I don't actually think it was a case of poor anything. The same as all the people taking to the streets because they did not like the result of the referendum, the same with the election results, then the same with a new president overseas.....i just think that many are fed up with all these "trumped" up protests and just wanted to oppose yet another petition from those that are continuously upset with democratic results etc.

Some random blog which also features articles titled "Why people snore and how to stop snoring" and the classic "Cure for perverted sex".

The right to express yourself freely and peaceful protest are a fundamental part of democracy whether you believe them to be trumped up or not.

Because of Boxing Day
How is Bexit being imposed when around 35% of the electorate in the UK have voted for it democratic? And how is Trump winning with 4 million fewer votes than Clinton democratic? India and Iran are considerably more democratic than the UK and USA.

The petition wasn't about objecting to democracy, it was about a state visit. These are normally afforded after a period of reflection based on the relationship between that individual and our country.
Not because we're desperate
I certainly don't

At least 2 weeks.
I was just replying to the "poor snowflakes" comment when a petition is put up that the liberals do not like.
As you say a "fundamental part of democracy"....... just like the referendum result.
I thought you would be pleased to see another annoying person at the Palace.

This.
I look at the wall like a front door. I have one too.
I don't lock my front door because I hate those outside it, I lock it because I love those inside.
Oh sorry, nothing to do with the fact that you don't like him, you did not want him to run a country overseas, he has a dodgy haircut etc then.
Because more voted for Brexit than voted for remain, that's kind of how these things work. The fact millions could not be arsed to vote is their problem.
Is the correct answer.

I may not like him but whilst he bans people from his country I don't want him banned from ours. Just don't want us (to quote Joe Strummer) ti be sending a limo anyway

how about because it wont do anything much? we have a 50 mile moat yet still the immigrant come in. its not even a big problem, the numbers are fewer than immigrants into the UK - tens of thousands cross the mexican border, not hundreds of thousands. and mostly they'll do work that others dont want to do, post wall there'll undoubtedly be a visa programme for agricultrual and other lower end works to go into the US. im most looking forward to the stories of thousands of Mexicans working on the wall.
