Please don’t, didn’t Britain suffer enough under the Blitz?

Perhaps they consider it similar to a barrage balloon.

Garbage balloon. Pronounced garBAZH.

Why fly this when the actual Baby will be present? Or is this like a tracking tag so distant viewers can follow the show?

If someone doesn’t sell a few hundred thousand stuffed plush doll versions of this balloon after filing for exclusive design rights they’re an idiot. I’ll buy 3 right now.

If you read the article, it is being done because thousands of Londoners petitioned and even raised over $20,000 to fly it.

In contrast to the Blitz, Londoners want to give Spankee a figurative middle finger. @firewing2

They need a matching Melania blimp with large inflated…protuberances, and her new household motto:

Ego vere non curo, quid tu?

The hope is the blimp will embarrass Trump and let him know how much the Brits dislike him. Trump may not care. If this was happening on a Trump visit to Moscow…

Though it was reportedly a battle with the London mayor’s office to win permission, officials ultimately decided that the balloon was a legitimate form of protest.

Given Fat Nixon’s history of denigrating the London mayor, blaming him for terror events in the city, I’m gonna guess it wasn’t much of a “fight”…

Would be really, really funny if they then take the thing over to Scotland so that it flies close enough and high enough to be seen from the golf course while Spankee is playing. So he can never run away.

And the Scots are mad enough about his damned courses ruining their coastlines, they would probably okay it too. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if someone hasn’t already come up with this idea…
