If you're in London today, then there's plenty of opportunities to show Mr Trump that he's not welcome.
If you miss the march, then come along to the rally in Parliament Square at 5 instead and make some noise.

Reading Character Limit, unsurprised by the hubris of Musk, but 100+ pages in & Dorsey isnt coming off so well, surprised he goaded the acquisition against the board.
