Trump’s transatlantic antics aren’t going down too well here in Britain…

A move to block Donald J Trump from entering the UK has resulted in the country’s most popular petition ever.

Over 560,000 people have signed up to show their support, and the figure is rising daily.

That means it’s well past the 100,000 signature benchmark that means Parliament will consider the topic for a debate.

The petition follows a number of high-profile marks made by the US Republican presidential candidate, including a call to ban Muslims from entering the US.

Trump also hit out at the UK’s supposed “massive Muslim problem” in a tweet:

“The UK has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech,” reads the anti-Trump petition. “The same principles should apply to everyone who wishes to enter the UK.”

It continues: “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.”
Here’s a list of the top ten most-signed petitions to Parliament (of a total 4,109 at the time of writing) in the UK:

1. Block Donald J Trump from UK entry – 560,598
2. Stop all immigration and close UK borders until ISIS is defeated – 453,809
3. Accept more asylum seekers and increase support for refugee migrants in the UK – 448,269
4. Make the production, sale, and use of cannabis legal – 233,751
5. To debate a vote of no confidence in Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt – 227,517
6. Vote no on military action in Syria against IS in response to the Paris attacks –226,367
7. Stop allowing immigrants into the UK – 212,354
8. Vote no confidence in David Cameron – 196,607
9. No UK airstrikes on Syria – 188,482
10. Introduce tax on sugary drinks in the UK to improve children’s health –153,104

UK Parliament criticises Donald Trump, but won't ban him

British MPs from all parties have denounced US presidential candidate Donald Trump, but he will not be banned from entering the country as suggested by a popular petition.

Don’t turn him into a victim – British MPs debate Trump ba

A debate is underway in the UK on banning Donald Trump from Britain.

More than 575,000 people signed the petition to ban Mr Trump from the UK due to his proposal to prevent Muslim people from entering the United States.

During a debate today, many MPs derided him, but the overall consensus was that banning him from entering was disproportionate and would likely be counter-intuitive.

The debate was held outside of the main Commons Chamber, and was non-binding, but was a good indicator of MPs' sentiment towards the 69-year-old property magnate.

MP Paul Flynn questioned what the point of the debate was at all, if it was non-binding, saying "we may already be in error in giving [Donald Trump] far too much attention".

I'm glad they got that off their chest and pandered to their Muslim population. It's clear Muslims aren't getting enough attention in the UK. I can only hope that all the Muslim immigrants, not citizens of course, but immigrants in the US, pack and catch the first plane to London to their more welcoming environment. Or if London's full, hop on over to Israel. Apparently they don't have enough either since they were hating on Donald like the UK over his Muslim immigrant ban.

It's sad how far "once-great Britain" has fallen.

Shows what happens when the native population is overwhelmed by immigration. JMO

Gov't did a good job banning their own people from thinking. Wait till the muslims run parliament, see how the populace likes it then.

UK & other European countries are DOWN THE DRAIN. USA does not take in Europeans, too bad. We only take welfare people that over produce babies including muslims & foreigners that take our jobs at half our pay rate. They too will reproduce & claim rights to be here, bring their entire family. So we will be in just as bad a situation down the road.

It has to end now and Trump is the ONLY ONE with the will and skills to stop it.
