Trump flies into ANOTHER huge protest as he lands in Scotland

[octoberlib]

Thousands of people have gathered in Glasgow's George Square to protest against Donald Trump's visit as he prepares to fly to Scotland.

The president has been welcomed by Scottish Secretary David Mundell, but opposition to the Republican's trip remains vocal across the country.

Among the placards carried by campaigners were messages against the US president's policies including a reference to the detainment of illegal immigrants' children that read: 'Give the weans Irn Bru not iron cages'.

Others urged Trump to go home, with one sign referencing his campaign slogan that read: 'Bolt ya rocket and make Scotland great again'.

2. I love these, thanks! I love Scotland.

One sign said Trump is a rocket. What is rocket slang for?

3. Rocket: An idiot, someone who doesn't really have a good grip on reality.

4. I may add some more later if I find some more good ones!

Rocket? Precise definitions vary, but it's not usually a compliment:

"Rocket"

What it usually means: A device that is launched into the air using explosives.

What it means in Glasgow: A daft person, someone who's lost their grip on reality. As in, "Stoap goin' on about UFOs, ya rocket."

1. Banger

This of course means a firework that explodes with a loud noise, but locally it is used, in the same way as rocket, to mean a volatile individual: ‘The daft wee banger’s ran right roon tae pull him up.’

The grand total of 4 Pro trump supporters in Glasgow get led away by police escort #TrumpUKVisit #TrumpProtest

All four are known members of far-right groups, and their "leader" is a holocaust denier..

12. people do think

this asshole of a potus thinks he's the only one with a brain. Great Britain demonstrates and Scotland. Now if we could just get HUGE numbers of American demonstrators into our streets we would be on our way to ridding ourselves of this orange cheeto POS. We did it for that goddamn Vietnam war, Nixon-Agnew. What the Patriot Act got everyone afraid? Tell it to 43 and that POS Cheney, I don't care to hear it. Get off your fucking asses, before we lose our imperfect democracy/country to these fascist assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are the only ones that can save our experiment in democracy and assure that we can keep trying to "form that more perfect union". I am sick of this goddamn apathy disguised as civility or whatever it is?
