This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Traitor Trump will spend the entire night trying to spin his disastrous Oval Office ambush stunt into a political win. Zelenskyy is a war hero. Trump is an all-time zero.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

The Bibby Stockholm is being towed away. You paid at least £33m just to hire this piece of crap for 18 months. It isn't even worth £100m. That's how ripoff Capitalism works.
