This isn't a good idea. The King is a diplomat and will humiliate himself if that's what the country and Ukraine need him to do.
The Queen will claim to have something infectious.
The people will be even more angry and insulting towards him than they were the last time.
What is the point Kier?
Bit of a wait and see what happens situation for me. I think a state visit is pretty meaningless - however, in Trump world, this is the big shiny panini sticker. If we get what we want out of it for what boils down to a badge...I feel that's decent diplomacy
Pancake Politics! Trump flips quicker than you can say …let’s eat!
….Queen Elizabeth saw GW Bush/B.Obama and Trump. Now Trump is racking up visit 2 & a huge waste of money (go figure). When all else (reason/intelligence) fails-give Trump something to brag about to Putin
I’ll keep my promise and vote to bring Starmer down. Wrong to put the King of Canada through that whilst the country is under a clear & present threat from the USA. And for the UK, after Jan 6th and voting with Russia at the UN, this demeans the monarchy in the same way as the Ceaușescu state visit.
Recent protests have been single issue (Free Palestine, Just Stop Oil, Farmers, Fuck the Refugees, whatever), but the loathing for Trump unites so many people. A lot of (but not all) Reform supporters will be happy to stick their noses up his orange arse, but I think this could be different.
The Mango Mussolini (stole this from another poster very apt) convicted felon wouldn’t pass the criteria to get into his own country using their ESTA. Why the hell should he be allowed here let alone wasting tax payers money on the pomp and ceremony on offer.
Yep, but when was the last time Trump visited his golf courses? Don’t get me wrong, if Scotland misses out on a Trump visit then I’m pleased for her, BUT you Scots would really know how to ‘give him the bird, rather than a birdie.’ Bring it on I say, make Janey Godley proud brother.
Do you think he will take steps against Canada, when a state visit to Canada's King has been offered?
If you were a King, would you humiliate yourself for a country of which you are head of state?
This is a truly nauseating meeting . How the fuck can this rapist, felon be invited by Charles for a second state visit, when he is decimating our world . And Starmer is fawning to this horrendous piece of shite . 🤮
I’m beginning to think , and i maybe miles off the mark, but i’m really wondering if Starmer is also compromised by Putin ?.. What other reason would there be for Starmer not taking us back into the EU ?… he has never explained why not . Why is this meeting with Trump so nauseating.
The things the world has to do to appease this monstrous man. For the security of the world, diplomacy dictates that Trump is accepted by our government and our King.
Shameful - we need to boo Trump from the moment he lands to the second he leaves. The monarchy is a disgrace grovelling to this lying, rapist and convicted felon. We should be arresting him for his video Gaza sur Med supporting war crimes in Gaza - not giving him a state visit.
Royal slum landlord & tax payer leech invites US slum landlord and tax payer leech for dinner.
The nonce Brother is excited to see Don again and swap old Epstein stories.
I think anyone who protests should have the Janey sign writ large. What a sight that would be! 100,000 people in London with “Trump is a cunt” signs. The tv coverage would be fantastic to watch.
I'll defo be channelling Janey G.
But I suspect you'll find the tv coverage disappointing. Protests in the uk don't tend to make the telly (unless we have a fucktonne of tractors)
Rumps last visit to the UK was embarrassing enough. Disrespected the Queen. Looked like he was dressed up for a costume party etc. This is far more serious. rump has no respect for other countries and cares only for himself. I assume acting president Musk will go along and assert his power.
Dear Donald, sorry old chap made a spelling mistake, bloody pen! It's not a state visit, it's a slate visit, trip to a disused slate mine in Wales, fascinating place, you might even want to develop it into a golf course! Apologies, Charles [King].
PS. Wear some safety boots, hellish slippery.
Realpolitik and I think he played it well. Buttered him up, played on his monarchic ambitions and, was Trump a bit blind-sided? No matter how we view Trump the US is (for the moment) the biggest player in town. Distasteful is part of politics.
I'm gonna meet the King. And he's a really great guy, he's a genius. An' this time I'm gonna ride in that gold coach down the Mall, cos his Mom never let me do that, don't know why. I guess she was just old and a woman. But this King, he's great, he's a genius. The British people love me.
Betting within two weeks Trump will announce tariffs against the UK and the gov are going to be too spineless to cancel the visit and Starmer will just have to sit there at a state banquet and stew.
King Charles III is head of state of Canada. Why is he inviting a hostile President for a State Visit? One who is threatening economic warfare on a country he is King of. Disgusted by this acquiescence and appeasement.

Rolling out the Royal carpet for someone who wants to fuck us over sideways.
Starmer's made some mistakes but I don't think he'll recover from this.
Dribbling cockwomble
Trump has a weak spot for the Royal Family and the monarchy.
Frankly at the moment if Trump kissing the royal fundament is the price we have to pay for national preferment then so be it.
Imagine what he’d do to become Lord Trump of New York.

….but I’m more special..😂
If you were a King, would you humiliate yourself for a country of which you are head of state?
No self respect left ☹️
If there was ever a single point in history to show the decline of Great Britain's standing in the world this is it.
Grovelling to a moron and pandering to his Royal fetishism is just bizarre and morally indefensible.
Turnips at Dawn??

Poor Charles.

No second state visit for Trump
We, the British public, demand that you immediately cancel the offer of a second state visit for Donald Trump.
