British politicians seriously debate banning Trump from UK
I think I’d probably crack a few jokes about what Trump means to the British people. Tory MP Victoria Atkins said Trump was “bonkers” and her constituents would brand him a “wazzock” (annoying person).
Despite the division over the ban, MPs were united in condemning Trump.
The Democratic National Committee gleefully highlighted the debate, and linked to live web video of the debate in London, saying it was “shameful” that a Republican presidential candidate was the subject of such a debate.
Because of Trump’s proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States, the candidate received backlash in a form of a petition signed by 575,000 people. His comments followed an incident in December in San Bernadino, California, in which 14 people were killed and 22 were seriously injured by husband and wife terrorists Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik. This was more of an airing of grievances, an opporunity for them to discuss Trump and his devisive policies in consideration that’s he’s winning the race to become the Republican’s nominee.
Trump owns a Scottish golf course, and his mother was born in Scotland.
“I think we may already be in error in giving him far too much attention in the way that this petition is singled on him but he has done some remarkable things which have caused a great deal of upset”.
Similar to American law, British law requires Parliament to put any topic to a debate if the petition reaches 100,000 signatures. His words are poisonous.Prime Minister David Cameron has condemned Trumps remarks about Muslims as divisive, stupid and wrong, but he and other senior officials have said they do not think Trump should be banned.
“If we were to go down the road of banning Mr. Trump, where would we draw the line?” another MP said.
Ms Wilson criticised Mr Trump’s political statements, but added: “Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock can not afford to spurn the investment of the Trump Organisation because the head of the family business is spouting right-wing rhetoric”.
On Donald trump’s behavior, Sir Keir Starmer, a Labour Party lawmaker said, “that is not buffoonery, that is absolutely repugnant”. Britain also turned away anti-Islam Dutch legislator Geert Wilders at an airport in 2009.
The SNP’s Corri Wilson, who represents Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock which covers Turnberry, said staff at the resort were overwhelmingly behind Mr Trump’s involvement.
“I made a decision to invite Donald Trump on his visit to Britain to come with me to my constituency because he has problems with Mexicans and he has problems with Muslims”, he told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show on Sunday.
Even though the Labour Party spokesman on home affairs, Jack Dromey, argued that Trump shouldn’t be “allowed within a 1,000 miles of our shore”, most members of Parliament wanted Trump to visit the United Kingdom, either to answer for his comments or to possibly meet British Muslims.
“In that event, would such a ban be overturned, since it would be one almighty snub to the American citizens to which you have been referring”.
