GWB is going to visit GB

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

The policing for GWB's state visit to the UK is going to cost 4 million and they want parts of london shut down for the entire visit.

IS HE F***ING CRAZY who in their right minds would do ecomonic damage for a lousey US state visit. The Mayor of London said no so nothing of the sort is going to happen.


did anyone else know this one : London's attractiveness to a terrorist attack has been moved to medium status. The rest of the UK is still at Low along with the US

4 million? Got a link for how they came to that conclusion? Shutting down half of london is crazy. They don't shut down DC or New York when leaders from other countries come here.

I doubt very much whether the security spooks from other countries would demand it.Not every world leader is as big a target for terrorism as GWB.

article about visit

ps 20,000 people from the 'stop the war coalition' are going to be protesting

footnote last state visit was China police used vehicles and officers to block protesters banners and posters so they wouldn't see them. Same thing is supposed to be organised for GWB's visit.

footnote #2 alot of anti-americanism is going around.

footnote #3 palace security was breached easily :

UK WOMAN BURNS UPSIDE DOWN AMERICAN FLAG WHICH ALSO HAS GRAFFITTI ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THIS IS THE WARM UP ACCORDING TO THE STOP THE WAR COALITION

-----------------------------------------
Dear Mr President, Today you arrive in my country for the first state visit by an American president for many decades, and I bid you welcome. You will find yourself assailed on every hand by some pretty pretentious characters collectively known as the British left. They traditionally believe they have a monopoly on morality and that your recent actions preclude you from the club. You opposed and destroyed the world's most blood-encrusted dictator. This is quite unforgivable. I beg you to take no notice. The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon the buttock of a rather good country. Seventy years ago it opposed mobilisation against Adolf Hitler and worshipped the other genocide, Josef Stalin. It has marched for Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Andropov. It has slobbered over Ceausescu and Mugabe. It has demonstrated against everything and everyone American for a century. Broadly speaking, it hates your country first, mine second. Eleven years ago something dreadful happened. Maggie was ousted, Ronald retired, the Berlin wall fell and Gorby abolished communism. All the left's idols fell and its demons retired. For a decade there was nothing really to hate. But thank the Lord for his limitless mercy. Now they can applaud Saddam, Bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il... and hate a God-fearing Texan. So hallelujah and have a good time.

What is he going to do in England? Doesn't he realize that he has to take care of things more important than having a tea party with with the british Prime Minister? George! You've got to do you're homework before you can go out and play! (Maybe his parents should exercise better control over their son?)

its an embarassment seriously. The same thing happened when china visited. Do they honestly think they'll make a difference

+ it gives an excuse to those FUCKTARDS called anti-capitalists to create an international incident.

PS Bush needs to wake up and smell the coffee he's not making friends quick.

On another note Left wing party members in America have critised GWB for destroying the international rapor that so many presidents before GWB built up before him.

GWB also said something about bringing Democracy and Peace to the world. Honestly he's starting to sound like a communist because his actions are more or less the opposite but whilst the outcome might actually back the above statement the present problem does not.

GWB's presidency will be a very black one... :shakeshead: It's amazing how one man can not only divide a nation, but turn the whole world against us.

Is GWB not too worry to sleep so near from Prince Charles?

Otherwise isn't the U.S election next year? I just hope he doesn't get re-elected. How can somebody pissed off so much people in such a short time?

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

George Bush is only going to be spending 2 hours talking to Tony Blair

o yea he's supposed to visit the families of british soldiers killed in Iraq. OOOOOOOOO MY GOD he must be nuts.

At least we know now that when Charles takes the throne,the words to the English national anthem will not need to be changed.

Did anyone else see the Daily Mirror story on palace security?Apparently,a journalist was able to pose as a royal footman for TWO MONTHS,and could have continued the decption for longer had he not decided to break the story.
