I traveled to Ireland last March and was scared coming back into my own country! That was a first for me. Never ever could I have imagined this would happen here. I hope we will still have elections because I can't wait to vote!
The UK understands Trump in myriad ways but it’s clear the Starmer and King Charles will not speak frankly to him. They will flatter and praise him to the high heavens, as we see in this unprecedented second State visit they have accorded him. This is undoubtedly one reason the UK has merely been subjected to just a 10 percent tariff unlike the EU nations, India, China, and others.
What would be the purpose of upsetting him? It's so easy to do, and it just creates more chaos. The US still has enormous economic importance. Speaking 'frankly' to him would be cutting their nose to spite their faces.
I trust you aren't 'waiting'-- not when there are Democratic legislators to be told to fight harder and protests to be joined-- like No Kings Day 2 on October 18th! If we don't fight now like our democracy depends on it, we won't have meaningful elections in another 13 months.
My husband and I were out on the streets in central London today for the ‘Trump Not Welcome’ March. There is so little we can do! I’m a U.S. voter long-time U.K. resident. I’m devastated 😩😤 In case the main news media are too cowardly to show it - there were MANY people on the streets! All good natured and peaceful.

No. They won’t do anything to upset him.

I can't wait for October 18th!
I worry many Americans have their heads in the sand
Grateful for you Miles
& all other Truth Tellers. America is truly heartbreaking & frightening right now.
The answer is no, England will not tell him. Have you seen the pomp and circumstance they are throwing at him just to appease him? It is sickening.

This is so very sad.
My heart keeps cracking more and more. 💔
Our friends in Europe have told us not to visit, for we will be “targeted “.
