"Thousands of people are expected to descend upon the streets of London in protest at Donald Trump's unprecedented second state visit. His Majesty will host Mr Trump and the First Lady on Wednesday at Windsor Castle in Berkshire, before the trip continues on Thursday at the PM's Chequers country residence in Buckinghamshire. King Charles and Queen Camilla met with Donald Trump and his wife Melania during their previous state visit in 2019"
"Zoe Gardner, a migration policy specialist, claimed Mr Trump was opening the door to global fascism and said his visit would drag Britain further into the abyss. In a video posted by the coalition, featuring an AI-generated dystopian Britain ruled by far-Right paramilitaries, Ms Gardner said: There is a darkness coming. It has already swallowed America and now it is coming for us too."
"But Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, told The Daily Telegraph: This is hysterical scaremongering by people who are clearly unhinged. The idea that welcoming the democratically elected leader of our closest ally could open the door to some sort of fascism is obviously absurd. These people need to reconnect with reality. This sort of stuff risks inflaming tensions and inciting violent mobs."
Thousands of people are expected to protest in London during Donald Trump's second state visit. The King will host Mr Trump and the First Lady at Windsor Castle, and the trip will include a stop at the Prime Minister's Chequers country residence. Campaigners vowed to demonstrate, accusing the visit of honouring a figure they say violates human rights, while some opponents dismissed those warnings as hysterical scaremongering. Past visits drew tens or hundreds of thousands of protesters, and organisers have produced stark warnings about far‑right threats. Scotland Yard has mounted a significant policing operation amid heightened tensions and recent violence involving a Trump ally.
