We’ve been hearing more stories from readers making long journeys into London today.



Julie Bradford and her son Peter travelled from Morpeth in Northumberland to join the demonstration on Friday. She said:

We were outside Winfield House [the US ambassador’s residence in London] last night with my old football rattle to make some noise when Trump’s helicopter landed, and we’re at the main protest today. It’s a historic moment. The Western alliance is being dismantled, human rights are being trampled upon, immigrants are being demonised, and racism and misogyny are being normalised. It feels like we are sleepwalking into this. My son and I want to scream! At least make a stand.

Retired civil servant Malcolm, 62, travelled from Bath to London today. He says:

I lived and worked in the US for three years from 1998, travelled extensively there and developed deep affection for the country and the (then) warmth and friendliness of the people. I’m appalled at everything Trump espouses and has done, from the Muslim ban, withdrawal from Paris accord (along with removing environmental protections domestically), attacks on affordable care, on civil liberties, comments on race, women and LGBT people, and his inhuman treatment of refuge immigrants, including the caging of their children. The list is endless. He is a dangerous man and we must speak out. The UK should have nothing to do with him and tell him why.

Richard Willmott, 72, makes a similar journey from further southwest in Exeter. He says:

It’s important to register the country’s feelings towards Trump who is the greatest threat to world order and peace in my lifetime. It will send a message to like minded US citizens that they have worldwide support ahead of Midterm elections.

And Gaynor Thomassen, 54, from Ambleside, took a train from the Lakes to London to join the Together Against Trump protest. She says:

I’ll be taking trays of brownies to share and helping my friend to carry her knitted placard, which says “Knitters Against Trump”. The most powerful person in the world should not be a liar, a cheat, a sex pest, a racist, a bigot, a traitor, a hypocrite, an anti-environmentalist and a moron who lines his own pockets and those of his family and donors at the expense of his people and the planet.
