A petition to ban Donald Trump from entering the UK last night became the most popular ever on Parliament’s website.
As of last night, more than 450,000 people had signed up to the call to ban the US presidential hopeful for hate speech in the wake of calls to ban Muslims from the US.
Started two weeks ago, before Trump’s comments that the US should bar all Muslims and that parts of the UK were no-go zones for police, it has comfortably passed the 100,000 threshold required to force the Commons to consider debating the issue.
However, until yesterday another petition demanding the UK close its borders had attracted almost as many signatures – but received less coverage in the media.
This petition on Parliament’s website - called ‘Stop all immigration and close the UK borders until ISIS is defeated’ - had attracted 444,000 signatures as of 6pm.
But despite the interest created in the Trump petition, this one had been all but ignored by the liberal media and the BBC, which promoted the Trump petition via its BBC News Twitter account.

You mean to say that the BBC is biased? Couldn't possibly be true.../s
“The Narrative!!!”
I am perfectly happy if the Europeons take the Syrians. That will eliminate the need for us to do so.
Of course they may be thinking the same thing about us and that may explain their polls.
Voting him off the island.
No they are not. They are just staying focused on the true enemy, global warming. [and whoa be to anyone for whom I actually have to put in the /s].
The problem with Merkel and her acolytes inviting this flood of immigrants from the Middle East is that large parts of Europe may become unsafe to travel in. Maybe we will need travel advisories about which tourist spots are still safe to visit.
They had better not get on their high horse.

Maybe we need to start a petition banning Brits from the USA if they want to play this game.
Hey Brits you lost the war 200 plus years ago. Do not lecture us.
Itsot “hate” speech. It’s “truth” speech and the leftists can’t have that. BTW I wonder how many of the pollsters were actually Valerie Jarrett’s or Soro’s staff using their several thousand fake social media profiles.

Fine, just tell Donald not to talk about London and the UK.
My daughter is looking at a trip to London Paris and Brussels next summer. Not going to happen.
Uh oh, it looks like the Brits are waking up. It’s the Trump Effect.
Are you saying Trump shouldn’t mention UK muslim “no-go zones”...perhaps he shouldn’t discuss islam?
She will be fine. Are you going to keep her out of San Bernadino?.
Yes. If he/you/his supporters don’t want furrners to interfere, or pass comment on Trump or the US, then the same applies. You cant have it both ways.
The UK is an issue for the UK. Its got f*ck all to do with him.
You don't think we have a right to examine the events in Rotherham...or Paris or Germany or Belgium?
You may be sensitive about your homeland, but what happens there and in Europe has implications for all of us.
I've never complained about furriners commenting on the U.S.
In fact some of the only TRUE news coverage about the U.S. comes out of the U.K. and Europe.
