One of the Trump baby blimps flown at today’s protests in London against the US president’s visit was attacked by a pro-Trump supporter carrying a sharp object.

A woman approached a group anti-Trump activists outside the House of Commons and stabbed the mini blimp in the back, according to the team of “babysitters” looking after the balloon.

“A woman … punctured the mini Trump baby replica with a sharp object,” said a spokesman for the Trump Baby UK group. “It’s not surprising that the far right would want to meet freedom of expression with violence.”

The Donald Trump supporter was led away from the crowd by police officers. A spokesperson for Scotland Yard told The Independent that “one female has been arrested for being in possession of a pointed or bladed article”.

But yet Tommy Robinson can be assaulted all of the time and nothing is done against his assailants.

A recent arrest showed UK police sporting pics of all of the blades (and a spoon) that they confiscated.

A spoon...

I suspect that happened because knife crime is epidemic in London lately.

This would be an hysterically comical assertion if it weren’t so obviously hypocritical.

She was triggered by the balloon, so she’s off the hook.

I think that balloon is so inappropriate. Would they do this if any other head of state visited? Somehow I doubt it. The British used to have some manners. I guess that’s past history.

I hope some organization will help that woman with bail and all that. I would not want to see her thrown in jail with Muslim prisoners.

The balloons should have been disallowed or shot down as a security risk. Who knows what type of gas or other contaminants they contained.
