if you didn’t believe that England hates Donald Trump already: the most recent news of his visit today is that the mayor of London approved protestors releasing a £16,000 Trump in-a-diaper balloon to fly 98ft above ground when he visits, and literally no British person is surprised. Welcome to London.
I’m literally not kidding
the people who are managing the balloon are called trump babysitters. I’ve never loved my country more.
i fucking love this country. Trust us to make the president feel welcome
the best part about this is that trump expected to have a royally welcome visit but as soon as he made an appearance, thousands of angry British people started chanting “fuck trump!” on repreat for hours.
UPDATE: Trump has managed to generate a bigger crowd than Obama did, but for all the wrong reasons. The entirety of London is filled with angry anti-trump protestors, to the point where he is refusing to make an appearance due to fear for his safety.
Here are some fucking awesome protest signs being shown today. I hope we’ve made you proud!
this is your daily reminder that if you in any way support this pathetic excuse for a president you really should unfollow me immediately because I think you’re a bad person
The future is pretty amazing. I very belatedly put out a LONDON TOWER BRIDGE WEBCAM NOW message, took the first photo, and less than a minute later somebody sent back that screenshot
Londonist’s roundup of cutaway maps – many from the outstanding Transport Museum in Covent Garden – combines the nerdy excitement of hidden tunnels with the aesthetic pleasure of isomorophic cutaway art, along with some interesting commentary on both the development of subterranean tunnels and works and the history of representing the built environment underground in two-dimension artwork.
So I’m intrigued by the implication that there are different levels of goose warning. Presumably it goes like this:
Level one: there is no goose in the immediate vicinity and no goose has been spotted recently. However, geese still exist in the world, so we can’t assume total safety. No matter where you are, you are always at least at a level one goose warning.
Level two: geese have been known to occasionally frequent the area, so while there is not a goose present right now, your chances of encountering one are higher than usual.
Level three: geese have been spotted in the area quite recently. May be around, but hiding. Waiting.
Level four: you can see a goose or geese flying above you but they have yet to land and start harassing you actively.
Level five: the goose is there. This is not a drill. You are in direct contact with a goose. Everything is terrible.
Level six: you died.
I don’t know if this is actually IN Canada, but if this isn’t the most Canadian thing ever then I don’t know what is.
I’d say that the ‘London Underground’ gives it away as British 🙂
