Just read something on Twitter that made my head spin.

Somebody was arguing that because only a few hundred people turned out to protest Erdogan when he visited the UK and many more people will likely turn out to protest Trump, it apparently shows that "anger over Trump is mostly false or I'll informed or worse, simply cheap and nasty if people like Erdogan are ignored".

I don't even know how to start computing this. Is it impossible to object or disagree with many things/people but choose to protest in person about a few? Does the fact that I have only marched over Brexit and the Iraq war mean that I don't care about other issues or that my reasons for supporting those protests are invalid because I don't march against FGM or power abuses in Zimbabwe?

When I read opinions like this my brain blows a fuse. How can this muddling of equivalency and perversion of logic be an opinion that an actual adult human being has?

Parklife!

What about Erdogan !?

Isn’t Roger Waters touring UK arenas at the moment with a Floydian inflate-o-swine? Perhaps he could be persuaded to fly it over Battersea Power Station at the same time, as a gammony salute.

The president said: “No, no, I’m not a racist. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed, that I can tell you.”

it isn't known if he went on to say " some of my best friends are mexicans / asians / black "

t-3 and counting
thursdays gonna be very busy in central london

World cup hangovers could blunt the turn out...

or could fuel the rioting

keep it peaceful out there folks

Is that the Gettysburg address?

One for the ages

two sea kings and 3 ospreys spotted. landed at ambassador residence. is he here already?

I imagine that those are full of protestor suppression professionals.

I think it's a 'dummy run'(pun intended!)

And they were blackhawks! They've just gone into stansted

If Theresa is gone before Friday, then he's just come over for a cuppa with Liz and a round of golf?

We'll have installed Farrage as PM by then and he's already playing gold with him in Scotland, so it all works out well.

They've just left stansted again....

jesus...

Nuke it from space

Is there a beer garden? Frozen sausage time

Trump's doing his charm offensive before he arrives
