Good men and women went to war to defend us from the cancer that was fascism. Many of them made the ultimate sacrifice. It's time to ask if we're doing enough to protect the next generation.
You are correct Susan. What I would say is the King is no shrinking violet, he has decades of diplomatic experience and we may be surprised by his willingness to speak his mind, but in a diplomatic way
King Charles should be ashamed to have this Pedo , His own Brother Andrew was pulled from Royal duties by his own Mother the Late Queen Elizabeth for having been friends with Epstein and the UK for kissing his Ass. Lost all Respect for you Charles your Mother wouldn't be Proud of you.
It was not his call Michael. You and I are on the same page, but let’s see the outcome. The king is a skilled diplomat not shy about speaking his mind.
You are sadly mistaken! Charles removed him from ALL royal duties and infact, cut him off from being paid as well. No, no, no! Charles did not approve and in fact mocked trump at a military parade, preforming “YANKY DOODLE DANDY”, inferring that Trump is play acting 🎭 as a king and is incompetent for the purpose!🫷🏻
Sadly maybe that's what you think ,but Queen Elizabeth Andrews Mother did that not Prince Charles did not remove him from Royal Duties. She was the Ruling Power and was Very Embarrassed with that Relationship.
I agree with you that the 👸 undoubtedly, and very sadly (since he was her favorite) she had to institute the proceedings. I believe that Charles upheld her will and decision in the matter.
As an American, let me just say how sorry I am that your nation is being forced to entertain the criminal clown. And although as an American I have no right to ask for favors, you and your countrymen would be doing us a great service if you could lock him in a high tower somewhere and lose the key. 😁 He is, after all, an international war criminal. Without provocation or evidence, he's been murdering fishermen off the coast of Venezuela. He is funding a genocide in Gaza. He is responsible for many civilian deaths in Ukraine because he broke a promise made by America and is spreading Russian lies along with his own. He's just an all around despicable being. Maybe once you have him in the tower, you can call the ICC and they can take him off your hands? 🤷♀️
Thank you for summing up exactly how I feel. As a Brit, I am ashamed that he's even allowed to visit, not the least get the welcome that he's received from the royal family. It's disgraceful to treat this sad excuse of a man with this kind of welcome. I'm ashamed to be English today.
Please don’t be ashamed. Trust that the traitor forced this on you. Imagine how embarrassed and horrified we are that we sent you these two prizes for dinner. Only first lady we’ve all seen naked. Classy, right?
That the UK invited Trump for a state visit—complete with all the pomp and circumstance state visit provides—legitimatizes everything Trump is doing: from using our military against our citizens to removing funds from scientific research to gracing his cabinet with sycophants completely unequal to the jobs they’ve been given to stifling the news media to….the list goes on and on. Your prime minister is an idiot if he thinks Trump is on board for a quid pro quo.
I don’t disagree with you Elizabeth, I do though think we should maybe circle back later because don’t underestimate the King’s ability to be persuasive on matters like Ukraine.
Perhaps. But Trump can easily say anything to the King and then do whatever he wishes or is told to do by Putin. Remember: the King actually cares about people’s welfare. Trump cares only about Trump and amassing money…for Trump.
Truth Matters... Thanks for your article, spot on...
However, whilst King George "may care about people's welfare" and have the ability to be "persuasive on matters like Ukraine", I doubt that Trump will give 2 second's thought to any of this once he's on his plane home and back working with his White House sycophants - sorry, Administration - on the next stage of their fascist agenda.
Agree, Elizabeth ...legitimatizes AND empowers him to keep doing what he's doing AND go further...
Has the British Govt not learnt from Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler which backfired spectacularly and contributed to WW2?
"Appeasement was a diplomatic policy pursued primarily by Britain and France in the 1930s, most notably by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, to make concessions to aggressive powers, especially Nazi Germany, to prevent war. The Munich Agreement of 1938, which allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia, is the most famous example of this FAILED STRATEGY, which ultimately emboldened Adolf Hitler and contributed to the outbreak of World War II."
The sad thing is that the British government doesn’t understand that they are not going to get anything that’s is going to help their country no matter how they treat him the only thing they are going to get from him is humiliation and destruction.
l wish that the other nations of this world would arrest Putin, Netanayhu and Trump once they leave their own countries and hold Nuremberg trials for them w the International Court presiding. Let them defend themselves and justify their actions to the world without all of their sycophants and stooges surrounding them and propping them up.
True.. We speak of the problem, but await a solution. How do we raise awareness of the facts and danger to those who are living in the alternative world in which liberal views and representative democracy are the evil enemy of their rights and freedom? A world in which they have been led to believe that government has worked against them and is anti people. When the lie becomes the fact, the past efforts of government, even in the people’s best interest are perceived as attempts to harm, what can turn the dystopian tide. When Trump can kill people for a show of strength, his regime tears up the constitution and the precedent of government, have we not been spectators to the end of the American Experiment.
Getting real about what to do, if everyone understood that overshoot is about to swallow up humanity, and it's their life or death, it would be a way to end wars and get cooperation.
Very disappointed in King Charles 111 for doing this. I truly think Queen Elizabeth 11 would not have done this and is disappointed on high.
Charles it's not a good look.
Nobody needs to give djt any courtesy he doesn't deserve it. He's a vile disgusting poor excuse of a human being who only cares about himself. A Convicted Criminal over fraud and bad business dealings along with sexual assault. Not a good person.
We are approaching a cataclysm. The far right has tasted power and wants more. Moderate Republicans have been cowed into silence. The far left has been blind to their own missteps, loosing touch with moderates. Moderate Democrats have failed to see the urgency of the threat. The vast majority of Americans are appalled and confused by the sudden changes, lawlessness of leadership, and cruel rhetoric that fills our newscasts.
Our common bonds of decency and affection are frayed and may not hold. We want neither a coup nor a revolution. We simply want a just and safe society in which to become our best selves. Our similarities are so much greater than our differences.
Canada and Australia should break official ties with Britain over this - that criminal has threatened both countries yet Britain is kissing his a**. At least William and Kathrine looked disgusted.
I absolutely agree, Bonnie... at the very least lodge a formal expression of concern...
A key consideration about all of this is that, in addition to the UK, King Charles is the Sovereign of 14 other countries, being…
Antigua and Barbuda; Australia; The Bahamas; Belize; Canada; Grenada; Jamaica; New Zealand; Papua New Guinea; Saint Kitts and Nevis; Saint Lucia; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; Solomon Islands and Tuvalu.
Speaking as an Australian, I would like to know if King Charles consulted our Prime Minister before arranging and fronting up for this display. As this event was ostensibly put on with the aims of gaining $millions or $billions of financial benefit for the UK at the request of the UK Prime Minister, it is highly likely to ultimately disadvantage us and potentially many or all of the other countries of which he is also King and thus owes significant responsibilities and courtesies.
Certainly Canada has already been a significant victim of Trump so far, even though they have heroically fought back.
All the Pacific Islands are and will continue to be the victim of Trump as he ignores climate change and energetically pushes for more support for the fossil fuel industry, to curb renewable energy and suppress and dismantle climate science, and sea levels continue to rise and threaten those islands survival.
Did King Charles represent any of his other 'realms' in addition to the UK at any time during his time with Trump?
Well, in listening to the part of his speech available in the media, it would appear from what he said that he was, in fact, there representing the UK ONLY. Where that leaves the rest of his 'realm', I'm not sure, however, I suspect that any presumption that he is able to act as King of the UK just for that situation and King of everyone else the rest of the time cannot ever actually be a thing.
SHAME on Charles entertaining a fascist American Hitler/PEDO 😡😡😡😡
Just for clarification. It is NOT the king’s prerogative. He does the bidding of the government.
SO WHY he is a fascist FELON/PEDO.
From what I read, the king does what he is told to do. Shame on the prime minister for entertaining our national embarrassment.
You are correct Susan. What I would say is the King is no shrinking violet, he has decades of diplomatic experience and we may be surprised by his willingness to speak his mind, but in a diplomatic way
cant be diplomatic with an over 5 decades CON man and pathological liar
Charles will be spiky and sharp tongued over every course, but all a waste bc trump is ignorant. A darn shame we can’t hear it.
King Charles should be ashamed to have this Pedo , His own Brother Andrew was pulled from Royal duties by his own Mother the Late Queen Elizabeth for having been friends with Epstein and the UK for kissing his Ass. Lost all Respect for you Charles your Mother wouldn't be Proud of you.

