Maybe. Protesters in the US would be allowed to fly it if they wanted to, though.

What is the blimp saying exactly? Nah na na na nah? Is that the level here?

this is the level of their "protest" and it shows you just who these people are

love it

I hope it's not too small tho, Trump deserves the best and the biggest

[Kazanne]

I can't get my head round just how childish this is, the mayor of London needs to be doing things that matter for London, what a prick he is,the money spent on all that could have gone to some worthy cause, people need to stop soaking up all the fake and hysterical news about Trump, and remember we will probably need the US when we finally exit the EU. It's not even an inflatable that makes any sense.

[chuff me dizzy]

I admire Trump,hes doing what he said he would do .... Putting America and its people first ,I wish our government would follow his lead

They won't go down any more than UK tourism rates to the US went down when Obama spoke out against Brexit (i.e. Zero).

Watch half an hour of Commons debate. UK politics is immature, snide and silly . Always has been.

Very true.

In my head I know it's childish and disrespectful but in my heart it's also hilarious and I guess it's a bit of karma to a disrespectful man

Do you think he will care, I don’t, American business might feel differently, the man went to Korea and afer all the insults that were traded they treated each other with respect which is how elected leaders should behave, Khan is a total mess

American businesses (or multinationals based anywhere else for that matter) don't care about anything but their profit line, they're not going to take an ideological stance of any kind. In fact... If Trump blimps suddenly become very popular, they'll probably start selling them themselves .

..yeah it is a little bit funny I have to say...but I’m not really on board with it though...not because I have any respect for the Donald or his visit at all..but more because through his political career he has thrived on any negative attention...he has played the media game of ‘any attention is good attention’ so well because he is now president...so this would be something that gives him exactly what he craves..’protests’ against him have really not hindered him at all...it would be better I think to do nothing, no reaction if you like, to his visit...for those protesters to give him the message that he’s not even worthy of their protesting time...protest about other things that are important..but Donald...hmmm no, who the heck is Donald anyway...what would he hate more than anything else, to be ignored by the protesters I would say...no welcomes, no protests...just nothing....

I disagree, it would be seen as either acceptance or worse allegiance to the march of the bigot.
That or defeat... This country has a proud herritage of protestation we make ourselves heard when we need to from the suffragettes to the Jarrow marchers to the CND marches to the poll tax riots.

Nothing was ever accomplished by saying and doing nothing.

..yeah well there is that as well, Kizzy...that it would be a kind of ‘acceptance’ to do nothing and ignore his visit, type thing...that is a very good point...I guess for me it was more the type of protest being more like ‘Trump behaviour’ so to rise above how he typically behaves...?...but maybe another way of looking at that as well is to give him the message in language or ways he understands with his own behaviour...which would be something like this, the balloon...it is peaceful and it is a protest so yeah, why not...

from about half a mile away it will look like a Mcdonalds balloon. No one will see it bar the twats holding the string

I've heard these Televisibop doodads are becoming more and more popular though LT. It's like a magic window that let's you see all sorts of things from all over the world up close... Right there in your own living room!!

I was surprised too and a little scared at first, but I have to say it has been really enlightening and I wholeheartedly recommend saving up for one.

It’s very sad though - playground stuff - even more evidence, if it were needed, that the far left are very childish and petty! Perhaps they should concentrate on others things more suitable to their developmental stage as well as learning a valuable lesson about those in glass houses!

Bush who along with Blair hands drip with soldiers and civilians blood over Iraq lies, but was welcome here

[user104658]

Trump is all about "playground stuff". I'm not saying that I think it's clever or a good idea (mainly I think it's a waste of time), just that it's par for the course in politics these days, and "banning it" would be overly authoritarian. Freedom of expression is freedom of expression, for everyone, whether their message is "daft" or not. Really bugs me when people are all about being "non PC" and "freedom of speech"... But only when it suits.

Whether you like it or not; banning this silly blimp would be an example of "PC". .
