Will Britain Ban Trump?

Who will apologise? The people who put together the petition? The MPs who attacked his remarks? Why would they do that?

Terrorist acts have already happened in the UK, and a fair few plots have been foiled. And yet, public and political majority sentiment is against Trump. Which is actually surprising given the media coverage of Muslims:

"Terrorist acts have already happened in the UK, and a fair few plots have been foiled."
And I doubt you've seen the last."

Your system is the system that works for you. In the U.S. it would be strange to hear the same conversation about someone running for a Parliamentary position, but then you never know, we might not like their politics.

The other thing to remember is "fallout" caused by their comments also besmirches our candidate. I can imagine some might benefit but it's, I feel, unfair in this regard.

Apologies about past actions is useless and not required. But just imagine how Great Britain would feel if the places were reversed.

I thought it would be great, Banned in Britain.

Like Banned in Boston used to sell books and plays.

We have spent several hundred years trying to not be you.

Some things we try to avoid, following the European immigration disaster.

We did not have Empires, occupy other people's countries for hundreds of years, selling protection and opium.

I can understand the British concern, but we are not neck deep in Muslims, and we have a whole lot of guns.

What Trump said, polls have said 25% of American Muslims think violence here in support of worldwide Jihad is needed. Muslims by more than half say Shareia Law should be the only law. Trump thought we should not let unknown fighters from the middle east in until we can identify them.

Besides, we have some remedial work to do, explaining that overthrowing the government by violence, and replacing the legal code by force, are not acceptable religious practices. We told them to start with, you have to support the Constitution to come here, and they said they would. Now we learn their religion allows them to lie to infidels. I am all for religious freedom, and for jailing and deporting those who lie and swear false oaths on immigration papers.

I think we still ban Communists and Anarchists due to their Political goal of overthrowing the United States and replacing it with a Worker's Dictatorship or Nothing. Islam seems to be another incompatible Political System.

Also, tampering with our free and fair domestic elections should earn a lifetime ban from coming here, to any country that does.

Do we care about who is the Prime Minister of the Failed Empire Theme Park and Beer Museum?

You mean a mass shooting? You sort-of-but-definitely-not-really wish a mass shooting on the UK, because that might teach us to not be so 'progressive' and 'tolerant'?

On that note, if it helps, think of Muslims as you do gun owners. Most are fine, solid citizens. An odd few will enage in acts of violence and mass death.

As Barry Shitpeas had it, it must be horrible to be in the midst of an everyday mass shooting, only to realise it's actually a terror attack.

There is a huge difference from being "tolerant" and being extremely progressive to the point of complete stupidity.

I don't think you have a straightforward desire, but:

There are people in the US, the UK and other countries, that are homeless; yet refugees are taken in and given free housing and jobs. You don't see a problem with this? In the US, veterans are dying waiting on their medication and operations. Where is the support for veterans and the homeless?

I cannot speak for the US.

I can say that, in the UK, there would be homeless people whether or not we took refugees (last I heard, we're not taking many at all from Syria). It is not a practical matter, but one of political will. The UK government does not care that some of its citizens are homeless or hungry - in some cases, it has acted to make its citizens homeless and hungry - except where they are a social nuisance.

I hope Trump gets banned from all sorts of places, including Canada, the UK, Japan, the entire damn European Union... Maybe THEN he'll know what it would feel like for all the Mexicans and Muslims that would be prevented from entering the US under his hypothetical laws.

An attack on our First Amendment Rights is followed by an attack on our Second Amendment Rights, from people who have neither.

The problems of Syria will not be solved by taking a few refugees, the money would be better spent supporting people in Syria.

Key to this would be self elected morally superior western powers, reliving their lost glory days by destroying weak countries, and supplying arms to terrorists, quit making the problems worse.

It is not about Trump saying he would do background checks before allowing people in, it is about him saying he will totally destroy ISIS.