Who in UK government decided this would be a good thing to do? That’s what I want to know.

Nothing would make me happier than if he were to be locked up in the Tower of London. Rest assured of that.
You’re welcome
good idea!
I agree with you. I am embarrassed by who we sent. He should not be honored in any way. He is a traitor.
Thank you for summing up exactly how I feel. As a Brit, I am ashamed that he's even allowed to visit, not the least get the welcome that he's received from the royal family. It's disgraceful to treat this sad excuse of a man with this kind of welcome. I'm ashamed to be English today.

What a stomach turning event for so many in Britain and beyond. A big thank you hug from across the pond to all the protestors.
Shame on Starmer and Charles. They are bowing and scraping. It’s nauseating.
True.. We speak of the problem, but await a solution.

You have absolutely hit the nail on the head Stuart. I had a long conversation with the love of my life on this very subject and we came up blank.
Social media has taken the truth hostage and repurposes it. It’s a terrifying realization that I’m wrestling with.
Getting real about what to do, if everyone understood that overshoot is about to swallow up humanity, and it's their life or death, it would be a way to end wars and get cooperation.
Very disappointed in King Charles 111 for doing this. I truly think Queen Elizabeth 11 would not have done this and is disappointed on high.

Charles didn't have any choice. HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY CHOICE
You are correct
Why?
Elizabeth would have known the correct, yet devastating, slight to him.
Excellent summary of our current state. Sadly.
We are approaching a cataclysm. The far right has tasted power and wants more. Moderate Republicans have been cowed into silence. The far left has been blind to their own missteps, loosing touch with moderates. Moderate Democrats have failed to see the urgency of the threat. The vast majority of Americans are appalled and confused by the sudden changes, lawlessness of leadership, and cruel rhetoric that fills our newscasts.

Really disappointing
