King Charles - job well done

The only trouble is, of course, Trump himself is too thick to understand the subtext of the speech and he grinned like a moron throughout the speech.

And, unfortunately, whoever wrote the Amnesty piece didn't understand either.

I am a supporter of Amnesty but although I understand their stance only too well, I think in this case the King did the right thing in going ahead with the visit.

If there there were any mileage in upsetting Trump by cancelling in terms of easing his murderous impulses to join Netenyahoo in the quest for genocide then there would have been a case for doing so.

As it was, King Charles was given the opportunity to make a speech which made it very clear to anyone with half a brain that he does not agree with or condone what Trump is setting out to achieve.

Amnesty should get their own house in order before they dare criticise anyone else, their hypercritical double standards for starters.

I've already stated up thread that I initially thought the visit shouldn't go ahead, but I'm very happy to admit I was wrong. It has been a great success and well done Charles and Camilla for pulling it off.

I had misgivings but it was a triumph!

Well done Charles and Camilla.

And yes, Camilla's clothes were lovely she looked poised and elegant.

I had my doubts about the visit going ahead but am so pleased it did because our King did our country proud.

Me too. I thought he did an amazing speech.

Amnesty UK dud not approve of visit.

I never thought that Amnesty were dim but obviously whoever wrote that must have no clue about diplomacy and not enough intelligence to have an insight into the veiled messages in The King's Speech.

Or do they not realise that this was not about Trump per se but about America becoming independent from Britain 250 years ago? King Charles representing the UK and Trump as POTUS representing the USA, not abut the individuals themselves?

Oh dear, Amnesty, I thought you were a tad more intelligent than this.

The king and queen did so well for us. Trump shouted as they were leaving that 'we need more people like them in the US'.
They certainly do.

Does he mean monarchs?

It’s so true that Americans don’t ‘get’ irony. 😄

Just heard on breakfast news that POTUS has removed all tariffs on Scotch Whisky into USA, as a thank you nod to the King and Queen 👏👏👏

Diplomacy works better than hostility and has done with the King's visit. Amnesty are not right on this.

Anesty need to grasp that there is more than one way to skin a cat ......

Amnesty UK dud not approve of visit.

And on a more frivolous note, Camilla wore some really lovely clothes on this trip.

Beautiful flowing garments that wafted as she walked.

Very flattering.

I bet Charles was proud of her.

I didn't think he should go but have been proved wrong. Charles in my opinion didn't put a foot wrong. He made very good speech which hopefully Trump actually listened to. What is clear is the esteem Trump holds for Charles so let's hope it's done some good. Never seen Melania so relaxed and smiling

.....and they wont let you go to the toilet.

So if I don't drop it, what will happen?
Will I get sent to the Headteacher's office?

1,000 lines ‘could do better!’

You get put on the norty step in the corner of the classroom too.

Well, there are: they just aren't "Kings".

Trump calls out to someone as Charles and Camilla departed:
"We need more people like that in our country"

Well, you never spoke a truer word, Mr Trump! 😀

Why write in in bold?

Best just ignore any posts that you think are irrelevant instead of responding and therefore calling more attention to them.

I copied the quote from Wyllow because I agreed with it.

Shall we drop it now?

You couldn't stand another 'let's attack them gossip thread'?
How upsetting for you!
I'm so sorry!
You can always just not read the thread?

Why should we not read and contribute to an interesting thread about how well most of us think King Charles's speech to Congress was received?

Attempts at distractions are the posts which should be ignored.
Your points are irrelevant in this context.

As Wyllow said shall we drop it?
