Thousands Sign 'ban Trump From Uk' Petition

[naomi24]

It follows the Republican frontrunner's call for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".

Should he be banned?

[Svejk]

Seeing as we not only welcome hate preachers but pay for their living expenses, I can't see this malodourous petition having any effect. Saying that, didn't I see a government minister, on the news yesterday, talking in similar terms?

[TheChair]

"I can't see this malodourous petition".
Nice phrase. Meaningless, but nice.

Given the fact that Republicans may clearly be dim enough to have Trump as their presidential candidate and that he may conceivably thereafter actually be President, it would be rather awkward for Cameron to welome him here for any international conference if he were banned!

[Prudie]

ooh will there be tinsel on this bandwagon as it's Christmas?

Seriously, I thought we were a democracy?

You would.

Oddly enough 'petition' has it's roots in the Arabic word for 'sign any old dross cos my pal did'

[ToraToraTora]

No, everyone is allowed their opinion. That's why we are the good guys.

[Baldric]

Wouldn't signing this Petition put us on a par with him?

Ban this, ban that .... ... .. .

Seems strange people want to ban a man entering the UK because he wants to ban people from entering his own country.

You do not want potential terrorists banned but you are prepared to sign a petition to have a 'special relationship' country's politician banned, his only crimes, belonging to an opposing political party, and speaking his mind.

The vacuous love a petition, the herd instinct gets them excited. Arrange these words to make a well known phrase or saying.
your nose other out of keep business peoples.

Thousands have signed - Millions have not.

There should be a petition to ban muslims fron signing the petion to ban Trump from banning muslims from voting for trump....
something not quite right there.. :-)

[Old_Geezer]

One needs a total and complete shutdown of trumps in the United Kingdom. It's the wind of change.

[jomifl]

Hopefully we have heard the last Trump.

[ichkeria]

I must say I am also fed up with these petitions.
There's one to get Tyson Fury struck off the SPOTY list, too.

Let him come I say (is he planning to?)

[cactusdriver]

@aog

Among your other gifts you seem to have aquired the skill of mind reader - which potential terrorists do I not want banned?

[Chipchopper]

What ever happened to free speech ?

[ichkeria]

We should actually invite Donald Trump to come to Britain. Perhaps to London, where he might get a better picture of what the capital is actually like.
Banning him from Britain would only make him more popular in the US I suspect.
