I understand part of Downing Street is being closed off by police, so it won't be possible to get directly to Parliament Square from Trafalgar Square, or vice versa?


ETA: Sorry, obviously I meant Whitehall!

There is a petition calling for the police to reverse that decision: https://www.change.org/p/metropolitan-police-let-protesters-march-against-trump-on-4th-june?recruiter=198717631&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition

They would not need to close the whole of Whitehall, Dulwich Fox, and were not intending to.


Not from what I understand, anyway.


ETA: My understanding was that they were going to block off part of the middle so that demonstrators could not gather near the entrance to Downing Street, and also could not walk down Whitehall directly between Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square, but would have to go a longer way round.

Not before Khan was disrespectful to Trump- Khan is taking the visit as a great opportunity for electioneering...


And in reply to ZT...Trump was elected many people obviously supported his policies and are still happy with them. I am not sure where his decision about the transgender people in the military is coming from but that is for them to decide and I dare say the military have reported on the cost of surgeries and treatment and the disruption to service by transgender soldiers and a decision was made. I do believe that the democrats will jump on anything they can to smear Trump- much like the attitude of the far-left in the UK ...after all that is the nature of the filthy world of politics...and at the end of the day 'we' all love an endless supply of cheap labour- it kind of fits in with 'I want that and I want it NOW'

Wrong on all counts. You appear to be a Trump supporter and notice the way you slip in your view on transgender and the military. Also your use of the word "filthy". All round depressing.

Ooo... We shouldn't take things out of context.


Trump openly tweeted:


"Sadiq Khan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly 'nasty' to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me.


Kahn reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job - only half his height.


In any event, I look forward to being a great friend to the United Kingdom, and am looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now."


I completely agree with him because he's right.

You wont find the far-left boycotting anyone of colour. It wouldn't support their narrative of being anti-racist. :)


Takes me back to a very interesting "debate". This gave me the tickles.

The truth & reality of the situation is that the UK will be leaving the EU - that is what the majority of Britain voted for. Whilst those who voted remain are busy doing this




or storming the streets like the sore losers that they are, the fact still stands that we are due to leave the EU, so I'm curious to know whether they've been spending any of the past 2 years productively thinking of ways to help themselves.


I take it the far-left are more comfortable with a hard-Brexit than they make out to be, given that they're chasing away our greatest ally.

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      By malumbu · Posted

      What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.

      I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"

      Melbourne Tyres closed down

      Can't help thinking that regardless of whether Joe wanted to be interviewed, the 'story' that Southwark News wanted to write just got a lot less interesting with 'tyre shop replaced with ... tyre shop'!

      Labour are proposing to nationalise the railways, (passenger trains but not fright)  Whilst it removes them from shareholders control, and potential profit chasing, is it workable or will it end up costing tax payers more in the long run?  On paper the idea is interesting but does it also need the profitable freight arm included to help reduce fares,?
