This is of course propaganda.
When did you last see lamestream media ENSORSE mass demostrations?! Half a million or a million people can come out to demonstrate in Britain and the BBC will never report it.
Let's see how they report tomorrow's demostration in support of Tommy Robinson.
'Together
Against Trump', thousands protest peacefully in London
13
July, 2018
LONDON (Reuters) - Chanting “Donald Trump has got to go,” tens of thousands of protesters marched through London on Friday waving banners and banging pots to demonstrate against the U.S. president on his first official visit to Britain.
Under
a brilliant blue sky, demonstrators streamed through central London’s
main streets carrying placards saying “Dump Trump” and “Keep
your tiny hands off women’s rights”. Opposition leader Jeremy
Corbyn was among the throng.
Organizers
said 250,000 people were protesting in London and other
demonstrations were expected in cities around the country, including
Windsor where the U.S. President was due to have tea with Queen
Elizabeth.
“Lock
him in the tower,” one homemade placard said there, just yards from
where Prince Harry married Meghan Markle in May.
Police,
who declined to put a number on the size of the demonstration, had
sealed off parts of London including Piccadilly and Regent Street for
marchers, while thousands filled Trafalgar Square to hear speeches.
“Trump
is not welcome in Britain,” said Grish Gregoran, 58, a shopkeeper
who took the day off to attend the protests.
“We
wanted to embarrass him and I think we have done that today. We know
how sensitive he is. It is horrible to hear the inflammatory language
that he uses and I am embarrassed that (Prime Minister) Theresa May
has done so much to welcome him.”
“DUMP
TRUMP”
London
regards its “special relationship” with the United States as a
keystone of foreign policy and May has courted Trump ahead of
Britain’s departure from the European Union.
But
some Britons see the U.S. leader as crude, volatile, unreliable and
opposed to their values on a range of issues. Those demonstrating
against Trump included women’s rights campaigners, supporters of
immigration and LGBT groups.
“Here,
queer and angry,” said one banner. “Immigration is not a crime,”
said another.
“Our
message to our government and our prime minister is: ‘We don’t
want a special relationship with bigots’,” Len McCluskey, the
head of the country’s biggest trade union, told Reuters.
Activists
kicked off the demonstrations on Friday by floating a six-metre-high
(20-ft) blimp outside parliament depicting the U.S. president as a
snarling orange baby.
Trump
told the Sun newspaper he was avoiding the capital as much as
possible.
“I
guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, (there is)
no reason for me to go to London,” he said.
London
Mayor Sadiq Khan, who has clashed repeatedly with Trump on Twitter,
defended the demonstrations as free speech.
“The
idea that we restrict freedom of speech, the right to assemble, the
right to protest because somebody might be offended is a slippery
slope,” Khan told BBC Radio.
Khan
said pro-Trump supporters would march on Saturday, although some were
present on Friday, separated from the main demonstration by police.
A
small group of pro-Trump supporters waved the U.S. flag alongside the
Union Jack, chanting “We want Trump” and “Trump for 2020”.
Charlie
Moffitt, a 16-year-old student who was wearing a red “Make America
Great Again” cap, said: “At a time when we are leaving the
European Union we need to be close to our most important ally.”
