Donald Trump and the United Kingdom have a history that could probably be described as contentious — by which I mean when the then-Presidential candidate landed in Scotland in 2016 to go golfing, a woman stood on the course holding a large sign that read, ‘Trump Is A Cunt’.

Then there was the whole thing with the large baby dirigible, a giant balloon depicting the leader of the free world as an orange infant, not to mention widespread protests that have broken out literally every time that Trump has announced he’s popping in for a quick visit.

So yes, it’s probably safe to say that U.K. citizens aren’t exactly rolling out the welcome mat every time that the man moseys on over the pond. Even now, almost three long years since Trump was first elected into the highest office in the world, residents of London have banded together, taken to the streets, and produced some very excellent anti-Trump signage.

This most recent #TrumpProtest has been designed to coincide with a routine visit from the President (perhaps he’s there to say cheerio to his friend Theresa “Lonely” May?), so rather than attacking a single element of the man’s character, the signs have gone all out, skewering him for everything from his views on immigration and abortion, to his lacklustre performance in Home Alone 2.

Particularly impressive was a sign decrying the President as a “racist Wotsit” — which, for those of you sadly living in a Wotsit-free world, is a small orange chip, a little like a Twistie, that bears an uncanny resemblance to the man terrifying most of the planet.

Oh, and not to be left out of the fun, Jane Godley, the protestor who held up the ‘Cunt’ sign all those years ago, has returned with a modified version of that all-time classic.

God bless the U.K.
