait till he tries to bring his high priced call girl wife with him into the hallowed halls of England.


Just say NO. We're behind you. If we get a proper President back in office, we would love to have him or her come visit your country and the Royal Family. Until that time, it would be an embarrassment for both of our lands.
No, Americans aren't behind the "Snowflakes" in the UK. Left wing Liberal Trump haters don't speak for all Americans. If they did, we would not be talking about Trump as President. The only one fighting Trump here are the Liberal Snowflakes who protest by tearing up stuff, and forming groups to sit around and cry. That's not the Americans that support the UK. The Trump haters are the ones that are glad the Refugees has invaded the UK and the ones that will fight to send more to you.

Don't be fooled by these people saying they are standing with the UK. They are only standing with your version of the "Snowflake." The ones that wanted to sell out the UK to the EU, and condemned "Brexit. They are the ones who want you to open your Borders to more Muslims and their freedom to Practice their Religion. like Sharia Law in your Country. These people are not your friends. The President is.
