Thousands of people protested in central London on Tuesday against Trump's pomp-laden state visit to Britain, but numbers were well down on the tens of thousands who gathered to oppose his visit last year
* Opposition leader addresses"Carnival of Resistance" rallyLONDON, June 4 - Thousands of people protested in central London on Tuesday against U.S. President Donald Trump's pomp-laden state visit to Britain, but numbers were well down on the tens of thousands who gathered to oppose his visit last year.
Among Britons, Trump is one of the least-liked foreign leaders, with just 21% of people surveyed by YouGov having a positive opinion of him. Among women, that figure fell to 14%. "We have ruined the planet," she said."He has a powerful voice and could do something about it. He chooses not to." One woman carried a sign carrying the Shakespearean insult,"I bite my thumb at thee!" Elsewhere, a man sold toilet rolls featuring Trump's face for three pounds a piece.
The protesters have been largely kept away from Trump, with roads closed around Buckingham Palace and Downing Street.
