FROM CNBC London: Over 50,000 protestors expected

Last edited Wed Jul 11, 2018, 04:52 PM - Edit history (1)

to gather in Trafalgar Square against Trump visit.

Very little support in UK for Trump.
Many protestors will be representing the 'STAY' voters, in a protest against Brexit also.

Protestors see that Brexit & Trump are one of the same.

UK despises pResident Trump & they will be out in large groups to let him & their own UK leaders know it.
---------------

Thank You UK
50,000 and growing, ready to tell Trump & the world, in their very British way how despicable he is

Can't wait for the pics.

50,000 athletes ran in their Marathon----not such a huge crowd for a city that size.

I'm surprised they could get 50 people TOTAL to skip that for a symbolic gesture at Trump, who will cowardly avoid the area of the protest anyway...

there will be millions on the street and of course fake news (Murdoch and sin sin clair) will report as such.

In other words, what protest.

May's desperate, and probably thinks riots would solidify her hold on power.

"Many protestors will be representing the 'Leave' voters, in a protest against Brexit also."

This sentence makes no sense. Pro Leave and pro Brexit are the same thing, so you can't represent the Leave (leave EU) and yet be against Brexit (leave EU.)

50,000 seems conservative - that many registered to march. It's going to be huge.
