the judgement is here - it's an interesting read....

was this a wise use of £35,000 by Mr Malik, given that, in the judge's opinion, there was little prospect of success?

[jourdain2]

No, I don't think it was a wise use, given the circs.. You could end up barring the President of the USA!!

[EDDIE51]

This was always a pointless exercise, it has already been established that it is not possible to ban Trump from the UK.
(even though I loath him and wish he could be banned from the face of the Earth)
This was just using hard earned money that should have been better used to gain publicity ! Of course the lawyers took the cash even though they MUST have known there was zero chance of success.

[dieseldick]

im with fender ;-) ban trump ? ignorant idiots !

[youngmafbog]

It's the usual right-on stuff isnt it. I dont like what they say so ban them to shut them up.

Absolute tosh. There is no reason to ban Trum he resonates with millions and in doing so is winding the liberal left up a treat.

Go Donad.

[Marshwarble]

"He resonates with millions"

Some threads are Godwin's Law waiting to happen!

[youngmafbog]

Are you disputing the statement or just trying to be clever?

[ummmm]

It was absolutely ridiculous to start with.

sure, let him in but lock up your daughters

Sounds like just the sort of visitor the country needs

[youngmafbog]

That tape jno is eleve yers old is is a load of blokes on a bus.

Jeez change the record.

And BTW there is a thread above with all your lefty mates on it on this one.

[dieseldick]

I seem to remember something Gordon Brown said on a bus that all his enemies still quote because it somehow revealed his true nature... and yet apparently it doesn't do the same for Trump? Why is that, I wonder?

Appaently it's wicked for politicians to reveal their disdain for voters, but it's okay to reveal what you think of women.... funny that.

[jno]

that was 38 years ago, dieseldick, jeez change the record!

Quite apart from her denying anything had happened...

[mushroom25]

point of order JNO, mr brown wasn't on a bus.....


but you're right about some being able to get away with stuff - why is it lewd and creepy for Trump to be a misogynist, but ched evans is defended to the death for the same thing?

[Cloverjo]

Who is defending Ched Evans, apart from his lawyer and his deluded girlfriend?

[jno]

some have, Cloverjo

roll on trumpaggedon!

[ichkeria]

It was a ridiculous waste of £34,000 - perhaps Mr Malik has money to burn
Yes Trump is a joke, but trying to 'ban' him is daft. What good does that do?
Whether it's Trump himself, Moslems, Mexicans, burqas, comedy burqas, alcohol at airports, religious cartoons etc etc we seem to have a one stop solution to everything ...

[hereIam]

jno forgive me if I'm wrong, but haven't you in the past harked back to the many 'horrendous' things we British have done hundreds of years ago ?? If I am correct and I think I am, isn't it a tad hypocritical of you to say at 9.21 that dieseldick should change the record over something that happened ONLY 38 years ago !!
