Too much security for Bush's visit?

[max_tranmere]

That moron arrived in London for a two day visit yesterday and thousands of Police were laid on to protect him. It was his 'farewelltour' before the useless bafoon leaves office and goes into the private sector to make tens of millions of dollars for myself, trading off the contacts he made whilst President, and the huge monies spent in London yesterday and today would have been better spent on schools and hospitals. I happened to be near Regent's Park yesterday, a few miles from where I live, and the security was really on. The US ambassador lives in a house on the edge of the park and it was obvious, from the security, that the unemployable former coke-snorting imbecille that is George W Bush was paying a visit. The canal runs along the top of Regent's Park and concrete blocks were laid across one bridge, with two coppers standing there, and the other bridge had road access to the park closed off by dozens of huge concrete blocks. Police were everywhere to be seen - along the grass verges, everywhere.

I imagine that Bush, the man who used family connections to dodge the Draft for Vietnam in the 1970's, was only going to visit the house for an hour or two, yet the taxpayers of London had to stump up heaps of money for the security. I noticed today that Bush and Gordon Brown, another egotistical idiot who is only there because he wants to be when in reality a huge amount of his public don't want him, gave a press conference where Brown announced yet more troops for Afganistan. Bush approved of this, which is code for 'I instructed Brown to send more UK troops and he has'. It annoyed me that the recovering alcoholic Bush, who made a fortune from insider-trading and has been arrested for burglary three times, basically instructed our PM to send more young guys over there and he is now doing so. The 2 day visit of Bush to London (the only President ever to have a criminal record) has cost London and the UK a fortune and should not have happened in my view. At least we know this is the last time that Bush, a man whose father arranged through his contacts and wealth for him to become President when he is totally unqualified to do the job, will visit the UK in his official capacity as President. What do other people thing of the outragious cost of this visit, which we had to pay for, and what do you think of Bush in general?

I thought this thread was going to be about chastity belts.

Could you make any more suppositions?

[max_tranmere]

Been proven. They are all true. It's also been revealed that the 'pretsal incident' (where Bush not so long ago apparently nearly chocked on a prestsal) was actually him falling off the wagn and having an alcohol binge. This has been claimed by Lord David Owen, former British Foreign Secretary, in a new book. Owen knew the Doctor who treated Bush for his booze binge. Bush claims to not have had a drink since he was 40 - some 21 years ago. Bullshit!

Been proven? All of your suppositions? Show me the money.

Not just the chaos in London but the chaos at Heathrow on Sunday (which was compounded by severe weather at New York Kennedy on Saturday night which meant aircraft left up to seven hours late and then had to put down at Dublin and other airports because their arrival at Heathrow would have clashed with Bush's arrival) and again today. Passengers with just as important (to them) schedules had to be inconvenienced.

One British Airways flight delayed for 7 hours in New York had to put down in Dublin for operational reasons and should have been able to arrive at Heathrow just 8 hours late. Because of the Shrub, they could not get a slot and the crew went out of hours forcing BA to send another aircraft to Dublin to pick up the passengers who arrived at Heathrow 14 hours 54 minutes late.

Once Bush hit town, Gordon Brown nosed him, his mate Blair fawned over him and hundreds of thousands of Londoners had their freedom to travel through their city denied by the the nonentity.

Good riddance and roll on January 20 2009.

I propose a game of six sides of.. you know the one where you end up back where you started. Right, I'll start it off:

Bush...C**t... your turn.

[max_tranmere]

sydney. Lol! On tonight's News they showed film of Bush and his new poodle Brown. Bush said he feels he has created a situation of multi-lateralism, and also of further diplomacy. I can barely even think of what to say in response! This dickhead has made it much harder for coalitions to exist now, due to the controversy of the Iraq War - it is only really the US and their lackey the UK who will do these things now, and diplomacy?! What! Bombing the crap out of Iraq because you pretend that Saddam has Weapons of Mass Destruction, creating huge numbers of deaths and making Iraq a much worse place than it was before, has very little to do with 'diplomacy'! What an arsehole Bush is!! The worst President in the history of the United States. Ever.

Oooooh, I don't know, Richard 'Tricky Dicky' Nixon was always my favourite.

Nixon was an evil, twisted but smart c**t, Whereas Bush is just a thick...

What---no votes for Warren Harding?
