Thousands of protesters took to the streets of London on Wednesday to protest against the second state visit of President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators gathered from around 2 p.m., local time, with many holding anti-Trump signs emblazoned with slogans such as \u201cGo away, Trump\u201d and \u201cStop Trump.\u201d Some protesters could also be seen waving Palestinian flags as they called for an end to the Israel-Hamas war.<\/p>\n

Organized by the Stop Trump Coalition, attendees marched towards the British parliament. The protest had additional support from groups connected to climate activism and gender equality.<\/p>\n

The Stop Trump Coalition said that a number of protests would begin around 6 p.m. local time across the rest<\/a> of the U.K. in cities such as Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff and Newcastle. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe want our government to show some backbone, and have a little bit of pride and represent that huge feeling of disgust at Donald Trump\u2019s politics in the UK,\u201d Zoe Gardner, one of the protest\u2019s organizers, told<\/a> the BBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have heard from people across the political spectrum who will be joining in the protest today, because the majority agree that we should not be rolling out the red carpet for Donald Trump. The large numbers of people marching today are telling [U.K. Prime Minister Keir] Starmer and his government that they must stand up to Trump,\u201d a spokesperson for the Stop Trump Coalition said in a statement <\/a>to TIME.<\/p>\n

Activist group Led by Donkeys timed large-scale images of Trump and the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to project onto Windsor Castle minutes after the President landed in London on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n

Thames Valley Police arrested four people on suspicion of malicious communications in relation to the stunt.<\/p>\n

On Monday, protesters unveiled a large banner emblazoned with an image of Trump and Epstein on the lawn outside Windsor Castle. The banner was removed prior to Trump\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thousands of protesters took to the streets of London on Wednesday to protest against the second state visit…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431692,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,32,393,4884,257,28423,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-431691","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-london","13":"tag-news-desk","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115220849529918773","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431691\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
