Stopping Donald Trump from coming to the UK risks turning him into a martyr, a Labour MP has claimed as the House of Commons debates the issue.

Paul Flynn said Mr. Trump's call to ban Muslims from the US was "extremely dangerous" but barring him from the UK risked being seen as anti-American.

However, SNP MP Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh said a ban would be justified on the grounds of "religious harmony".

Aye, lol.

if Donald Trump would apply to be issued the British passport that is his by right, I don’t think they could prevent his using it to enter Britain.

Trump not banned

Maybe he should make Michael Savage his running mate ...

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

So, a Brit says banning muslims from the U.S. is “extremely dangerous?”

Screw ‘em. The U.K. is already anti-American.

The UK will become a PC third world country controlled by their PC protected Muslims. The entire UK will become a no go Muslim controlled area.

With nuclear weapons and treaty obligations from the United States to defend them.

What a joke !

The UK hosted a state visit for the communist dictator of china in 2015.

He got the Queen, the red carpet, the cavalry, the gilded carriage, and even those “herald” guys with the gold coats and the bugles.

so while the “mother of Parliaments” bow and scrape for some democracy-hating dictator, Trump gets barred ?

[fr_freak]

lol...wow. What happens when he becomes President?

"I very much appreciate your apology, Britain. To show there are no hard feelings, I'd like to present you with a little bust I had made of myself. Perhaps you would care to display it in Parliament for a year or so?"

[John Valentine]

It was avery silly idea on the first place.

With nuclear weapons and treaty obligations from the United States to defend them.

That just made the hair on my arms and the nape of my neck stand up, my inherited DNA warning system.

[Grampa Dave]

Actually, allowing Muslims into your country is extremely dangerous. not to mention extremely stupid. A brief review of their 1400 year history of conquest/domination reveals that.

Exactly Jim. Every Muslim admitted is capable of being a dangerous Trojan horse, aka the lone wolf killer. Or in tandem like the San Bernardino killers and the Boston Marathon killers.

Yes. Trump has mentioned several times that one of hi weaknesses is forgiving someone who has lied or been disloyal to him. I think this British snub will really set him off. It will be interesting if he makes his feelings known publicly.

As for the Brits, they're finished.
