SOME of the Trump protesters are up in arms all over the globe but to date he hasn't done anything save make travel a bit inconvenient for some people.

He hasn't dragged his country into a useless, unwinable war like George Bush, or Tony Blair, he is just protecting his country from a real threat.

Of course, since 9/11 the USA is very sensitive to the terrorist threat. As for calls for the Trump invitation to be withdrawn as it might be embarrassing for the Queen – what rubbish! Her Majesty has proved herself world-class in diplomatically dealing all sorts of unsavoury world leaders.

Finally we need to strengthen the special relationship. We can get a trade deal and if Trump does look on us favourably, we may be able influence some of his more extreme views.

I believe criticism of Theresa May is unjustified too. She had no knowledge that Trump intended to issue that executive order till after she left the USA.
