Any petition to stop the Saudi royal family coming over ?. The people that fund ISIS behead and stone people ? Nope didn't think so , just Mr Pussy grabber.
But it does suggest that not everyone in the U.K. is a) apathetic, and b) as keen as the governemnet to welcome this racist, misogynistic pig with open arms on a state visit
I don't think it's been open that long. I first looked yesterday afternoon and it only had about 200,000 signings. It's about a million this morning. Less than 24 hours later. It's now been all over the morning news that the petition is out there. Be interesting to see what it goes up to today, if it is allowed to be left open.
There is no way we are going to ban Trump from entering the UK , he was walking round holding our prime minister's hand talking about our special relationship on Friday. We should at least wait for Trump to actually do something before judging him . Just labelling him a racist misogynist in the MSM is pretty lazy journalism.
I'm guessing you voted to ban Trump ? What did he do ? You get leaders from states that make homosexuality illegal and women are banned from driving , women get stoned to death for adultery after being raped. As they are oil rich and we sell them expensive weapons of war nothing is mentioned and they get the red card treatment visiting the Queen and PM on a state visit. Blind hypocrisy, It appears that the establishment and paid for media hate this spanner in the works and will do anything to demonise him.
So are you saying a blanket ban on seven Muslim countries' residents from entering the USA on genuine business or to see friends and / or family is not "doing something" on which the rest of the world are empowered to judge him?
The countries on the list are failed states with card carrying Jihadists , the ban is temporary until they can properly vet who it is entering their country. He hasn't simply banned Muslims, the Germany Sweden approach to immigration is cultural suicide.
Yesterday, the President removed the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence from the NSC. He replaced them with Steve Bannon. Bannon has no government, intelligence, or high-level military experience; his experience is leading a propaganda outlet (Breitbart News) that peddles nationalist and white nationalist viewpoints. This would be deeply concerning in and of itself. But one of the jobs of the NSC is to oversee a secret panel that authorizes the assassination of “enemies of the United States Government” – including American citizens. These targeted killings are fully authorized by law under the Congressional military authorization act following 9/11. There is no trial, no due process, and no public record of the decision or the assassination itself. Just to recap the absurdity: the President of the United States has appointed a known propagandist, nationalist, and white supremacist to replace the highest military adviser in the country on a council that authorizes secret, legal, targeted killings of American citizens (and others) without due process"
You mean the executive orders put in place by Bush and Obama ? The Patriot act ? You can't seriously be blaming Trump for the terrible laws implemented since 2001 ? Breitbart isn't a propaganda outlet everything they publish is verified. If you want propaganda then watch CIA bullshit peddlers CNN.

Trump will either be a colossal failure or things will change radically in the next 4 years. No inbetween.
Obama had 8 years to change this but instead added to it. If the President says you are a risk to national security they can drone strike anyone in any country in the World without warning. Even US citizens on home soil . They have an International license to kill with no judge or jury . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act If Trump doesn't reverse some of these decisions and the NSA snooping on citizens phone and data records then he is no better than the last two puppets that ruled since 2001
Just because Trump is a collosal bellend should not mean he cannot visit. As Donuts has pointed out, we let in and pander to, far worse people. Trump is a dick and certainly is not a bland clean living lefty who does everything by the politically correct book. But he has been elected to office, he now holds the purse strings of the most powful nation in the world. So unless you are one of those that searches out clothing, food and other goods only produced in the most ethical of ways, uses only green energy and materials, has never said or done anything remotely sexist, racist or offensive. I suggest you get off your collective high horses and see what he can actually do? I actually think that his policy on carefully vetting imigrants from known terrorist hotspots is a very sensible policy, especially in light of what has happened since central Europe opened its flood gates. Do I agree with his appointments, policies, ethics or even like him? No. But he for many represents a fight back against the loonie left that has pushed too many people too far. Bah!
In fairness i think there are more options. I think he will be a colossal failure and change things radically over the next 4 years (If he lives that long!) Bah!
