Thousands of people will protest today and over this week against Theresa May rolling out the red carpet for Donald Trump.
Even though over 1.8 million people signed a petition against Trump being given a state visit to Britain only last year, the increasingly isolated Prime Minister has put on a visit for Trump which is a state visit in all but name, with a meeting with the Queen included in the itinerary.
Once Trump has left, we can be sure that the Tories will carry on outsourcing our foreign policy and security to the erratic White House administration, joining in with military actions such as the recent bombing of Syria. Indeed, even before Trump arrived on these shores, the government was announcing the sending of more British troops to back up the US in Afghanistan in a war which has been going on since 2001 with seemingly no end in sight.
