Giant 'Trump Baby' could fly over London for president's visit

 

Plans to fly a giant inflatable figure depicting Donald Trump as a baby over London during the US president's visit have been approved.

Mr Trump is due to meet Theresa May at 10 Downing Street next Friday.

Campaigners raised almost £18,000 for the helium-filled six-metre high figure, which they said reflects Mr Trump's character as an "angry baby with a fragile ego and tiny hands".

London Mayor Sadiq Khan gave permission for the balloon to fly.

The White House has been approached for comment.

On Twitter former UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the plan was "the biggest insult to a sitting US President ever".

 

Leo Murray, who is behind the crowdfunded idea, said: "[Mr Trump] really seems to hate it when people make fun of him.

"So when he visits the UK on Friday, we want to make sure he knows that all of Britain is looking down on him and laughing at him.

"That's why a group of us have chipped in and raised enough money to have a six-metre high blimp made by a professional inflatables company, to be flown in the skies over Parliament Square during Trump's visit."

A statement on behalf of the London mayor said he "supports the right to peaceful protest and understands that this can take many different forms".

After meeting with the organisers of the Trump Baby, Mr Khan's city operations team gave them permission to "use Parliament Square Garden as a grounding point for the blimp".

 

Mr Khan and Mr Trump have repeatedly clashed on Twitter, including in the aftermath of the London Bridge attack.

Before the figure can take off, campaigners will also need permission from the National Air Traffic Service (NATS) as the project constitutes a "non-standard flight in controlled airspace", a spokesperson said.

Because Parliament Square sits within restricted airspace, additional approvals are also needed from the Metropolitan Police.

 

Max Wakefield, who is one of the people working on the project, said the group is "confident it will obtain all necessary permits".

He said the initial crowdfunding target was just £1,000, but this was reached within 24 hours.

The extra cash will now be used to send the balloon on a "world tour" and "haunt" Mr Trump wherever he goes, he added.

The Met has been approached for a comment.

In the post truth world what does that matter,

Then what the Hell were they talking about in Singapore?

Scott Pruitt has resigned as head of the Environmental Protection Agency (a job he should never have been appointed to in the first place, as he's a climate change denier and an enemy of environmental regulations, financially in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry) not because of the rolling-back of environmental protection during his tenure, but because of a series of expenses scandals.

I think the massive balloon response is on Trump's level and the correct response to a narcissist with the attention span of a gnat.

British democracy at its finest.

He's having a fit over Nato spending. About to hold an unscheduled Press Conference, no doubt to have a whinge that NATO aren't buying American Weapons or Gas.

 

Edit: Nope its to state that everyone has agreed to spend more.

And one by one they'll release statements claiming no such thing.

[M_B]

Yeah I'm waiting to hear what they say, particularly from Germany. The original agreement was to increase to 2% by 2024, so it'll be interesting to see if Merkel has agreed to meet that target early.

 

He used the conference to threaten tariffs on EU cars, which obviously would affect Germany too.

 

Oh and he says Brexit should be Brexit, so May will be happy.

[Rico1304]

Labour support the 2% and aren’t against increasing it.

[M_B]

Trump wants it to be 4%, but I am not sure anyone has agreed to that yet. The UK meets the 2% target at the moment.

The Shadow Defence sec has just been on C4 saying we have to keep to the 2% at least and they’ll take the recommendation of an upcoming report if it needs increasing.

[Anny Road]

The man is a tool but some of his actions should be judged on merit and reasoning.

He told the US people he would no longer pay the substantial costs of NATO at almost double the GDP 3.6% of its nearest contributor, the UK 2.1%

That’s 700m compared to 60m. They agreed and voted for him now he demanding others make up the difference. He is not invading Europe just asking them to pay for their own defence.

The US has contributed more in terms of cash and lives to the defence of Europe. I think it is fair that this is balanced up.

 

The whole idea of protests against his visit is a fucking embarrassment. You don’t salute the officer you salute the office. Flying balloons around because we don’t like the democratic opinion of an powerful allie makes us look ridiculous.

Look forward to the protest when the Saudis, the Chinese, the Russians, the Israelis, the Venezuelans etc pay us a visit.

Hypocritical twats.

It meets the 2% target using some pretty creative accounting, it must be said.

Hypocritical twats.

There always are protests whenever foreign leaders attend. The Trump one will be bigger than most because there is so much to protest against.

 

As for NATO, the UK and EU should call his bluff. It's a tool of US imperialism, which exists to further their interests, not ours. Europe should have binned it 28 years ago.
