Really?

You can see why the UK known for its freedom... Oh wait no it isn't

The UK has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech. The same principles should apply to everyone who wishes to enter the UK.

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.


And fuck me its already got Two Hundred Thousand signatures

Yes really, it's already passed the 100k benchmark, so now parliament has to debate it.

For the record I'm not saying he isn't a douche but we shouldn't just be able to 'vote' who shouldn't come into the UK

I agree.

Well first off, it's not my petition, I'm just letting more people know about it so more people sign it. And secondly, yes, you could easily sign it through a proxy. This is how it's supposed to work: https://petition.parliament.uk/help

LMAO SO HARD!! The british are so spineless. This petition is completely pointless. Britain wouldn't give Narendra Modi a visa because of the Gujarat Riot Controversy in 2002, but as soon as he becomes PM you guys let him come to the UK no problem. If Trump becomes President you will roll out the red carpet for his entry and Cameron will shake his hand and I'll be laughing.


That being said I hope Trump doesn't becomes President.

Wow, people are seriously butthurt enough about Trump's statements to ban him? We're reaching new lows all the time.

I'm not even a Trump supporter, but I still think this is ridiculous. Banning "hate speech" is like opening a Pandora's box, because the definition of "hateful" and "offensive" is entirely subjective. If unchecked more and more speech will be banned/censored until there's little left to say.

Even more shocking is how European countries usually preach tolerance but have shown themselves to be quite intolerant of people they don't agree with. (This isn't the first time there's been a "Ban so-so because we don't like his politics!" petition coming from the U.K)

I'm convinced that Trump is a crazy extremist, yet he still holds just one appeal: Slapping down political correctness.

Godwin's Law.

Seriously, everyone made Hitler comparisons to Obama as well. The whole "Charismatic leader rises to power amidst economic turmoil/environment of fear" is such a shallow criteria that nearly every president can be compared to Hitler.

It's funny to see liberals make the same doomsday predictions about Trump that conservatives made about Obama.

the difference is that Trump regularly spouts hatespeech. and is fearmongering. and holds views that might have possibly been considered normal, hundreds of years ago. equally frightening, is that there is a large segment of America that has become xenophobic, panicky, irrational, and only interested in having scapegoats. They no longer care for the truth.

To compare Trump To Obama is just silly.

I'm aware of that, but this is a matter of principle. "Hate speech" is subjective and once we start censoring it we begin walking down a very bad path.

To compare Trump To Obama is just silly.

No, it's not. The reaction to both of them has been pretty similar. It's the same "Oh no someone from the other party is going to win it's the end of the world!" sentiment which happens in every election. It's all the same blind, demonizing, partisan BS that is ruining the U.S

Donald Trump is not going to destroy the U.S. The utter refusal of liberals and conservatives to stop censoring and demonizing each other is going to destroy the U.S.

Maybe. But that's not criteria to ban him. Its not like he killed someone, committed human rights abuses, orchestrated a ponzi scheme, or did anything even borderline criminal. You just want to ban him because 1) you don't agree with his politics and 2) you want to claim the moral high ground in the fight against terrorism and the migrant crisis. The people who signed the petition are no different from university SJWs who want to ban free speech and make college administrators slaves to political correctness.

Trump isn't a radical, but he is a total idiot, and a terrible speaker.

Why stop at all muslims? Yeah, many terrorists the US is dealing with follows some extreme Islam, but there are others who cause trouble; plus, lying about one's religion is very easy. If we are to stop terrorists from entering, we should close all borders to all people until we can figure out who we already have. That's the only effective way to do what Trump wants.

BTW don't sign the petition. You'd be banning somebody for his belief/views, which is exactly what said person wants to do.
