Half a million people have signed a
petition calling for the US Presidential
candidate to be blocked on ‘hate
speech’ comments.
A petition to ban Donald Trump
from Britain has soared over 500,000
signatures – making it what is
thought to be the most popular ever.
A Mirror Online report shows that
more than half a million people have
signed the petition, which was
launched after the US presidential
hopeful called for all Muslims to be
barred from entering America.
The petition reads that the
“unacceptable behaviour” criteria
used to stop hate preachers entering
Britain “must be fairly applied to the
rich as well as poor, and the weak as
well as powerful”.
Smashing the 500,000 threshold
means the demand will be
considered for a Commons debate.
But Chancellor George Osborne says
the former US Apprentice star will
not be banned from Britain despite
his comments.
The Chancellor attacked the White
House hopeful’s “nonsense” remarks
– branding him “profoundly wrong”.
“I think the best way to defeat
nonsense like this is to engage in
robust, democratic debate and make
it very clear that his views are not
welcome,” he said.
“That is the best way to deal with
Donald Trump and his views, rather
than try to ban presidential
candidates.”
