Nicola Sturgeon has said it would not be classed as essential travel and therefore illegal. Is it wrong that I am overly-invested in wondering how this would play out legally? He is still president until the following day, so, if he were to land, would the UK/Scottish government be able to stop him passing through security and heading down to one of his golf courses? Would the police pass him a fine?
I've had quite a shitty day (haven't we all!!) so I'm finding this all quite distracting and fascinating to think about.

That's all we need.

TiffanyIceberg · 05/01/2021 21:51

God I hope so, would cheer me up!

Well, that's interesting Nicola Sturgeon has said it's illegal. If the Donald gets much more frustrated I think he might implode. Or explode.

Interested in this thread?

Nicola and Trump facing off across the tarmac at Prestwick would be an absolute popcorn fest, surely.

I'd hope she'd go the full Jane Godley on him:

'Yous were f*+#n telt tae stay in your aen hoose!'

Exploded Trump 😁 would look like a dropped bowl of butterscotch angel delight with two Pringles stuck in, his repulsive pouty lips.

Grin @AngelicaElizaAndPeggy

Brilliant

startrek90 · 05/01/2021 22:03

Please say someone will be recording it? As I understand though don't heads of state have to be invited? They do have diplomatic immunity but they also have to ask permission from foreign governments to come in, they can't just rock up as and when. At least that's what I have been led to believe...

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 05/01/2021 22:06

@TiffanyIceberg- yes you are right, he would make a sound like a wet fart as he exploded and his toupé would ripple in the west coast breeze like the dead grass on the Menie dunes. What a sight it would be 😱

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 05/01/2021 22:07

@startrek90 this is exactly what I find so utterly fascinating! So, the Queen would have to invite him, thus contravening Nicola's covid rules potentially too? By organising a mass gathering?

JamieLeesCurtains · 05/01/2021 22:10

Who would give the pilot permission to land?

I'm fascinated too.

HirplesWithHaggis · 05/01/2021 22:13

I expect Police Scotland will be waiting to arrest him for breaching Covid/non-essential travel restrictions.

Nah, not really. Aren't there exclusions for high flying business folks? Donnie will just be visiting his local businesses.

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 05/01/2021 22:14

I don't think he'd wait for permission @jamieleescurtains- I think he'd just land the thing and get out.

I'd love to be the air traffic controllers though and find out- they could just refuse to grant permission and then see if he flies about in circles overhead.

OP posts:
AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 05/01/2021 22:16

@hirpleswithhaggis- what happens, though, if on 21st January he is charged with state or federal crimes back in the US? Would he be extradited? Sorry for asking so many questions, it's just all so weird I can't help myself Grin

LaurieFairyCake · 05/01/2021 22:18

I want him to turn up

Her not allow him to disembark

Or then leave

For a week Grin

(The idea he's not attending the inauguration is ABHORRENT and anti democratic - and would likely inflame idiots who would riot on his behalf)

BigSkyLife · 05/01/2021 22:19

Does this mean he won’t be attending Biden’s inauguration?

Sunbird24 · 05/01/2021 22:20

Sadly think he’d have to be given permission to land at least somewhere as they won’t have enough fuel to just fly straight back to the US. Wondering if they may be able to prevent him disembarking somehow (hide all the steps?) either long enough to refuel the plane or until he’s no longer President... Added advantage of containing the implosion/explosion within the aircraft and saving the airport staff a clean-up job!

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 05/01/2021 22:21

@bigskylife- nah, he's not going. Apparently he is going to announce his 2024 candidacy while the inauguration ceremony is taking place.

OP posts:
AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 05/01/2021 22:22

@sunbird24 Love the idea of hiding all the steps - he'd be apoplectic with irn-bru coloured rage!!

OP posts:
Cherrysoup · 05/01/2021 22:23

Well, he’s been inciting rioting from before the election was called, so no change there. The U.K. and the US have an extradition agreement, I believe. hopes frantically that he comes and is arrested for crimes against humanity

Kendodd · 05/01/2021 22:23

Where is he at the moment?
Will he be appearing at his march tomorrow?

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 05/01/2021 22:24

@cherrysoup - wouldn't it just be so perfect if he was arrested for crimes against humanity on Scottish soil? His destiny would have come full circle.

If the Giant Orange Man Baby does come to Scotland I hope that mariachi band Juan Direction will welcome him again with a wheelbarrow full of bricks for his Mexican wall like they did last time.

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 05/01/2021 22:25

Not sure @kendodd. Think he was shuffling around in Georgia yesterday. But he's a busy bee and seems to get about a lot!

OP posts:
Kendodd · 05/01/2021 22:26

I wonder if hes been watch Julian Assange so thinks he can claim asylum in the UK and escape justice in America.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 05/01/2021 22:26

I think Scotland should let him in, if only because his next most likely alternative is his resort/golf course in Ireland and we don't want him either. Grin
