This is BS on Britain's Part

The media and left have their panties in a twist because Trump called out Merkel (mustn't undermine "allies") but they think this is all good fun. The UK government could have blocked this insulting spectacle but didn't. In fact, they have facilitated it. I guarantee you they wouldn't have allowed a similar slight to Obama. Anyway Theresa May is on her way out too. Good riddance.

They are seriously delusional if they think they are getting anything out of Trump after this.

I don’t think it’s disrespectful to our country at all. I could see if there was an American flag associated with this balloon, that would be another story but as it stands now they are protesting Trump. That seems totally appropriate considering the tensions between Great Britain and Russia and Trump’s cozying up with Putin.

As far as the Brits not speaking their mind out of fear, that is called courage. It’s important to remember these are the people who made “never surrender” their unofficial motto.

Yeah but... over Parliament? I dunno. If I was a Brit, I'd probably chip in for Helium. But I think there's a certain pomp and circumstance thats only proper when a head of state visits. It just doesn't seem right. Its certainly not the call of the Mayor. I bet they shut it down.

It is the call of the Mayor's office.

Yeah. A big balloon Obama holding a birth certificate and one of those Muslim hats. That would go over real well I'm sure.

National security.

US corruption of the notion of national security lately allows anything can be justified under that catch all.

It is not happening in this case.

Why was the chicken allowed? Do you expect other countries to bow and scrape? Disregard their free speech laws?

There is a public park next to Parliament. Kahn the mayor gave permission in the end after it initially being turned down on the basis it was "art" not a political protest or something :) Trump made it personal however it could have been allowed anyway.

The problem in the US is humans have an instinct to worship kings. Many with less modern ? minds perceive the president as some kind of living god. He is a chief administrator chosen for a job and that he is attracting such ire is down to the fact he is a POS human being and a pathological liar. Nobody likes his gaslighting.

Respect those who deserve respect, respecting offices and flags blindly is for people who are not advanced enough to live in a democracy.

It it's in a park then there's nothing to talk about. This would've been allowed in America as well, and I'm sure we've protested leaders from other countries in worse fashion here in America and in close proximity to government buildings.
