Heads should roll........ we could have had Trump blimps all over the country. One in Scotland, just outside his golf course would have been nice.......
Not to worry, I'll note the allegation has not been verified as true, a common occurrence in TrumpLandia.
The Sun is a right-wing rag in the U.K. The photographer took a pic a few rows in. NPR took an aerial video showing the whole crowd. I'm cracking up that people don't understand that one can always make a crowd look smaller by showing only a small part of it.
Of course it's "childish and unbecoming" ...... Trump Hate has Leftists around the World on Hysterical Meltdown. The London Mayor is a joke with rampant crime and Machete and Motorbike assaults all over his jurisdiction. This balloon was a spendy item - 16,000 Pound sterling equals
21,120.86 United States Dollars - it would be interesting to find out who provided the MONEY and the Pre-Printed signs for this demonstration.
It was crowdfunding. Many, many people all over the world see what a joke Trump is.
We're going to give Donald a good old fashioned marching band and parade shortly. We know he likes that sort of thing. He can forget his troubles watching, and then go for tea with the Queen. It'll cheer him up considerably.......
The 20 foot balloon was launched a few hours ago with the blessing of the London mayor, Sadiq Khan. It floats about 32 feet off the ground, and was launched in conjunction with the protests of thousands of British citizens, angry about the way Trump treats the British government.
I'll just go ahead and post NPR's link and photo so people can compare with the photos from The Sun and decide for themselves, rather than trying to convince folks without any proof at all.
Reuters puts the crowd at 1000 people per the OP's link. In a city of eight million people.
