British government cancels plan for Trump to address Parliament
New York Post ^ | February 10, 2017 | Yaron Steinbuch

The British government has pulled the plug on a planned address by President Trump to the joint Houses of Parliament during a state visit, according to a report.

Commons Speaker John Bercow this week said Trump should not be allowed to address Parliament because of his immigration ban, as well as the UK’s “opposition to racism and to sexism.”

Trump’s controversial visit is expected to take place in late summer or early autumn — with officials trying to avoid a formal snub by making sure he is not in London when Parliament is sitting, the Guardian reported.

Trump should return the bust of Neville Chamberlain.

The Parliament Speaker, Bercow, who started this ‘disinvitation” is a nasty little man who has indicated that he might switch to the Labor Party, which his idiot wife, Sally, already did.

The Brit MP thinks that addressing Parliament is all that means anything to a “politician”...That could be, but they haven’t realized Trump is not a politician...

How rude, after all we’ve done for the slugs in Britain. Pres. Trump should not go where he is not welcome….and neither should any American tourists.

I agree. They are declaring him a defacto racist and sexist.

On the other hand, one could make an argument that he should go to support the millions that voted for Brexit that love him. He should meet with UKIP and other patriotic organizations. Maybe Farage can set up a rally for Trump to speak at and fire up the anti-establishment.

We can’t surrender the public square to the leftists.

It’s Britainistan now.

Go meet with Queen instead, the Mullahs in Parliament can get their rugs out and bow toward Mecca.

That’s pretty shocking. If the Brits are going to treat us this rudely, it’s time to cancel NATO.

this is a real shame because most of USA citizens want DJT to do what he set out to doing...and rebuild America’s alliances with our allies

but if UK’s govt does not want it, so be it

it appears UK’s govt has sold out the Brits to the IslamoNazi invasion, so there’s less and less affinity or reason for USA to hope for improved UK/USA relations, trade, etc.

Most Brits lost it long ago , proving themselves to be bed wetters , not lions .

Maybe the seed of the Royal British lion will return someday , but they will doubtless have to be looking at some vast smoking ruin to impel them to abandon pantywaistism

And I’, assuming the Trump will just cancel his visit. Too bad for them, but actions have consequences.

“I would like to apologize on behalf of all my fellow regular Englishmen. The actions of this wanker just confirms what a smart move it was to leave.”

You don’t need to apologize.

Most British people probably feel the way you do.

“They are declaring him a defacto racist and sexist.”

Churchill himself would be a racist and sexist to these poltroons. The Islamophiles fear for their lives, so they turn into little Chamberlains. They should read what Winston wrote about Muhammedism.

Why would President Trump want to honor the limeys with his presence? They are beyond redemption in many ways, the most glaring problem is that London has become a muslim hangout. Let them deal with Sharia law and don't be surprised when they (the UK citizens) come begging at our door for asylum.

Europe needs another Charles Martel or John Sobieski to rid them of the muslim curse.

In return please know that some of these F*ck the Brits freepers dont speak for all of us. I know there are a lot of British patriots doing what they can to take their country back and save their culture. You have your work cut out for you as do we. So far Id say we’ve got the leftists bastards on the defense. Never give up.
