I lay in bed with my morning mug of tea listening to the vitriolic comments from many people concerning President Trimp's visit. Now I do not like President Trump both in the way he conducts himself or his policies. That is not the point. He is here as the Head of Sate of the USA and should be given all the pageantry that entails.
We gave a state visit with pomp and ceremony to the Chinese leader. He does not have to put himself in front of the people. He is so unsure of his position he will not allow anybody to critisise him or his rageme. There is no free press or free judiciary. His cronies kill people. On this anniversary of Tinnemin Square we should remember all this.
For all his faults, Trump will have to put himself forward to face the people. He holds press conferences and faces questioning. There is a free press who question his policies and his judgement. He can be held to account.
If we can give a state visit to the Chinese Leader why all the fuss about President Trump? As I say, he is here as the head of state. How can the speaker of the House of Commons refuse him an address to both Houses of Parliament when that privilege was given to the Chineses leader?
