With the people who voted for him, sorry, didn't realise anybody would need that explaining or spelling out.


Yours the lunatic

This story has been doing the rounds but it's not the truth.

The UK government didn't secure any exemption. All they got was a clarification that the Presidential executive order only applies to individuals travelling from one of the 7 named countries.

The Canadian government had been given the same clarification 15 hours earlier.

I think any clarification he does give will only further cloud the real issue but if he wants a deal with us he'll have to agree to freedom of movement for all British citizens IMO unless he wants to see the US holiday packages business go down the pan
I bet more people will now go to Canada for this summer and while I'm thinking about it why don't our Government retaliate by banning US sportsmen & women from competing in Britain until he lifts it?

To be fair, the petition doesn't call for the visit to be cancelled as such or Trump to be banned.
It states that Trump can visit as US President, but that it should not be done as a State visit, which includes meeting the Queen.
It also makes no reference to the immigration policies, I believe it was put up before then (polls run for 6 months, and this ones deadline is 29 May, which would mean it was started last year), those policies simply made it more popular :

Quote:Donald Trump should be allowed to enter the UK in his capacity as head of the US Government, but he should not be invited to make an official State Visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen.

Donald Trump's well documented misogyny and vulgarity disqualifies him from being received by Her Majesty the Queen or the Prince of Wales. Therefore during the term of his presidency Donald Trump should not be invited to the United Kingdom for an official State Visit.

It's now at 800,000, and literally rising as you watch.


There was a previous petition to bar Trump from the UK because of his statements made during the election campaign, which reached over half a million signatures, and had a brief discussion in parliament.
