Anti-Trump protesters leave London streets looking like WASTELAND (PHOTOS)
Thousands of anti-Trump protesters thronged the streets of London to greet the US president. However, despite many of them carrying placards decrying climate change, they seemingly forgot to take their trash home with them.
Climate change protesters, peace activists, and feminists showed up en masse to express their disagreement with and disgust at the controversial president and his policies as he met with British Prime Minister Theresa May and the Queen.
The protests were accompanied by the inflatable ‘Baby Trump’ which grabbed the headlines last year, in addition to an effigy of Trump atop a golden toilet.

London’s streets were littered with anti-Trump and pro-environment messages after placards were left strewn across the pavement.
Literally a load of lefty crap. Making a mess and leaving to others to clear up. pic.twitter.com/IaeVsrvDya

Naturally, the hypocrisy was called out on Twitter with many expressing revulsion at the protesters’ apparent double standards when it came to their own immediate environment once the furore of the protests had died down.
“They have no personal responsibility. Their whole ethos is that the government should do absolutely everything for them, including tidying up their mess,” wrote one commenter.
Disgusting. So much for loving the environment

“I thought they cared about the environment? I hope there’s no plastic there,” another added.
Others took potshots at Conservative politicians and drew parallels with the ‘mess’ of Brexit. “They’re probably just following David Cameron’s example of disappearing after leaving a mess,” David Hobbs wrote on Twitter.
