Petition in support of Trump UK visit

[keving]

Now 105,000.
Why has this petition received no publicity

I had not heard of the other petition until yesterday ... from this forum

Whatever the pros and cons - this does place the Queen in a very awkward position. But - at 90 years of age, she is the ultimate diplomat.

I am sure she will handle it as always, with professionalism and grace Susana.
It off course is highly controversial, but for now, he is the President of a country that the UK needs on its side.
Brexit needs Trump!

I wonder - will he try and grab her "by the pussy"?
That would be interesting.
Forgive me if I misquote, but - I think I'm fairly close to the mark. Alpha male meets Alpha female in orangutan speak.

Anthropologists seem to just love Trump. I think enough material in that one guy for an entire conference )))

Why do we need America on our side?

Especially since Trump got in...I could go further back naming more, but being on ' their' side IMO hasn't done us any favours...

Strangely, for a very bible thumping country, Jesus, under the present circumstances wouldn't have been allowed in...

[keving]

Well, if 'Brexit needs Trump' all I can say is God help us.

[Dominic]

That's a good point. All those people waiting for the Rapture better head to Canada or Mexico I suppose.

Wow - going up like a Premier League footballer's bank account!

(I should add - this is the petition against Trump meeting the Queen. God Save her gracious Pussy. )

What is the point of it? I remember when a petition was started after the Brexit result, did that have any effect?

She seemed to manage just fine when she met Martin McGuiness.......

Maybe the point of it is s public expression of feeling? You know, rather than bottle up your feelings, let them come to the surface. I hear that such a relief mechanism can be enormously recuperative.

You could well be right, for some people I guess, who knows?! I'm not sure how adding one's name to a petition would give much vent to feelings however we are all different.

The sad thing is, I bet a lot of the people who signed that petition couldn't be bothered to vote in the first place.

Even sadder is the likelihood that the majority of those who didn't vote will be those most affected by the economic consequences of Brexit.

Still, there will be plenty of opportunities for true Brits to pick my strawberries in future once the east Europeans have disappeared from the scene.

Honestly, anyone who thinks the UK needs the US, needs their head looked at....

We pay billions every year for Trident. An ineffective old system, made by the Americans, who hold the ultimate power as to whether it is used or not. Effectively, we subsidise the US nuclear programme.

May would like to bring more US medical companies to the UK.... For what purpose? The US has one of the worst Western medical systems in the world. They pay, on average, much more than twice the UK, for a system that leaves its citizens (only those who can afford to pay) with terrible medical care that's over priced, over hyped and over there at present. I wonder if its any co-incidence that the majority of Tory MPs are linked to medical companies?

We have nothing we produce, that the US wants to buy. And if we did, Trump would ban it, as his predecessors have. What they produce, I'm sure we can live without.

If Brexit means new trading relationships, then we need to make things others want. Currently, we are a service economy. Far too reliant on the City of London and its financial might. Brexit is more than likely going to diminish that. Any manufacturing we do, is owned by foreign companies. We might have to adopt a "buy British" again to boost the resultant economy.

Trump thinks he can re-invigorate dead states, where manufacturing has disappeared. Coal, Steel, Heavy-Engineering can't be brought back, unless he embargoes all foreign imports. Mexico will offer manufacturing (and grass-cutting) at a fraction of the US hourly rate...

Innovation, where the US is strong, doesn't employ millions in the US and they do their best (like Trump) to hide it on foreign shores.

May seems to have "dropped her drawers" to Trump on her visit.... giving him his wanted Royal Visit, offering to open her doors, yet I'v heard of nothing in return....

My head is fine Jim.
The U.K. Exports more than 51b to the US, more than it exports to Germany.
The difference being that imports from the US are much lower than from Germany, which helps the UK.
The US is vital to the UK economy, now and in the future.
