Who On Earth Invited Trump To Darken Our Shores?

[diddlydo]

Why are we entertaining this moron largely at the taxpayer's expense?

[tamborine]

diddley, Trump has been invited by HRH to commemorate lives given by Uk & USA at WW2. If it wasnt for USA we would live under the jackboot - IF we were spared gas deaths!

[agchristie]

Nice one Khandro!

How many times? HRH did not make the invite, HMG did. And he's not here to pay his respects. That is merely an aside to his visit.

/// So that's around 14 million US "cowards" ? - Quite a large amount. ///

I think that the figure is higher, if everyone was willing to drop everything, put on a uniform and pick up a gun, there would be no need for a Draft system, and there would be no 'cowards' as you incorrectly called them.

But then I suppose you would be the first to volunteer, which I doubt very much.

It's not cowardly to not go to war.. It's smart. It's called survival.

USA are the only allies that saved us being slaughtered in last war. The commemoration has rverything to do with them.

you know - can people TRY to write english when they post on this site ? even I wouldnt write a sentence - - "you would volunteer: no you wouldnt."

Beeb hack was saying that Trump is popular is Eastern Europe as he has made respectable various racialist and white supremacist policies which were previously taboo

Time for open the Overton window folks!

If you had been around at the time, I suppose you would have been amongst those other members of your sex, who while safely warm and cosy in your own home, would condemn any man as a coward, who happened to be walking the streets in a suit instead of a uniform.

And yes it did happen.

Did you notice how Trump told the Poles that NATO wasnt worth it and he was pulling out?
You didnt ?
see his first speech - which was to the Poles - and my god didnt they stop cheering ! ( in disbelief, I dont blame them)

"Incidentally Trump was deferred the draft due to his College studies, he was also medically exempt due to a foot problem."

Sometimes a little more background can help shine a light:

AOG; You may be misunderstanding my post at 11:39 (I hope). It was heavily t.i. cheek, and at canary's at 11:10. that's why 'cowards' was in quotation marks :0)

// PP//can people TRY to write english when they post on this site ?// smirks Cloverjo, looking around expectantly

yes but clove my sweet - - if you wish to imply it is the pot calling the kettle black - then you understood my post

and the whole point of the post is that - you DON'T understand my posts. dear dear

Welcome to the United Kingdom Mr Trump

As half British I'm sure you will feel right at home here.

Far from gritting her teeth the Queen seems to be looking good, only half wit is miserable. Perhaps she is pleased The Donald clearly has taken some protocol lessons and is behaving impeccably. Pity Barry didnt, but there we are, as we have said it is the office not the person we are entertaining.

Go Donald!

/// "you would volunteer: no you wouldnt." ///

But that is not what I wrote.

Perhaps you should first learn how to read English?

Or even write it, 'WOULDN'T' is the correct way to spell that word.

Just to be a little pedantic you understand, Mr Pedant?

Those familiar with The Mikado will know Koko's song, 'I've got a little list',in which he lists people who might well be underground and who never would be missed.

One of those is "The idiot who praises in enthusiastic tone,
Every century but this and every country but his own"

Suns up today's protesters.

If we faced a threat of invasion of the UK by a beligerent country I assume you would happily wave your schoolmates off to enlist and risk their life for you whilst you do what?

AOG - I am baffled...

I was responding to a cartoon picturing Corbyn at the table hosting his own event,posted by Khandro which I can't see anywhere now!!

[tamborine]

Trump as elected POTUS is here to represent USA servicemen on DDay commemeration.

[dannyk13]

Wouldn't mind betting that most of those demonstrating do not know what D-day meant to this country.
