Donald Trumps controversial state visit to Britain could move from London to the Midlands to allow the US President to address a mass rally and raise money for Armed Forces veterans.
Ministers also say the trip could be delayed from June to July to coincide with Mr Trumps visit to the G20 summit of developed nations in Hamburg.
Trump advisers and senior Foreign Office figures have discussed how to save the controversial visit.
One idea, which has been suggested to the White House, is for President Trump to address a rally in Birmingham where the audience would pay to enter, with profits going to the Royal British Legion.
*Snip*
Venues such as the National Exhibition Centre are being considered in the hope that people outside London will be more receptive to the President and the event would be easier to police.
It is felt that a gathering in the Brexit heartland might offer President Trump a more sympathetic hearing as a supporter of Britain out of Europe.

Most of Europe is suicidal; I’ll never understand it.
However - we totally dodged a bullet this election. Totally. At least we’ve bought ourselves more time.
Glad I never had kids of my own. Seriously, I am VERY glad of that fact. *I* can continue to hang on and fight for our Republic, but I wonder how many of our kids can?
so ...an open admission now of the obvious, that Londonistan isn’t safe to visit anymore, eh?
Cancel the visit. Return the Churchill bust.
I like that idea.
I worked in a bank in Birmingham in the 60s. In this one branch of the bank there were 500 customers named Mohammad Singh. Only bank at that time with photo ID - not that it helped that much.
Need to go further north or west to find true UK community.
Singh are mostly of the a Sikh faith...they are good guys...fought the islamics when India waw invaded.
waw = was (fat finger syndrome)
No. It’s 14% - nearly three times the national average, but nowhere near a majority.
Mohammad Singh? Does that mean there are 500 Patrick O’Paisleys in Belfast?
I think that might be a good idea. Nigel Farage was just on Fox & Friends and he thought it was a great idea.
The only potential downside I see is that IIRC Queen Elizabeth invited the Trumps and they were to meet with her and Prince Philip. The Royals have a lot of residences in the UK, so perhaps instead of meeting at Buckingham Palace, they could meet at one of the other royal residences, such as Windsor Castle or one of the places in Scotland (might be a good pick since Trump’s mother was from Scotland).

fourteen percent is a lot is Moslim-influence.
And deprive the Brits the pleasure of hearing about the vote count on election night as the results from Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin were announced???
