"I can understand americans protesting there president but why would the rest of the world protest him he aint there president" Maybe because his policies may affect them, maybe they don't agree with his morals, they could have a whole host of reasons... So you can only criticise someone from your own country then? Mrs x | |||

"This is also happening in London, Paris, Brussels and probably elsewhere. Are those demonstrating woke and if not, why not?" A simple and prime example of TDS, I know it's wrong to laugh at people with TDS, but I can't help myself.  | |||

Mrs x" Whilst anyone is free to demonstrate against people and actions from another country, I don’t think it generally achieves that much. I appreciate the fact that I am in a country where individuals can do this if they wish though. | |||

Eventually cost her her job which was a very good thing. Over 1 million people demonstrated against the Iraq invasion, including me. We were right, Blair, Gove and the Tories agitating for an illegal war were wrong. Trump's state visit, if it happens, may be limited to Scotland because a couple of million of us will want to wish him well in London not. Politicians in power only care about two things: being voted out and civil unrest. Do not underestimate the power of the people. | |||

" What have the Palestine marches achieved with regard to the ongoing situation in that region of the world, that’s right, nothing. Did the marches in protest of the Iraq invasion prevent the Iraq invasion, no, they didn’t. | |||

"I can understand americans protesting there president but why would the rest of the world protest him he aint there president" You just had a 10% tax slapped on your exports…. I think people should protest outside the US embassy if they feel that strongly… I see nothing wrong with that! | |||

"Woke is connected to isms. I do not believe we have a tradism" Woke is all about being aware of injustice, and having a 10% tariff imposed on us for no reason is unjust. Still no point in protesting though. Our politicians can't do anything about it, and Trump doesn't care what we think. | |||

I would say injustice regarding the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010. Otherwise we'll be using woke when we're too lazy to think of a more apt word. | |||

" Woke is all about being aware of injustice, and having a 10% tariff imposed on us for no reason is unjust. ." There is a reason, the Americans believe it will help protect their home markets from foreign goods and thus support home industry. Whether that will happen remains to be seen, just because the reason doesn’t suit you in this country doesn’t mean there isn’t a reason. | |||

"I do feel a lot of people are driven by the emotiveness Trump creates through the media fanfare rather than facts. " You mean the fact he's crashing the worlds finances and thus made the average person poorer? | |||

I thought you would be aware that market fluctuations don’t automatically lead to short term impact on the average person. Are you seeing something different? | |||
