Re: Trumps visit.
That stupid balloon sadiq khan allowed to fly over Parliament
is childish , silly and an embarrassment to Britain.
We would not like to see a balloon of our Queen in a diaper flying over the White House.
Who is behind all these protests??
Who has organised the protesters
Who has financed all those posters of the protesters,
Who paid £16,000, for that stupid balloon,
What do these stupid idiots hope to achieve from all this.
Have those stupid protesters got no jobs to go to?? if on Benefits stop them, they should be out looking for work Not recieving money from the Tax Payer for protesting.

Re: Trumps visit.
he , mr trump , that is , has said a lot of undiplomatic things to The Sun ,he is , like it or not , good at negotiation , you start out by saying no/never it softens up the opposition , I worked with a man like that for 20 years , he always walked away with the best deal , so all he says is rhetoric , designed to dominate and disarm , so I don't believe a word of it

Re: Trumps visit.
Did I hear it right on the news that President Trump said Boris would make a great prime minister? bit of a kick in the teeth for Theresa May that considering he was to have dinner with the PM last night. Also did he say looking at the UK's white paper on Brexit and how it foresees the UK's relationship with the EU it will make it very difficult for the USA to do a trade deal with the UK!!!! so much for the special relationship.

Re: Trumps visit.
I can remember when the Sun first came out as a broad sheet and gave the appearance of being a sensible paper.
But Trump, like him or not is the elected president of the USA and he may at times say things we find odd, but he Is a business man and will do anything he thinks will do good for USA. Pity your gov does not think the same way, from what we hear here in Oz you will be stuffed by EU on BREXIT with the PM proposal.
Maybe Trump is right, a free trade deal with USA, we have one here in Oz, would be good for UK after BREXIT, but if your PM stuffs up no deal.
As for rent a mob, pity they did not protest about other matters such as the EU immigration rules which has seen the UK flooded with unwanted.


Happy daze John in Oz.

There's always one sadly, or two or three. But, apart from the odd hiccap - generally, the site
has been quite a happy ship of late and is both growing and I do hope that Samuel #145 continues to
enjoy it.... with us.
