Well it rather looks like Theresa has landed herself with a bit of a problem by being eager to see President Trump over here for a state visit. It has certainly unleashed plenty of ill feeling towards our Donald. There have been demonstrations the length and breadth of the country. A local Leeds solicitor has started an online petition which has very rapidly gained the necessary total of votes for it to be discussed in parliament. I really wonder just how genuine the opinions of some of the people who have registered their protest via the petition are. I know lots of people who will subscribe to any protest on line - no matter what the cause! I suspect many of these people protest online just to cock a snoop at either their local politician or the government.
There are also plenty more demonstrations at airports in America, where lots of people have been caught mid transit by the new security regulations on immigration into America. I foresee a turbulent few weeks in politics!!
This morning it was interesting to read about a lady who was caught up in the security precautions at an airport in Germany. She had carried an article through the metal screening device, and was pulled to one side when it showed up. She was asked to explain what the device was, and she told the security lady that it was a breast pump - used to help her express milk for her infant. She was told, "But you don't have a baby with you", and asked to express some milk to prove her point! She duly obliged, but was somewhat cross at the demands which had been made of her!!!!
Oh! by the way. She was not white skinned - she came from Singapore. I wonder if a white person would have had to do the same thing?
