Following up on what I was saying yesterday, I just found this short bbc video juxtaposing footage of the debate in parliament yesterday with clips of Trump at one of his rallies. I watched part of the debate, and found it fascinating. It was reasonable and reserved; most of the speakers thought Trump was a total arse (one even calling him a wazzock at one point, which I love) but saying we could not ban him from the country for x, y and z reasons. I found myself wondering how much coverage this debate was getting in the states, if any. Here we brits were, debating the merits of banning a leading presidential candidate in the ‘mother of all parliaments’, in the most refined, civilised language – did the americans even notice? Would they care? I’d bet they wouldn’t give two hoots what happened in Westminster Yesterday, but just got on with their flag-waving as Trump’s increasingly fascist-looking gravy-train rumbled on.
