DAVID LAMMY: We don't march because we hate the United States of America. We march because we love the United States of America.

London calling!
London calling!

This is simply my bit of gratitude and praise for what I was hoping someone might say in regards to the protests in London upon Trump’s visit.

I know that not everyone enjoys this sentiment. But it’s what it felt like to me. I take great offense when a leader from any nation acts as the US President has demonstrated.

He didn't when the popular vote, note even close.

It really means something when our British counterparts can stand up against our leaders and say not so fast.

If the French had voted in Le Pen I’d be right there as well in standing up to the leader but not the people.

With the US president attacking NATO, I’d like to say NATO or no NATO, I’m always going to back my allies when they have domestic problems.

Not because I hate the country, but because its people deserve better.
