Default Owen Jones believes he represents the majority

https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv...affic.outbrain

Can’t stand this jumped-up little twerp who has gotten far too big for his boots. I agree with most of this in that he needs to get real and stop thinking he is the ‘voice of the people’ - in his dreams!!

The irony of course being that Owen's views here do represent the majority, so much so that even Express readers agree:

people should erect a giant pyre in the middle of Trafalgar Square and burn a giant effigy of the orange twat
then maybe, just maybe, he gets the message and stops lying about Britain to illustrate his idiotic ideas about health service, racial integration and so forth

I can think of many people much more deserving of such an act than Trump, pointless as it is. Maybe we should leave the burning of effigies and the like - together with the implied threats - to the likes of ISIS and their supporters as that kind of moronic act is much more up their street and I see no reason for the West to lower themselves to their level.

Nobody is planning on parading ISIS around our country as an ally, arm in arm with our nations leaders.
I mean, yes ISIS is worse than Trump. You are missing the point though.

I nominate John Venables - but don't bother with any effigy, just burn the real thing.

Or if we are strictly talking 'Political Figures only, how about Dianne Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn?

Get of your high horse about the West, Brillo. No need to bring ISIS into it.
Burning effigies is an old British tradition. The only innovation I suggested was time and place.

A 30-ft effigy of former apprentice star Katie Hopkins was burned at Edenbridge Bonfire celebrations last Saturday. Festival organsisers described her as an “easy choice” due to her “silly remarks” this year. Katie joins a group that includes Bill Clinton, Osama Bin Laden and Barack Obama, all of whom have had effigies burned as part of traditional bonfire celebrations in Kent and Sussex.

Exactly L.T.

Trump is the DEMOCRATICALLY elected President of THE most powerful country in the world - a FREE country at that - who has been our biggest ALLY through thick and thin, and this being so, the mindless morons who are participating in these disgusting anti-Trump anarchic 'demonstrations' are DISRESPECTING the MAJORITY of American voters who elected Trump.

These sheep would do better to stay away and devote their time to researching the anti-Western, anti-Democracy subversives who are behind THIS and virtually EVERY other 'Protest' and 'Demonstration' in this country.

Do ANY of these wankers speak for US - the REAL majority? - NOT on your NELLY.

They are merely more PRO-ACTIVE and SHOUT more LOUDLY and more OFTEN.

It is high time the moderate silent MAJORITY in this country stepped up and made their voices heard to DROWN out these anarchists.

I mean, this thread is based on the assumption that three Good Morning Britain viewers constitutes a majority, so yes

It’s not a stretch of anybodys imagination that the majority of Brits don’t support Trump. If people are angry about somebody suggesting this, I’d argue they’re over-sensitive.

That is not the same as accepting that as the American President he has every right to come here and the likes of deluded wannabes like Owen Jones won’t change that.

I don’t understand how either of these things relate to my post. He suggested the majority of Brits do not support Trump. If we really think about this, he is probably right.

How can you consistently keep misinterpreting what is being stated?

No ONE is 'angry' about anyone suggesting that 'the majority of Brits don’t support Trump' because that statement is pure B.S and I'd love to see your evidence which corroborates it.

You are CLEARLY confusing the tiny percentage of the viewing public who actually leapt to participate in the TV Poll and NOT the majority of the Great British Public - who did NOT leap up to participate.

The 'MAJORITY' of Brits do NOT really give two flying fecks for Trump one way or the other, besides which there is a gulf of difference between; 'Not Supporting Someone' and participating in disruptive, anti-Democratic, anti-Social 'Protests and 'Demonstrations' which ARE the reason for mine and others posts - NOT the reason you have erroneously given above.

Irrelevant. He won a democratic election, whether or not some Brits don’t approve of their election rules, and is the current President. Like him or not he has every right to come to Britain without supposed adults acting like children and stamping their feet because they don’t like his views and can’t get their own way.

If the Americans want him out they can do so at the next election.

And people here have a right to disagree. Remember giant march against bush visit? Protests against the Chinese President?
Not to mention that speaker of British parliament refused to have trump put a foot inside the building
It is our democratic right to protest p
