Why we should let the spoilt bigot speak

 The US president visiting London on Friday is expected to face a huge crowd that will convey extremely rowdily their distaste of his inhuman, utterly selfish, and I’m-alright-Jack politics. It could be the largest unwelcome crowd Britain has seen.

And like very many Britons, I’m wondering what I can do that might add to the greatest impression

on a fellow who personally seems to have everything – wealth, health, ever trinket imaginable – and yet offers the world nothing but disdain.

Should adding to the vociferous Boo to the West End uproar be sufficient?

Should I turn up with a placard to make my disdain seem even more obvious?

Unspeakable acts of brutality

The Green Party, it seems, is summoning a combined voice in Fitzroy Square, London, a couple of blocks from the BT Tower.

An email from the Green Party’s Sheffield mayor, Magid Magid, doing the rounds states, ‘You know why we’re doing this. He trashes climate action. He normalises sexual assault.

'He commits the most unspeakable acts of brutality at his borders.

‘He is a dangerous man. And we have to resist him. As a Green,’ says Magid, ‘I’m proud to fight for gender equality and climate action. I’m proud to stand up for freedom of movement. I’m proud to say that refugees and migrants are welcome here.’

Standing up to hate

All very powerful, but an interesting and thoughtful note is pinned to the Green Party's Facebook page. It comes from one Cyril Zeldine. He writes,‘If we are standing up to hate (and we should) then hatred of Donald Trump is not helpful either.’ Continues on the blogs for my ocean adventure book, Sailing to Purgatory, at SailingToPurgatory.com
