More than 10,000 police officers called in to protect Trump during visit to UK

[RandySF]

Over 10,000 police officers will reportedly be on hand during President Trump’s state visit to the United Kingdom next week as thousands of protesters are expected to demonstrate against his three-day stay.

The Times reports that police chiefs in Britain are expected to spend £25 million, or roughly $31,600,000, on security costs related to the president’s visit.

The expansive security operation by The Metropolitan Police will reportedly include snipers, bomb-sniffing dogs and helicopters to watch over large-scale protests anticipated to coincide with the president’s stay.

According to the British publication, more than 250,000 protesters are expected to attend demonstrations during the president’s visit.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan also reportedly granted permission to protesters to fly a giant, orange inflatable baby designed to liken Trump over the capital during his visit.

1. A massive amount of money to protect that lowlife ....

what a shame. The trip only serves trumps ego. The money spent could certainly be put to helping the needy.

[Totally Tunsie]

2. Wouldn't it be cheaper to give all 10,000 police officers

three days off with pay? Let the fish n' chips fall where they may!

3. Maybe the Sea Shepherd can run the Thames and launch stink bombs at the Trump whale

4. That is pathetic. Nt

5. I think they need to make a large McCain

balloon also. Both baby trump and McCain would piss him off.

6. Hopefully, there will be a McCain inflatable man. An encounter in the

presence of the 0rangejuan, in which the McCain man rams the Trump baby, causing it to leak and fall into the hands of the "enemy", who capture it and make it their POW. Perhaps, they will do mean things to the POW baby. All recorded and played on TV for Trump to see it later.

7. I hope they do their very best to be as incompetent as possible.

What a sickening waste of resources.

8. Oh they should send the 10,000 London police off to play golf...

... let the street crowds take care of trDump's family welfare as they travel about England.

The throngs of viewers will greet the trDump family with lots and lots of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate milkshakes. No need for straws. It will be like a greet and splash - party.

9. Apparently there is a threat that it might rain

milkshakes.
