Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1 2h2 hours agoThe giant balloon that's been dubbed "Trump baby" has been given the green light by London mayor Sadiq Khan to fly near parliament during Trump's UK visit. https://news.sky.com/story/trump-angry-baby-blimp-gets-green-light-to-fly-over-london-during-presidents-visit-11426665
London mayor Sadiq Khan's Greater London Authority has approved a request for the flight after thousands signed a petition and a crowdfunding campaign raised more than £16,000 to get the six-metre inflatable off the ground.
It will fly between 9.30am and 11.30am on Friday 13 July - coinciding with the president's visit to the UK and a "Stop Trump" march in central London.
A spokesperson for the Mayor of London said: "The Mayor supports the right to peaceful protest and understands that this can take many different forms.
"His city operations team have met with the organisers and have given them permission to use Parliament Square Garden as a grounding point for the blimp."

Why did they give the damn day and time? I bet Trump's people change the meeting

Excellent idea. Even this old man (was 20 when Pink Floyd hit the scene) understands.

Unfortunately, they will wear the world's scorn with pride.
But, I'm glad the English are doing it.

So many of us (U.S.) are so disgusted what the repuglicons and their foreign/pluto investors have wreaked so far. More to come after the break.

That we're being bullies. That we're no better than them. That insults do us no good... as they scuttle off to find another insult to lay at the feet of Democrats.

I don't know if Trump sends out his own tweets (I suspect he dictates them) but it would be great if he saw #TrumpBaby trending.
