Okay Britain is supposed to love the royal family right? So why is it when Donald Trump comes to visit we have them kowtow to him, even removing all their photos of Obama so as not to upset the special snowflake? Why is he welcomed in after his comments about Diana and Meghan? Like… why are the overtly patriotic crowd just… okay with him? How are the Daily Mailers of the world able to say “God save the queen she is our national treasure etc etc” in one breath and “we love you donald, don’t worry, the queen will remove her photos of the naughty man, anything for you” in the other?!?!

When I first read this thread it was on Reddit, and there were more stories in the comments there, and they were all as bad.

Two people have previously been imprisoned for threatening to murder him for being Jewish, Lewis said. Now, he said, he’s reached the stage where he’s “almost being desensitized to the threats” — from both right and left — such is their regularity.

The couple’s decision comes as accusations of anti-Semitism dog Britain’s main opposition Labour Party and its leader, Jeremy Corbyn. At the same time, incidents of recorded anti-Semitism are near record levels.

Definitely not terrible times round here, oh no
