One million sign petition to cancel Trump's UK state visit

London (AFP) - A petition demanding Britain cancel a planned state visit by US President Donald Trump passed one million signatures on Monday, following outrage over his travel ban on mainly Muslim countries.

"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," the petition on parliament's website says.

"Donald Trump's well-documented misogyny and vulgarity disqualifies him from being received by Her Majesty the Queen or the Prince of Wales."

Parliamentary petitions can be signed by anyone with a British postcode and those doing so are asked if they are a UK resident or citizen. Such petitions must be considered by lawmakers if they attract more than 100,000 signatures.

Last January parliament debated banning Trump from Britain following a petition signed by nearly 600,000 people, after the then White House candidate promised to drastically restrict US entry to people from Muslim countries if he became president.

Trump on Friday signed an executive order suspending the arrival of all refugees for at least 120 days, Syrian refugees indefinitely -- and barring citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days.

Australian leadership is pretty good right now.

My country is committed to letting fake Syrian refugees destroy us. (Canada)

My prediction, IF Trump prevails against Congress and the Judiciary, over the years, as Canada and Europe collapse into terror by Muslim rape gangs, the US will be able put a premium on immigration. I could see the US demanding immigration bonds, say of $50,000 US, and there will be plenty of Canadians willing to pay it, to keep their families safe.

I think Assad is a better ally than May. Kick the UK from NATO and replace it with Syria.

This UK petition was probably financed by George $oreA$$.

Are you are tired of the George $oreA$$ whores/pimps trying to destroy President Trump and Americans?

Any Freepers, who feel that George $orea$$ is funding this latest hatred against Trump. Please go to the White House and sign this petition to arrest George $orea$$!

Issue an International Arrest Warrant for George Soros
Help the petition reach its goal, share with others:

London in a suicidal fit of PCism elected a Muslim Mayor.

London may beyond salvation and not worth saving.

The people in the counties out from London like Devon and Cornwall used to be very conservative and pro America/American. They probably haven’t changed that much.
