Few, I have only just managed to catch up with today's news. Everytime I had to go off and do some work the thread got longer.

Don't forget the protest tomorrow at the American Embassy. My DH has been making placards Grin

I am now in love with the Swedish PM.

Professional anarchists, thugs and paid protesters are proving the point of the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Maybe, but not the most voters. Just saying.

Surely "professional anarchist" is a contradiction in terms.

BiglyBadgers · 03/02/2017 12:34

I want to get paid! Who do I need to apply to for that job?

TuckersBadLuck · 03/02/2017 12:35

We need to know who hired the professional anarchists.

@realDonaldTrump I protested peacefully this week. I did it because I despise your policies. Didn't know I could get paid. Will do it again.

That was her plan all along. She was feeling sidelined (Wendied, even) and now she's being invited to have lunch with them again.
Nicely played, May.

The #BowlingGreenMassacre is attracting quite a few funny comments too.

I like the bunnies.

SenecaFalls · 03/02/2017 12:46

Haha new Budweiser ad really pissing Trump supporters off!

Ironic considering that Trump is himself the grandson of a German immigrant.

When you start blaming refugees for things that never happened, you are on a slippery slope.

Someone else in history did that...

Who doesn't have a relative who was an immigrant? Most people are alive because grandparents were! It's an old totalitarian trick to invent crimes.

I've seen Owen Jones on Twitter saying he isn't going to the demo tomorrow because of the involvement of the SWP. Can anyone tell me some more about this? My immediate instinct is that infighting between protests all trying to say the same thing isn't helpful and risks fragmenting the opposition. I confess, I do also find Owen Jones a bit of a a righteous arse at times, though I have been impressed with most of what he has said on the trump business.

AcrossthePond55 · 03/02/2017 13:02

Someone above opined that Americans wouldn't believe Conway's fake massacre story. Most won't. But sadly there are some who believe to the depths of their souls than Sandy Hook either never happened OR it was planned by Barack Obama and executed by his 'secret Muslim army'. Yes, that's right, they believe that the President of the United States planned and carried out the execution of children.

We know (but no longer associate with) someone who can't seem to decide which story is 'the truth'. All he seems to know 'for sure' is that the actual truth is not the truth.

Shooting in France near Louvre.

Just after attack on Mosque in Canada and Trump increasing rhetoric.

Things are getting worse.

It was on QT last night. Words have consequences.

The SWP get involved in everything. They like a good demo, always have. Even better if they can start a fight while they're at it. The trick is to get on with the demo and refuse to let them co-opt it.
