(40,245 posts)the British people don't want you to come and were planning mass protests against you. And most likely Prince Harry would diss you very badly and hurt your feelings.

(51,660 posts)on an old scooter to an anti-moron protest. He wants golden carriages, red carpets, red velvet swagged draperies and halls with gold tassels covering everything (sort of like the reception they gave him in Saudi Arabia). I wonder if England has a glowing orb for him to stroke as well.

(5,815 posts)I am not going because I just dont want to go. Nevermind that it has been made abundantly clear to that Chucklehead that No One in England has the slightest interest in seeing him. If he does show up, he can count on nonstop protests and demonstrations. God only knows what he would say between now and when the trip was supposed to take place. He probably would criticize Queen Elizabeth for not being hot enough for him. And then wonder what the fuss was about. He really is a moron.

(5,273 posts)that was constructed to afford greater safety to our diplomatic staff and military attache after the old embassy was seen as vulnerable after a series of security threats.
So, in his perverted mind, Obama Admin is to blame for Benghazi tragedy for not increasing security, but Obama Admin should be criticized for following through on Bush Admin decision to move London embassy in order to enhance security there.

The riverside embassy, described by British media as a state-of-the-art fortress, is set at least 100 feet from other buildings in the area. It is surrounded by a pond on one side to deter intruders officials said it is not a moat because it does not surround the whole building. It will not have a perimeter fence and members of the public will be able to sit on benches overlooking the river. The building has triple-glazed, bomb-proof walls, sunken trenches, raised terraces and a Faraday cage an enclosure that shields what's inside from electric fields to deter electronic eavesdroppers, according to the Times of London.
...
The 12-story, 518,000-square foot embassy cost $1 billion. It is believed to be the most expensive embassy in the world.... Officials said it was funded entirely from the proceeds of real-estate sales, and not by taxpayers.

(22,976 posts)Right now, it's accessible, right on the coast, safer. Moving it inland to Jerusalem is costly, dangerous, and pisses off more people than it's worth.
Oh, that's right, Mikey Pence and his fellow thumpers all want their Bronze Age book to come true, sorta. And you're just the nutcase who's insane enough to do it. Maybe.
But the cost??? And your fucking WALL that Mexico will never pay one penny towards?
