Default MAY - Another misjudgement

Didn't May have the nous to realise that inviting Trump for a nosh-up with the Queen was asking for trouble


She can hardly uninvite him now and I assume Trump wouldn't take kindly to being snubbed.


If May had actually taken stock of the nation's view of the USA's latest recruit she would have realised the protests that would ensue.


Naivety big time. Something to relish I guess.

I don't see these same people moaning when Obama did what trump has. 99% have just joined the fashionable bandwagon.

Anyone remember that lion that got shot? no? didn't think they would.

I love it when we get told a Trade Deal can be done in 90 days

and all the idiots simply nod and go "yeah it's simple"

you can't get divorce between two people through in 90 days - well you can if one party simply says "yeah have the lot"

so maybe our tactic will be to simply bend over and accept whatever the US say

We are not divorcing but marrying, much less time needed. It's only then you find out if they really want you up their rusty sheriffs badge or it's now off limits with the ring on.

Do you really believe that the PM invited Trump without the Queen's consent? And it's not the nation's view that he shouldn't come, certainly not mine. The UK has shuffled up closely to far more debatable characters than Trump.

I think we should have a referendum to decide if he should come.

everyone has got their fanny flaps in a twist with this ffs,

trump is doing what we should do, close the borders, see the state of the country.. then once we get a handle on propper numbers reopen borders and fill the space we have

as to having him round for tea, well we need the money app as europe doesnt pay

It wasn't so long ago that Saddam was one of our mates, and Chile's Pinochet too. Of course we turned our backs on the latter and hanged the former; perfidious Albion!

Well I expect the Queen does what she is told by HMG. I believe a million or so have signed a petition asking for his invitation to be binned unless he has a radical change of policy. Enough to get on Trump's **** when he turns up and possibly sour the alleged special relationship - whatever that actually means, if anything at all..

Closing borders is what most of the uk voted for. He is only doing what the masses want as there will be more people in America in favour of his move hence how he got voted in in the first place.

So rednecks have now joined the noble ranks of Brexiteers who know nothing about anything anywhere and yet seem to control political outcomes. How does that happen?

Why wouldn't you want to make sure that you have adequate vetting of immigrants from failed states like Somalia or Yemen?

It's only a 90 day ban to make sure that the correct controls are in place.

Trump(excuse the pun) is like a breath of fresh air as unlike other politicians he gets things done from the word go and that is what the people who voted him in wanted and are getting.

One million people signing an online petition hardly constitutes the nation's view. The EU referendum, on the other hand...

Sorry for my first attempt but I was laughing so much at some of the responses.
I suppose being muslim and from a radical state must be like being Irish in the 70's/80's.
