    What benefit is there to British people protesting US government austerity programs from Trafalgar Square?

    Not that I don’t agree with the idea that what trump is doing is callous; it’s just that I fail to understand why foreigners would protest the US government in this way when their own government is in the process of cutting welfare, healthcare etc., all while being extremely cowardly in their response to trump.

    trump barely cares what Americans think of him. Imagine how much less he cares what a few thousand Brits think. Starmer is quite literally just down the street and at least with him there is a chance you will have your voice heard.

      It’s Americans protesting abroad, if I understand correctly. ‘We’re all living in America’ syndrome is real, but I don’t think this is an example of that.
