    I think this kind of sums up the Trump visit. Angry, frustrated people giving the finger to a retreating helicopter.pic.twitter.com/vKp259byRh

        Lots of people telling me the official term for that Trumpcopter thing is ‘Osprey’ but no - I like @lickedspoon’s version. A “Helipram”.

        Not really. I don’t think a handfull of people putting their fingers up at the President represents the whole of the U.K. absolutely pathetic. What a wonderful red carpet show at Blenheim Palace though. Great stuff!

        I can't see a carpet here at Blenheim, but I can see these people. Oh and four very grumpy looking people in monkey suits and posh frocks 😂pic.twitter.com/mcYltZ6rjO

        Why no overhead shots of the crowd? Don't want everyone to see that there is only a couple hundred people there?

        Tomorrow is about Trump. Numbers in London. Today, from what I saw at Blenheim Palace just now, was more about publicly shaming the people who accepted the invitation to the black tie dinner as they swept in through the gates in their blacked-out limos. Rather effective, actually

        It's an Osprey, Simon. Sigh. Having had my child berate me for the same thing earlier.

        I don't want to be the one breaking it to you, but I doubt President Trump can see your childish gesture from way up there. But I salute your futile gesture and top notch virtue signalling. Bravo. I hereby award you the distinguished tantrum medal.

        They most probably know PrTr doesn't see or care about their gesture. He's not the audience they're aiming, they already know he doesn't give a damn. Glad to see you you're bothered.

        The welfare of mentally ill protesters has always bothered me. I hope their carers get them back to the home safely.

        We usually don't give the fingers to non-arseholes. It's just a British thing, maybe?
