But London has over 8 million people, and millions more aren't very far away.
It is a work day.

Speaking of people making themselves felt, I'm hope, hope, hoping that the huge Trump/Murdoch/Putin attack on Theresa May backfires badly on them and the rest of the white nationalists.

His comments were part of his most brutally honest verdict yet on Britain, in an interview with The Sun which also saw him:

Accuse EU leaders of destroying its culture and identity by allowing in millions of migrants
Tear into London Mayor Sadiq Khan for not standing up to terrorists and blame him for spiralling crime in the capital
Insist former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson would make “a great Prime Minister”
Deny once branding Theresa May a “bossy schoolteacher”
Speak of his sadness at feeling unwelcome in the capital by anti-Trump protestersand claim millions of Brits backed his policies
And told of his pride at taking wife Melania to meet the Queen


this comment got me. too fucking bad. You POS.

Speak of his sadness at feeling unwelcome in the capital by anti-Trump protesters and claim millions of Brits backed his policies.

backed his policies?????? delusional POS he is.

it was during Gaza protests a few years ago.

We were tourists and we walked to the subway station and there was no way we could get to it. There were thousands of protesters blocking all the roads nearby. I think it was a march though no one was moving much.

Anyway, part of the crowd were a bunch of Muslim women chanting "Death to Israel."

So I asked them how I could get to the tourist districts with all these protesters around. They gave me a look, and then one lady started explaining to me in the coolest British accent that if I walked that way for a little bit then I'd come across another subway station that isn't on the protest rout and if I changed trains once I could get downtown.

I aid thanks, she smiled, and then went back to shouting "Death to Israel" with her friends. One of those travel stories you remember kindly.
