A Bolt Hole For Trump? by Les May

LAST weekend the Sunday Post newspaper carried a piece about how a request had been made for a US military plane to be allowed to land at Prestwich airport on the day before the swearing in of Joe Biden as the next US president. There has been speculation that Donald Trump will be on that plane.
Boris Johnson has condemned what he called the "disgraceful scenes" in the US, after supporters of Donald Trump stormed Congress and clashed with police. The Senate minority leader has placed responsibility for what happened on Trump
.
Is it too much to ask that Johnson should refuse to allow Trump to use the UK as a bolt hole in a fortnight’s time?

On the 2, December The Independent reported that 'President Donald Trump's share of the popular vote at the 2020 election has fallen below 47 per cent', according to a report, but despite this drop, he still has 'secured millions more votes than defeated presidential candidates Mitt Romney in 2012 and Hilary Clinton in 2016.' Also, 'that Trump has so far secured 74,115,722 votes — or 46.9 per cent of all ballots counted to date.' This would seem to show that Trump still has a strong following in the US. Why should he be block by Boris?
