I was surprised to hear from the POTUS that London will be adopting Sharia Law.  And how bad London, and the rest of the country, has become.

 

Every time Trump opens his mouth something stupid or racist or both comes out of it, so I'm surprised you are surprised!

Sadiq Khan has done a lot for London. Good on him for not responding to the Orange One, but a pity nobody else has (to the best of my knowledge).

Sadiq Khan has indeed responded calling Trump "racist, sexist, misogynistic and islamophobic."

So agree @Sue every time Trump opens his mouth. torrents of ignorance spew out.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that.

I await the White House's response with interest!

Which Trump thread to choose.  But I’ll pick this one

to say

some of us were called hysterical for calling out Trump for what he is and what he would do. If we posted something like this a couple of years ago we would be laughed at as unserious

It amazes me how little outrage there actually is. The US is very clearly, and very quickly falling into autocracy.

And as noted above, there are an alarming number in the UK who appear to support the direction the US is taking.

Yup. At best I have people who detest Trump shrugging and saying something like “what ya gonna do?” Like that is any kind of answer

what we gonna do is condemn, and watch out for same happening here - and watch out for all the handmaidens who would allow this to happen.  Apologists for Farage, Jenrick etc

NO TYRANTS 2: RALLY AND LAUNCH OF “HUMAN WRITE #___”

18 OCT 2025, 1-3pm @ US EMBASSY LONDON, 33 Nine Elms Lane, London SW11 7US

We rose up once, and on October 18 we’ll rise again—because one protest isn’t enough to protect our democracy.

As the American president, Donald Trump, escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO TYRANTS nonviolent movement continues to grow stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: the world has no use for an American tyrant king, and the power belongs to the people.

Our first No Tyrants protest on June 14th gathered nearly 1000 people outside the US Embassy in London—a show of solidarity that proved the strength of our movement. Now, on Saturday, October 18th, we’re holding our second international No Tyrants protest—because this isn’t about one day, it’s about building a movement that lasts.

On October 18th, come join us as we launch the world premiere of a new project!

“HUMAN WRITE #____” is a protest installation spanning two continents. We're raising our collective voices to send messages directly to the White House. Forget AI, social media and the world of algorithms and influencers. HUMAN WRITE #____ is about real people getting their message across one letter at a time.

How does it work?

- Participants will be offered a blank card and a seat at one of the many typewriters displayed.

- Write your personal protest message to Donald Trump — exercising your right to free speech.

- Sign your card "Human Write" instead of your name (to protect your privacy).

- Your card will be numbered and photographed for a digital archive, and then sent to Washington DC, where a group will hand-deliver thousands of messages from around the world.

Multiple international locations will be participating on 18 Oct and beyond, creating a flood of messages from around the world to Washington DC.

Everyone is welcome. If you can, bring a friend!


On October 18, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones and no crowns for a wannabe tyrant king! Join us for the launch of this special project and hear inspiring speakers at NO TYRANTS 2.

A core principle behind all of our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events."
