Summary

Donald Trump's upcoming UK visit faces heightened protests, expected to surpass those from his 2019 state visit. Anti-Trump campaigners plan to use blimps and mock tech leaders with humor, aiming to express disgust over Trump's influence. The coalition hopes police and officials will approve the events, targeting figures who supported him. Criticisms include Starmer's handling of Trump during a charm offensive, and groups like Global Justice Now support the protests.
