Over 1 million Brits sign petition against Trump

Brits are outraged over the Queen inviting Trump to a state dinner, and over 1 million of them have signed a petition against it. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

People who are legal residents of the US are still being detained at airports across the country, so it seems that turnabout is fair play for President Trump. You don't get to unilaterally ban people and then expect to be welcomed anywhere else.

Yes, it will. The speed with which all this is happening is alarming. Even if I put aside the protests, organized marches, and strikes happening within our own borders, I am doubly alarmed by the rate at which Trump is eroding the Special Relationship we have with one of our strongest allies on the World stage.

It's very alarming to watch the rate at which those signing the petition is growing. It can be monitored HERE.

It took only 10 days for Trump to force a Parliamentary debate to decide whether/not the leader of our country should be banned from convening with the leader of one of our closest allies.

Watching the rate at which that ticker refreshes is like watching the rate at which our country's diplomatic relationships are crumbling. If this is the reaction Trump elicits from our allies, what hope should we have regarding our enemies?

Maybe She will be next Trump wife!!!!

I do no like Trump.

Are you offended by my gifs, hork?

Many are offended by your posts.

Well, that gif was clearly condescending and nasty. Which also makes it hypocritical. Is anyone surprised?

The petition is now very close to 2 million signatures and Parliament will debate the issue on February 20th.

The debate can be watched live, online @ http://parliamentlive.tv/ but keep in mind that there's a time difference (in my case, London's time is 6 hours later).

Sadly, some ignorant Republicans will see that as a good thing.

It sure does. I'm afraid that's never going to go out of style.
