He'll have insisted on it just to give us a trade deal. We'll have to appease his ego just to get one.
Really sickening stuff. Shameful how weak we're being.
I don't want a trade deal with the US. No good can come of it. I've seen what normal sensible US administrations put in their trade deals, what this lot will put in with a desperate Tory government in power should make anyone shudder.

Caption will be 'The only documented instance of a Tory helping someone with a mental disability'.
Didn't you vote to leave?

To the people who always like to come into threads saying 'petitions/protesting is ridiculous and a waste of time' - fuck you!
While the people who voted for trump and the tories should take blame, a lot should also go to you people who are constantly downplaying people's efforts to fight against this horrible shit and also downplaying the clear signs that if left unchecked things are going to get worse and move even closer to some right wing dystopia.
It's the vast swath of people who refuse to fight or belittle the choice to fight who allow shit to get as far as it does and between brexit and trumps victories I honestly am starting to hate those people more than the right.

Medicine and food standards, and general consumer protection standards are all done for.
The NHS is definitely dead.
Petition to stop Trump state visit exceeds 100,000 signatures meaning it will have to be debated in parliament.

No it doesn't. It means it's considered for debate.

Wait until you only get 1 week off a year to compete with people from Trumpland.

I have trouble sympathizing with Corbyn at this point personally, but think about how fucked up that is. If you try defend the 48% you're regarded as the enemy of the country. We're literally being forced not to fight our own corner. Fascism has basically won over here, and the media and the public are what enabled it.

Our Foreign Secretary, even if it is Boris Johnson, groveling to a Nazi fuck like Bannon. Unbelievable.
What makes it worse is it was only actually about 32% of the population overall that voted for leave.
Fair enough some people didn't vote, but when nearly 30% of the country voted to remain, is it still right to leave, especially in a hard fashion? People don't care about us.
The vocal people are the people who voted to leave. They're protesting outside of parliment to make us leave quicker. I don't think we're doing enough to make our voices heard.
If you think Corbyn is opportunistic and doesn't care you obviously have no idea. This was a guy who protested apartheid in he 80s ffs. You need to get a grip.
There is a protest march to Parliament against Hard Brexit on the 25th of March iirc, get out there!

Corbyn said he wants to prevent Trump from coming on a state visit.

Guess he's not a fan of M.C. Escher then...
Isn't that long after the horses have bolted?
It's the weekend before the governments self-imposed article 50 deadline. I imagine the organisers have chosen that date to get maximum media attention
Ah, I thought it was start of play March.

This is absurd. What about other people? What is this.
Absurd.
Absurd.
Way to go, Boris. Taking back all that control. Christ almighty.

Any more details on this? If I'm going to buy train tickets, I wouldn't want to miss the start/arrive in the wrong part of london.
I am still confused as to why would it matter if they come from those countries or from UK.
Like, if someone has planned to go home and then go in US, he/she will have to come back to UK first and then fly again to US... sigh.
UK and US leading the world is shaping to be a huge clusterfuck.
Also: 100m deal with Turkey? Everyday is a new low..

Get used to Bannon rogering the UK in future.
There was an article on the Grauniads site the other day, but I haven't looked into the march more beyond that as there's no way I'd be able to attend that weekend

Seems a bit pointless to have this march after article 50 has been invoked.
Starts at 11 am apparently. More info can be found on the guardian.
Well Boris is the Foreign Minister for the British government. Do you honestly expect him to start negotiating deals on behalf of other nation states? That isn't how it works.
Fascism? Do you not mean democracy? Because that is what caused this.
I didn't think there was a date set in stone beyond Mays deliberately vague "by the end of March"?

Well I read recently that EU leaders are desperate for May to invoke Article 50 before 25th March so that it doesn't overshadow their 60th anniversary celebrations.
So unless May really wants to cut her nose to spite her face, expect it to take place before 25th March.

Can't find it for Googling, but now we have dates set for the article 50 bill, I think we may have an estimation of when they're aiming for Lords and then Royal Ascent?

lol.
Crazy. I mean aren't there parts of the UK that the police are scared to go to??
Edit: First one I found with an awkwardly phrased search:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/p...cers-are-afraid-for-their-lives-a6765026.html
The cynic in me says she'll do exactly the opposite then. Frankly my brain is still struggling to make peace with the fact it's happening, no doubt there will be some relief when they finally get around to negotiating rather than this awful limbo.
I think protesting article 50 itself is a bit of a waste of time at this point, but there's nothing wrong with going against the idea that a vote to leave the EU was a vote to leave the single market entirely

Nobody wants to go near the house of parliament.
edit: You just posted a link to a website that starts the headline with "Donald Trump claims ..."
The article then has the (at the time) prime minister say he is flat out wrong, the current mayor of london calling him a Nazi, and a scottish MP also condemning him. I'm not saying there aren't parts of london police don't go in, maybe there are, but that article isn't what I'd use to justify the position.

The point is how Trump is contradicting himself.

They need to stop framing it as though it is a victory.
