British MPs have spent three hours in the House of Commons debating whether to ban US presidential hopeful Donald Trump from the UK.
The debate was sparked by a petition, signed by more than 570,000 people, calling for Mr Trump to be banned from entering the UK after his comments about Muslims and Mexicans.
MPs from all sides criticised Mr Trump during the heated discussion, branding him an "attention seeker", a "fool", a "buffoon", a "demagogue" and a "wazzock" — British slang for a stupid or annoying person.

“Freedom of speech is dead in the UK. Muslims are taking over the country. It is just a matter of time.”
You do realize Trump made it clear after the attempted mass murder of Pam Geller and her cartoon contest of mad mo that you shouldn’t be allowed to mock mad mo.
Prince Harry should marry one of the beautiful young women in the Trump clan and Donald can give the young couple a condo in his Scots resort and big bucks as a wedding gift, and we’ll all be friends.
FYI: Trump did not say that "you shouldn't be allowed to mock" Mohammed. These are some of the tweets he posted. FYI: I am a Trump supporter, but I don't agree with him on this one. Self-censorship is the worst of all.
Nobody would fight harder for free speech than me but why taunt, over and over again, in order to provoke possible death to audience. DUMB!
The U.S. has enough problems without publicity seekers going out and openly mocking religion in order to provoke attacks and death. BE SMART
What would you do if a large group of Muslims had a very public meeting drawing horrible and mocking cartoons of Jesus? Oh really, be cool!
“wazzock”? lol That’s a new one.
Trump should yank out every dime he’s invested in England. They’ll be crawling over glass to kiss up once he’s POTUS.
Wow, they must think Trump is a Dentist.
Anti Dentites, all of them.
Why not a buzzcock?
We’ve had enough dickheads.
“Donald Trump branded a ‘fool’, ‘buffoon’ and ‘wazzock’ by British MPs”
.....and when the Donald gets elected the Brits will be kissing his feet.....what goes round comes round/
And I label all British politicians “cuckolds”...
Who cares about the opinion of politicians who are enabling the rapists and invaders ruining their country?
The fact of a debate and that millions of Brits are discussing this would suggest otherwise.
No, they aren’t. PC stupidity yes. 96% of the UK is non-Muslim. 92% of the UK is white European.
Yes, it is. But this was a debate only, which had to happen due to procedure. And we debated the counter-petition.
Two points, folks:
1-—This was a debate only, no vote. There was never any ban on the table. Only the Home Sec can impose a ban, NOT politicians. The counter-petition to welcome Trump to the UK was also debated. And due to the petition numbers, this HAD to be debated, no matter how stupid. Parliamentary procedure.
2—Whilst I understand the anger here at the UK, this was a petition signed by 1 in every 100 Brits. Literally 99 out of a 100 Brits did NOT sign this. And many Brits do not support any sort of ban on Trump and others.
The UK is NOT Muslim, nor is it run by or will be run by Islam. It has a problem with extremist Islam and radicalised youth. But the UK is still 96% NON Muslim, 92% White European. Whilst the UK may have a problem with Islam currently, any idea that the UK is or is going to be Muslim is a complete nonsense.
This is a UK where conservatives rule in gov, where the fastest rising party is even more conservative, and where support for leaving the EU is fast growing.
The UK has its problems, but its far healthier than Americans think.
Or police gunfire, and two men locked up for life.
1-—Yes, you need us. Britain and the British people remain an ally. Next time you go to war, try doing it without access to UK airspace, fuel supplies and British military and political support.
2—OTT. The UK is still a safe country to visit. We had a Scotsman murdered in your country last year, UK people get murdered on US holidays. So should we boycott your country for not being safe?. What do you seriously think is going to happen to her in London, Edinburgh, Belfast or Stratford Upon Avon?.
Look at the violence in your nation: she’d be safer living here!.
You support the guy that tells you he’s not PC but want’s you to be PC.
If that makes sense to you more power to you.
It’s the leaders of a country that need to learn to keep their mouths shut, be PC if you will, not the people.
Trump can’t do it.
History not your forte.
Nobody won 1812. Except the Canucks, who kicked your sorry asses out in 1813. And if you think you bailed us out in 1940 let alone 1917, try learning some real history.
Pity there is so much hatred for the British here. Most Brits like America.
UK politicians, NOT the people.
