Demonstrators mock Donald Trump; protest his visit to the UK

London • Thousands crammed the streets of central London on Friday to vent their anger over Donald Trump’s first official visit to Britain, blowing horns, waving banners and hoisting a bright orange effigy of the U.S. president on their shoulders

Filing past palaces of high-end commerce — Apple, Burberry, Brooks Brothers — marchers criticized Trump's policies on immigration, climate change and torture, as well as his treatment of women. Some carried more than one placard, unable to choose which policy they hated the most.

The Rev. Nigel Sinclair, 53, a church of England preacher, came in what he called his Sunday vicar's outfit, carrying a sign that showed how Trump's ideas differ from those of Jesus Christ.
