Retired. Doing a bit of volunteering. Escaped here from X to avoid right wing toxicity and conspiracy theories. Exiled Brighton supporter so learned resilience over the years. No DMs please.
In the UK we've lost a dodgy prince, a dodgy ambassador and possibly soon a bewildered prime minister. The US has lost no-one!
Also, with all the sickening rich men involved, the only person in prison (albeit very deservedly) is a woman!
Something is going wrong here!

So disgusting. We're in the shit in the UK but this would still not be acceptable here by a long way. I'm just scared we are following you guys down the toilet with our press and right wing politics.

Another fucking Lord! So many reasons to abolish the whole system of the House of Lords. How many reasons do we need!!

One would hope so, but I'm not holding my breath. The whole thing is so corrupt that vested interests will do all they can to preserve it. National disgrace.

I signed too, but we shouldn't have to. Our Government should order Andrew and the King to make this happen. I would support some kind of extraordinary rendition!

Trump is a broken reed both at home and abroad. He just allows these things to happen and blusters. Just a weak shell of a President.

This could happen almost anywhere. I'm in England and there are lots of people who want a version of ICE to operate here. Places like Portland and Minneapolis are on the front line for us and we are eternally grateful.

Reminds me of the Beijing Olympics where they bussed people in to make the stadiums look full.
I'm in England, and I think ticket sales here are pretty non-existent!!

Incredibly sinister, especially given the personalities involved should they be in a position to implement. If they actually achieved power, my guess is they would go further than this in time. That's certainly the lesson we get from history.

They started out as a bunch of far-right nut jobs you'd never heard of and now they've become a bunch of famous far-right nut jobs. And incompetent ones at that!

Charles is head of the armed forces Trump has disrespected so he simply can’t go and give him the kudos of a state visit. If he does it’s another argument to end the monarchy.

Too late. He can just fuck off. The King is head of our armed forces so his visit to Trump should be cancelled.
