Peter Hitchens pointed out in one of his columns how the UK security cordon for W Bush was a less restrictive than that for the visit of the Chinese Communist president’s visit a few years ago.
Not only were the protestors against China’s authoritarian regime kept way back from China’s ruler, but the British police even raided the homes of protestors in the UK to disrupt their activities.
Not only does the modern UK kowtow to China’s Commies, but their flag was lowered to half staff when the Saudi king died the other year.
The Saudis and the Chinese have what the deeply in debt British don’t have right now, money.
And the British need their money through loans or trade deals to keep their dying nation afloat.
Modern day Brits disgust me. I’ll never forgive them for their behavior during my visit at the same time as GWB’s state visit. That I was intimidated enough to retreat to my hotel room, tells me everything I need to know about the thin veneer of civilization.
Thanks to you, I found the article you referenced. So it wasn’t my imagination! The police did very little to stop the awful demonstrations during GWB’s visit.
Again, thank you.
