PRO-Trump rally in Cardiff has almost as many police protecting it as participants

UPDATE: It turns out that this is embarrassing for Vox Political and possibly many other commentators, too. For the reason, see this follow-up story.

Oh, how embarrassing.

While tens of thousands of angry Britons clamoured to show their disgust at new US President Donald Trump’s decision to ban people from certain Muslim countries from entering his country…

A somewhat smaller group held a PRO-Trump – yes, you read that right: PRO-Trump – rally in Cardiff. Here it is:

As you can see, there were almost as many police as participants. In fact, This Writer isn’t even sure the person on the far right (ha ha) was anything to do with it. They may have been asking directions…

To the anti-Trump rally.

Quote: “You can read [Trump’s] entire executive order from start to finish, reread it, then read it again, and you will not find a Muslim ban. It’s not there. Nowhere.

  And what is the effect of the order?
  You can phrase a document in such a way that it doesn’t mention a particular thing, person, race or religion, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be affected, and it certainly doesn’t mean there was no intention to affect them.

It’s often worth investigating these sorts of things – that ‘pro-Trump’ rally was a social experiment by two Muslim gents: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/two-muslims-turned-up-anti-12533047

  Thanks for the heads-up.
  I got the information from a source that is generally trustworthy; they were probably hoodwinked too.
  I’m happy to correct the matter and have written another article.
