Would you travel to America this year?

I do think its deeply unpatriotic for a British person to visit the US.

They were willing to go to war over Greenland (before buckling due to the EU's threats), are leveraging their economic clout against the UK, have made very clear their unwillingness to defend the UK/Europe - despite the UK having duly supported the US several times, and have repeatedly denigrated the sacrifices of British troops who have given their lives or suffered horrendous injuries while doing so.

Needlessly giving money to a country that's becoming increasingly adversarial to our interests, and whose power comes from its economy, just seems really scummy.

I do.

Yes we are going in 2 months!!!! So excited

That's if you believe an unsubstantiated tweet from DHS, who have frequently posted outright lies on X.

She is a criminal, and was treated as such.
Don’t violate foreign countries rules.
It’s not difficult.

These minor administrative violations warrants 6 weeks in detention? There are no doors around the toilets. They take your phone. Did you read the whole story about how poorly she was treated? I would not want to travel to a country that treats visitors like that.

Yes! Going in June but I holiday in the States most years. Absolutely love the USA

That has already been debunked. She had multiple visa violations previously.

Do you want to go to a country that treats visitors like that? His ESTA had expired (due to a mixup) -in their mid-60's and white. Spent 6 weeks in ICE detention.

To all those saying it’s ’not safe’ - why exactly? If you’re talking about public shootings, these have not massively increased in recent years - in fact they have been decreasing since Covid. If you’re talking about ICE/immigration stuff - this will not affect you as a British citizen on a tourist visa, who clearly has hotels booked/a return flight home/not dodgy in any way.

If your reasons for not wanting to go are simply in protest to Trump, then crack on but it’s really not going to affect anything.

I won't go to the States while Trump is in power

Absolutely not. I decided this the day Trump was elected.

I'm always confused about the Florida trips, also. I'm an American in the US and Orlando in particular is definitely not the best we have to offer for a vacation destination.

It's not "Trump" in the abstract that worries me, it's the 77,000,000 people who voted for him. That's who you'll be giving your money to: people who believe in American exceptionalism and that what the administration is doing to their country, and the world, is absolutely right. That's who repels me: the average American who doesn't realise that voting for Trump was inexcusable. It's all their fault. Have you thought of Denmark?: Legoland, plus the great amusement parks in Copenhagen, plus lovely beaches.

NYC in November 😃

Absolutely not.

It depends on why you are considering not going. I live in Florida and have for many years and feel completely safe during my day to day life. (Admittedly I am white so my perspective might be different if I was a person of color. You didn't say whether you are, OP.) If the reason you are considering not coming is for safety reasons, nothing has changed here in the past week.

If it's to protest the government and the president, I can totally respect that. I have been to several protests here in Florida myself.

Yes. Went there last summer for two weeks, absolutely no issues, children loved it. Would happily go again tomorrow.

Yes I would. We are visiting friends in the US for 4 weeks in the summer and can’t wait. We go to the US every other year as there is so much to see and do. We did Disney years ago with our children and it was good fun. Go and enjoy.

No. But nothing to do with the war I won't return as it's not safe with trump in charge.

What is the colour of your skin?

Also, who the fuck is anyone to tell someone else to go somewhere else on holiday.

Someone who has been both to Disney, and other places? I mean I'm not making them but suggesting that there are other places is allowed, surely.

I can respect strong principles even if I don’t agree Do you not agree? Do you think Trump's America is great and not a problem? Do you think war-mongering, corrupt rapists should be in charge of the world? I mean, it's a choice I suppose.

Where do you draw the line at not using companies or organisations using AWS? You don’t have any choice if you want to bank online or submit your tax return to HMRC online.

It’s an excuse because people want to use mumsnet. They could easily not as it’s not essential as a pp said. It’s not about being perfect, but surely people would boycott the really easy stuff if they felt strongly and it’s super easy to boycott a forum like mumsnet. I can respect strong principles even if I don’t agree, but when someone won’t even stop using mumsnet, it’s nothing more than virtue signalling. Maybe the pp will give up mumsnet now she knows about AWS though, Tbf, they haven’t come back and replied. Maybe they’ve decided to boycott now they know and if so, fair play.

Also, who the fuck is anyone to tell someone else to go somewhere else on holiday. Disney isn’t somewhere I like, but others love it. As for tracing divorce back to Disney….😅. If your relationship is good, you will be good anywhere.

No. Had to faithfully promise a friend I would not go to the US for birthday due to horror stories. Plus I have an Irish passport. Not sure if that makes a difference.
