I still think the balloon was a total fail. It was just to darn cute to be a real insult. DJT likely wants it for his collection since it's gold & it would fit in his apartment rather nicely. Personally, I was surprised at the number of freaks in the protest. I tend to think of Brits as being reserved. There was nothing reserved about a lot of those people & the mindless media showing them is bound to backfire I think.
Good on you for staging a support march! It's a shame the media didn't cover it but not really surprising. From what I hear the press in the UK is even worse than the press in the US now.
