UK Parliament Will Debate Barring Donald Trump from Entering Country
NBC News ^ | 01/05/2016 | Carrie Dann

Posted on 01/05/2016 11:56:31 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The British parliament will formally debate a petition later this month from backers wishing to prevent Donald Trump from entering the United Kingdom.

The debate is set for January 18, according to a government announcement Tuesday. The petition, launched after Trump announced his proposal to bar Muslims from entering the United States, has garnered over 568,000 signatures to date.

Online petitions like the one targeting Trump are automatically considered for debate by a Petitions Committee if they garner more than 100,000 signatures.

The petition reads: "The signatories believe Donald J Trump should be banned from UK entry. The UK has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech. The same principles should apply to everyone who wishes to enter the UK. If the United Kingdom is to continue applying the 'unacceptable behaviour' criteria to those who wish to enter its borders, it must be fairly applied to the rich as well as poor, and the weak as well as powerful."

If Trump becomes POTUS, guess that means he won’t make an official state visit to UKistan.

It will be interesting to see who in Parliment calls for the banning of Trump. If Trump is elected, that person might find themselves banned from the US. hehehe

All the more reason to elect Trump. We’re not going to allow the MSM, dems or GOPe tell us who to vote for this time, and we’re for d#@! sure not going to let Britain or any other country tell us who to vote for.

This will only help Trump get the nomination.
One could ask if that is what they want.

When the dhimmi Brits are forced to learn Arabic, they’ll WISH they were speaking German!

He won’t need to.

Wherever islam goes, it creates a shithole in it’s wake. If they succeed in the vote, the UK will no longer be of any relevance.
Britain will just be another common iSlum.

Well, ISIS wants to turn Buckingham Palace into a mosque.

Guess that would mean the British royal family ends up in exile (Canada?)...although airhead Charles loves the Saudis...perhaps he will convert.

Well, I guess I should say good luck to the UK if they ever need to invoke Article Five of the NATO treaty. Trump will simply let them know they can have his response in person in front of Parliament and if they won’t have him in the UK then too bad.

I’m no fan of Trump, but that’s pathetic.

Charles can convert all he wants, there’s no way they put him in charge or let him keep the palace. They will have him clean out the stables for sport.
