City hall have given the green light to a crowdfunded blimp depicting an angry Donald Trump throwing a temper tantrum in a nappy, meaning it will be flying over Parliament Square on the day of his visit.
Do you think this is a valid piece of satire or do you think this should have been disallowed so as not to annoy the President?
Trump spent years...YEARS challenging Barack Obama’s claim on the Presidency. He was a keen advocate of the birther movement. Why should he be afforded our respect, when he claimed the previous POTUS was there fraudulently?
Just a couple of the less vitriolic comments made on American chat sites.
"The United Kingdom is a place where it is against the law to offend a Muslim, even if the Muslim was a Member of ISIS... but totally OK to offend the President of the United States of America even when on a visit to the UK."
"Should the government and people of the U.K. allow this vile insult to stand, all diplomatic relations with the U.K. should be severed; the U.K.'s ally status should be revoked; all military protection should be revoked. Sanctions are also in order for this enemy of the U.S.A. The once lion-hearted Brits have been Islamicized out of existence; treat them as the enemy they have become."sic.
"Your government did, just as your government is tacitly approving this decision by Khan to approve this insult to our President. I'm pretty sure the government here would never approve such a grandiose insult of your PM during a visit to Washington."
Togo at 09:59, makes you proud to be British dunnit!
Sp, //Even his wife can’t bear to let him touch her in public.//
Where do you people get this rubbish from? You haven’t a clue what his wife thinks but nevertheless to you it’s acceptable to make it up as you go along. As long as you can put the boot in anything goes, doesn't it SP. Shameful, absolutely shameful.
Anneasquith, when you start sticking the boot in at every opportunity to people like Khan who thinks that criticism of FGM is a hate crime, then your opinions will be worth listening to.
well I think it is out of order and disrespectful to any visiting dignitary... what happened to the Great British sensibilities and decorum... one must respect the office... would you like an effigy of Her Majesty in the US disrespected in such a way ? extremely churlish...

I am British Maomi, and proud to be. The people organising, funding and facilitating this tawdry stunt however are not. They hate Britain and only claim the honorary description "British" to hide behind. Check out the "names" of the Stop Trump group and compare with the I am British organisation.

I didn't shout and ball when Obama was bombing the *** out of the middle East... Raise your hand if you did shout and ball at Obama for doing that... Hands up those of you who called out Obama for his record breaking efforts to through out illegal immigrants... not me for sure.
