Donald Trump Ban on UK Still Being Debated

Around 50 MPs turned up for the three-hour debate to discuss banning Donald Trump from entering Britain.

On Monday MPs gathered in Westminster Hall to debate whether or not Donald Trump should be allowed to visit Britain, after over 500,000 Brits signed a petition calling for Trump to be banned from the UK.

Prime Minister David Cameron has condemned Trump’s remarks as “divisive, stupid and wrong”.

According to United Kingdom law, any petition which garners at least 100,000 verifiable signatures automatically triggers a parliamentary debate on the issue.

Lawmakers who spoke against a ban argued that Trump’s comments were a matter of free speech and that the debate was giving him what he wanted by generating more publicity.

However, most members of the parliament believe that Trump’s ban would be counter-productive.

Mondays debate was meant to air the subject rather than take a vote.

Ms Shah added: “In my Islam and the ground I understand, in Surah [Chapter] 41 and verse 34 it teaches that goodness is better than evil”.

Using an acronym for the Islamic State, Dromey suggested that the terrorist group and Trump were co-dependent: “ISIS needs Donald Trump and Donald Trump needs ISIS”.

“If legislation has been practised before and other people stopped from coming into the country, the same rules need to apply to Donald Trump, which is why I feel he should not have been given a visa to visit the multicultural country that we are so proud of”.

“I want to see Donald Trump come to this country….”

But Kwazi Kwarteng, a historian and one of a relatively small number of black members of Parliament, argued that to focus on King and ignore Trump was to disregard the streak of nativism that has always run through American politics. But for Americans watching, it was useful proof that Trump is a reviled and preposterous figure to our most important ally and that America would be the laughingstock of the world if we elect him. “He is free to be a fool, he is not free to be a risky fool on our shores”, he said.

Mr Dromey (Lab Erdington) was among a host of MPs to criticise the man in the running to be United States president for calling for a ban on Muslims.

The topic drew plenty of support from the British lawmakers, who don’t actually have the power ban anyone.

But he and other senior officials have said they do not think Trump should be banned. Instead, she said she would welcome him and challenge him on his views by showing him the British Muslim community.

Trump responded to the firestorm in Britain by saying the country was trying to disguise a “massive Muslim problem” and threatening to withhold $1 billion (950 million euros) of planned investments in two golf courses he owns in Scotland.
