FULL TITLE: Call yourselves eco-warriors? Anti-trump activists leave behind a mountain of litter after listening to ranting Corbyn blast Trump and lecture him about the environment
Anti-Trump protesters have left behind swathes of litter after listening to Jeremy Corbyn slam the President for his stance on the environment.
Pictures from around Trafalgar Square and Parliament show discarded plaques and banners which have been left dumped on the floor.
It came after only around a few tens of thousands turned up to march against Trump and hear Jeremy Corbyn deliver a tirade against the President.
Organisers admitted that the total turnout was only in the tens of thousands, despite predictions that hundreds of thousands would march against the President.
During a press conference with Theresa May this afternoon, the President blasted the protesters for peddling 'fake news' and claiming that large numbers of protesters would gather to object to his visit.

Pro-Trumpists would not have left the mountain of trash.
Aw, that’s nothing compared with the trash left behind by American liberals.
Perhaps a Great Awakening is occurring. God and sometimes the majority people move in mysterious ways. May God approve and awaken the West
Speaking of Corbyn, I wonder how long he’s going to be Labour leader? Given their poor performance in the recent wave of elections, you wonder if his days are going to be numbered soon if not yet (kind of like what happened to May)?
Fn a-hole hypocrites. Sick, twisted bunch
I did an analysis some years ago on the signs one saw at Taxpayer March on Washington, and compared it to a typical Leftist protest, of which I have seen more than a few down in DC with the DC Chapter of Free Republic.
In the cases of leftists, I am reminded of this hilarious satirical book:
I have been to a fair number of demonstrations, and have noticed the stark difference in the way participants on both sides express themselves through both in-demonstration behavior, and the signs carried to express their point of view.
I took the time to document it a couple of years ago as shown below. I took two pictures, one showing a large gathering of liberals, and one showing a large gathering of conservatives.
Here is an example of what the liberal protesters carry when they want to make a point. This analysis was from the Antiwar protesters at The Gathering of Eagles on March 17, 2007. What you see in this picture is absolutely, 100% TYPICAL.
Here is an example of what the conservative protesters carry when THEY want to make a point. This analysis was from the Taxpayer March on Washington on 9/12/2009. What you see in this picture is absolutely, 100% TYPICAL.
Conservatives not only show wit and originality in the content of the materials they use to express themselves, but also spend time making them both readable and legible. They take pride in their handiwork, and they can do this because they have a deeper understanding of the issue at hand.
Liberals often have mass printed signs that lack originality and wit in an attempt to ensure everyone has a sign (created by someone else) that says something that the "someone else" want them to express. When you see liberals carrying their own handmade signs, they often look like this, poorly lettered and shallow in content:
I have seen this contrast over and over again. What I have concluded from this is that while liberals may have some form of conviction about a subject, it is because they want to believe something they have been told without thinking it through. Most of them have an "understanding" of an issue that is a foot wide and a fraction of an inch deep. They will doggedly stay within that framework regardless of facts and logic, and their expression of that viewpoint in their signs and banners illustrates a lack of depth, understanding and originality.
Thank you for a VERY INFORMATIVE post!
There weren’t “tens of thousands” of people there.
From What I saw, they’d be lucky if there were 4-5 thousand.
I have forgotten the timeframe but I believe it was in the aftermath of the 2000 or 2004 election that brought that despised Texan into the US Presidency (remember how hated he was by the Euro-elites?) There was an on-street interview of an anti protestor who was very bitter at their inability to vote for the US President.
Obviously this is now a goal of the current Democrat Party!
They are everything they hate, but then they are everything I hate too...
Wow, I never noticed that really before, but now that you say it, and I look at that photo, I can see the same few signs repeated over and over. They are even kind of clustered in certain areas, as if that’s where that particular sign was being handed out. And the majority of them are clearly pre-made professionally.
They are so damned predictable. It is one of the many reasons I cannot muster even the smallest modicum of respect for the Left.
They are intellectually vapid and berift of logic. It is why they have to resort to the tactics they do.
I have believed for some time that this is the very reason they are attacking our lawful democratic voting processes with things like ballot harvesting, vote ranking, resistance to voter ID laws, maintenance of the voting rolls, gerrymandering of districts, battles over the census, giving illegal aliens the right to vote, unlimited immigration, litigating every election, and just outright voter fraud.
Identity politics is cannibalistic by its nature, and they are running out of people to pit against each other, and their consituents (if they may be called that) end up fighting with each other. Look at the flap between Asians and Blacks in NYC about admission to charter schools as an example.
