Trump's gilded carriage welcome at Windsor
Donald Trump has the unusual privilege of travelling in one of the royal family's gilded carriages but only inside the environs of Windsor Castle, not out in the town, let alone along The Mall leading to Buckingham Palace. So this is a State visit but it's more like a mini-State visit, with carefully contained pageantry. Hundreds of police and fancily-dressed military kept a careful guard, so how on earth protesters managed to flash a picture of Trump and Jeffery Epstein onto the walls of Windsor Castle beggars belief. Where were the police then? An extraordinary cock-up which went viral around the world. Trump says he loves the royal family and looks upon King Charles as a friend, so one wonders whether the monarch might whisper to him that his reversal of President Joe Biden's huge climate-change bill could be seriously dangerous for the future of the world. Charles has always worried about the planet and humankind's abuse of its treasures. But I fear Trump won't be in a mood to listen. He came to the White House for his second term promising to drill, drill,,drill for oil and there seems absolutely no chance he will change his mind. Charles is probably the best diplomat in the country and will do his best but Trump has made up his mind that oil and gas are the way ahead, none of this expensive namby pamby alternative energy resources stuff!
