"Hail Caesar"

Why is the Government falling over backwards and genuflecting to Trump on his three-day visit next month? Why is he being treated like Royalty? Or is it ‘Hail Caesar’
It will cost millions for the 10.000 officers including Sharp Shooters, Riot Police, as well as his own entourage of USA Secret Service men all armed.

Is he going to give back in kind, the value of this huge financial cost in Trade Agreements with the USA?

This is in a time of increased criminal activity, no wonder criminals steal for a living and laugh at the British Police.

Priorities by the Government are so wrong many times.

Re: "Hail Caesar"

You're right there Muddy, after hosting the likes of Mugabe who could complain about the leader of the free world, whatever you think of him personally.

I agree with Muddy & Barry.

We're quick enough to roll out the red carpet to the Saudi's & Chinese etc.
Where are all the snowflake lefty protesters when they come over?

Re: "Hail Caesar"

For those of you familiar with the excellent Band of Brothers TV series, there's a soldier on there passed over for promotion and who resented the person who he was passed over for. In one scene, this person refused to salute to his now superior officer. The officer said "You aren't saluting the man, you are saluting the rank"

This is the same kind of situation for Trump. He may be a complete petulant tit not worthy of our respect, but it's the office of The President of the United States that should be respected.

....But it's ok to roll out the red carpet and suck up to the Saudi's / Chinese etc with their appalling human rights?

Other than that - he's putting his country first.
Something our namby pamby lot could learn from.

Hi

As far as I am aware he has not cynically murdered innocent women and children here in the UK by placing random bombs.

Unlike the IRA you boasted you were proud to meet.

That is double standards.

Trump is no friend of the UK, he has ended the Special Relationship with his protectionist Tariffs.

He is however POTUS and should be treated as such.
