Donald Trump retweets Britain First deputy leader's Islamophobic posts

Donald Trump has shared a series of Islamophobic tweets from far-right extremist group Britain First, sparking condemnation for spreading its "deplorable" ideology to a global audience.

The first video, originally shared by deputy leader Jayda Fransen's account, claimed to show "Muslim migrants beating up a Dutch boy on crutches"....

The content of the videos or their origin could not be independently verified, but local reports said the first showed the 2013 murder of a teenager who was himself likely to be a Muslim during riots over the coup against Mohamed Morsi....

His early-morning Twitter frenzy came days after Ms Fransen was arrested over a speech made at a rally in Belfast - the latest in a series of incidents over alleged hate speech, religious harrassment and incitement by Britain First members

If you wish to sign a letter of complaint about this to the American Ambassador to the UK, here's the link:

(Off-topic and a bit childish of me, but: is the Ambassador's name REALLY Woody Johnson? Somehow sounds more suitable for a porn star than a diplomat.)

Protestors have already begun storing up their urine in plastic containers ahead of Donald trump’s UK visit.

The announcement that President Trump will be visiting the UK was initially met with outrage by left-wing protestors, but then glee as they realised the kind of shenanigans that might entail, along with the realisation that this might be the only opportunity they have to drown President Trump in litres and litres of their own water.

“It’s going to be epic,” said Robert Sharp, while filling up an empty Stella bottle.

“And I don’t mean epic in the hyperbolic sense, I mean it literally. Nobody in human history will ever have been covered with more piss, generated by more people than President Trump will be in just a few short months.
