It is our democratic right to protest p

Is that the parliamentary speaker currently accused of bullying you speak of!

[Twosugars]

And majority in the UK disapproves of him

[Kazanne]

The majority isn't always right,there is only a majority as people who really don't know much about politics just jump on their friends or families bandwagon and follow the crowd .Trump is not lying about Britains knife culture as much as we try and deny it , we have one, we can say what we like about their gun culture so why not them about our knife culture? we should be able to take criticism , as for people moaning about his visit here,no doubt some protesters will show us up as always by being obnoxious and violent.

Not gonna repeat why trump is unpopular here and in most countries. I get it you disagree, you even like the guy. It's a democracy, people are allowed to protest and they will.

The Sinister Group Behind Anti-Trump Riots Exposed
A pro-free-speech rally at the University of California, Berkeley, took a different turn after radical far-leftists started attacking the peacefully assembled crowd. The event, which took place on the 15th of April, descended into a ferocious and chaotic event.

The shadowy extremist group known as Antifa is a network of loosely united far-left anarchist and communist groups that organize violent protests and attacks on populists, conservatives, and anyone else its members deems to be Nazis or fascists.

The anti-fascists action group, commonly known as Antifa was originally formed in Germany in the 1980s. The group took the name of the communist paramilitary groups that engaged the Nazis in street-fighting in the 1930s.

Independent journalist Lauren Southern revealed that anyone who tried to hold any sort of right-wing event literally got beat up by militant communists in the street. Southern was present at one of the pro-Trump Berkeley rallies.

One of the footage captured by Southern’s crew showed Antifa street fighters throwing bricks and M-80 explosives into the crowd, as well as assaulting Trump supporters. One of the witnesses also released another footage that showed one Antifa thug hit a Trump supporter over the head with a bicycle chain and lock.

At Monday’s London rally at Downing Street, the red flags of the Socialist Workers Party were already in evidence. “Stand Up To Racism”, a front for that party, is attempting to organise another demo at the US embassy in London on Saturday. Like that other SWP front, Unite Against Fascism, and of course the Stop The War Coalition, Stand Up To Racism has taken for its name a phrase that is almost entirely unobjectionable. This makes it easy to pull in support for its marches and petitions.

But a bit of scepticism is crucial here. Stop The War is a discredited organisation run by sinister apologists for the Assad and Putin regimes. Their newspaper of choice, the Morning Star, celebrated the “liberation” of east Aleppo by Assad’s forces, and defamed the heroic White Helmet civil defence group as jihadists. They count among their leading lights such charmers as Stalinists who have declared solidarity with North Korea.

The hard-left - purer than the driven snow with no agendas whatsoever other than achieving equality for all - yeah, yeah, yeah!!! Thugs and hypocrites come in all shapes and sizes AND political parties AND so-called ideologies!

I don't get why this forum, and people in general imagine the left as this huge monolithic group, the left certainly don't confuse your garden variety right wingers with the Alt Right

Even if he shares the same views with a majority of people, I think most people find him hugely cringeworthy.

This is probably true. I agree with a lot of his sentiments but I still find him an irritating little sh*t on a personal level

[Twosugars]

he can be a little bit ott, but I don't mind him, we need passionate people, brits are too laid back on the whole and politicians get away with too much as a result

THere is a bit OTT and then there is a deluded loud-mouth, know-it-all little S**te which is what he is. He thinks he knows a lot more than he actually does and soon most will be sick of the sight and sound of him.

To be fair, it seems that there's a common misconception in certain circles that having a strong / confident opinion is the same as "being a know it all"... Or, perhaps, that claim is simply used by some people to shut down when others happen to have confident opinions that contradict their own.

We all have confident opinions but some try harder to force those opinions on to others. Jones is one of those pretentious people who think they have the right as he of course knows better than most. Somehow I don’t think the majority would agree with him on that!

The poll said most people were against a state visit, but this visit is not a full state visit.

I totally get his frustration to be honest, and that's actually a fairly recent thing for me (the last 18 months or so). There are so many rules and buzzwords and phrases thrown around these days - most of it absolute horse****, and most of it from people who have very little idea what they're actually talking about - that it's all too often impossible to have any sort of real or constructive discussion without it descending into jargon and rhetorical one-upmanship.

I strongly suspect that most people who do it would simply be incapable of holding down a one-on-one discussion without the pocket phrasebook of conversation killers.
