"He wants to ban all Muslims from entering USA...that's generalising. So to be fair we should look to ban all Donald a Trumps from entering UK. Then it isn't a personal thing!" But does that not infringe the right to so called....free speech .... Or does it actually affirm his belief political correctness in the uk actually perpetuates many of the problems he feels could be solved by banning certain people from entering the country | |||

"He's an idiot" Actually no, as idiot derives from a Greek term that denotes a person who specifically does NOT take part in public life. He's a buffoon. | |||

"we allow hate preachers to incite hate, and grant them uk passports, don trump has his opinions, but says his out loud, let him in he has not broke any uk laws" He follows an extremest political _iew but he has done nothing wrong. It should never have been a question for us anyway, we should stay out of the US presidential race. | |||

"People have been banned for having said a lot less. However, I feel banning Trump will hand him a propaganda victory. "and maybe even more votes in his desire to be the nominee from the Republicans.. I am opposed to banning him, let him come and visit some of the places he wrongly described as no go area's and meet the people of all cultures who by and large live together ok in this country.. | |||

It's not racism. It is xenophobic. And the reason why is clear. To be so fearful of so many based on the actions of so few is ridiculous. And it stems from problem evidenced before by Trump: his fear of people different from himself. Build a wall to keep out the mexicans who are rapists and murderers, put a temporary (yet undefined) ban on Muslims entering the country because of a small number of attacks, etc. If that is his answer to anything troubling in the world then I don't need him to be President.

The US kills more people than any other group around the world. Perhaps we should be banned from ever leaving American shores. My point is that it is a small number of muslim people in the US who do these things. Bad people do things in the US all the time. At the same time as the shooting in California that was attributed to Isis sympathisers happened, a crazy Christian dude shot up an abortion clinic in Colorado. You barely even heard of it over here. Acts of violence happen all over the place for difference reasons. Many times bad things happen because of Christianity, or racism, or nationalism. If the answer of someone running for the president of the United States is to just keep everyone out then I call that childish, counterproductive, and xenophobic. -Courtney | |||

"Islam is on the march. This is a real threat to everyone" Just like Christianity has been. The majority of Muslims deplore the actions of Isis. Certainly something must be done about this radical and dangerous organisation but if Donald had his way Mexicans and Muslims would be banned and then what next? Afro Caribbean's? Italian's? Irish? | |||

"There is also a petition on the gov web site for a halt on all imigration to the uk ! It has a lot of people signed up Are they all racists are do they have genuine concerns ? We must allow people to express their _iews even if we dont agree thats how debates are created." Yes we should. I don't think anyone has a problem with that. This isn't about immigration to the UK and no one has suggested people opposed to immigration are racists. Not sure where you came to that conclusion but it is a long thread and you could be forgiven for going off track a little. | |||

But we don't have free speech as you are talking about it.
Hate speech is illegal. We have banned many Muslim extremists and nazi holocaust deniers. Trump is no different. "Trump has not called for violence, death to other people in the same way some of the hate preachers and extremists you mention have. So he is different in that way. Inciting violence and death is illegal, saying a group of people should be banned isn't. | |||

I can't believe all the wasted taxpayers money spent on this debate personally..."
Good post, not only a waste of tax payers money, but also a risk of Trump withdrawing hundreds of millions of pounds of investment into Scotland and the rest of the UK. Trump is probably secretly enjoying it though, it's played right into his hands and given him more free publicity and media air time. | |||

"Now if you banned all trumps from entering the UK it would be a far better smelling place. But personally I'm against banning people, for opinions. If they are a danger or don't meet visa requirements that's different. " Unfortunately, opinions become a danger. Anyway, the UK will NOT ban a US president past,present or future, dead or alive.

"Bring him over. let him do what Mitt Romney did in 2012 and make himself look the idiot he is and its sorted. Comedy is a great thing ... The Yanks produce a nutjob every 4 years. Palin in 2008, Romney in 2012 and now Trump the Chump. Same shit different year in the US of A. Banning him makes him look a martyr and Yanks love a Yank 'Heerooo'. So no don't feed the Troll. Just take him walkabout in London where he says we can't go. Oh and face the UK media who are a bit more savvy than the lickarsed Fox News he is promoted by. As for banning people its been forgotten that 20 British families have already been stopped from boarding Aircraft in the UK bound for the USA. I guess the fact they were Muslim really had no bearing on the US Authorities' decisions .... " Indeed. | |||

" Should Donald Trump be banned from entering the UK..... "he has his opinions and supporters sure and talks a big game and is not very much fond off mexicans or muslims in a sense and in general.. if the U.K. decides to ban him from entering then so be it, if not and he comes then it is what it is sure a load of EDL or BNP/Britain first types will flock to his side when and if he comes but let em have their rallies and speech's etc... if trump loses the election then he goes back to just talking about money etc and doing his usual business antics. | |||

It will be guaranteed that all those groups would flock behind trump because off his opinions and how they see it as "freedom of speech" and half off em would be buzzing off it so it does not matter to me whether he comes here or not. None the less if trump loses his presidential campaign then he goes back to his TV shows and business stuff.....if he wins and becomes president then god help us all but I can't say I would be surprised if he did. | |||

Obama needs to realise not all of us are poodles like Blair was to Bush and we won't all fall in line because he says so.

" Should Donald Trump be banned from entering the UK..... "No! And here is why? He may be a total cock, but he is reflecting a growing opinion across the non Muslim world. Plus he lives in the USA where freedom of speech is protected in the US constitution. And finally, how would banning him from the UK work if he wins the US Presidential Election? Do you think we should refuse to have any political dealings with our biggest ally if he is elected? | |||

"At least one of those two have left for Syria so are no longer a threat to us.

"elements of the Islamic faith are using terror to create division and increase tension, to say 'Islam is on the march' is probably the sort of thing they want to hear.. as for the black flag over this country it will never happen, end of.. That sounds a bit like the attitude that was prevalent in this country in the 1930's and led to the 'Peace in our time' speech. That did not end too well for the people living in our towns and cities... if your going to pick a comparison then a nation mobilised and nigh on militarised which had by the time Chamberlain stood with that piece of paper in his hand in Croydon already engaged in offensive military action and a terrorist group in Syria and Iraq with no chance of invading this land doesn't work.. thats not saying they are not a bunch of dangerous murdering scum and we should as we have done since the 70.s remain vigilant.. perspective is all, some people ramping up the threat are doing so to also stir up trouble within our communities.. My point was one more about complacency, and the willingness do dismiss threats out of hand when it is patently obvious that they are a real and growing danger. Maybe you should watch channel 4's 'The jihadist next door'. It may open your eyes to how real the threat is. no one is saying they are not a threat.. as for complacency just whom do you think is being complacent, the government? the teachers (see the terrace/terrorist thread..)? and who is 'dismissing' any threat..? perspective is again brought to the fore.. as is vigilance, common sense and living one's lives as we have done since the 70's when PIRA were the main threat.. i dont need to watch any particular programme ty.. Best we ignore it. It'll go away. It's the English way." strangely at odds with your post above about the 'black flag'..? | |||

"Is Sarah Palin the kiss of death to the turds campaign? The other ignorant one who, last time around, claimed she could see Russia from the USA. I do know the turd is given too much publicity - all for free. " Actually no matter how much I dislike Palin she was and is correct when she says you can see Russia from Alaska. The island of Little Diomede is part of the state of Alaska, the island of Big Diomede is part of Russia, they are separated by less than 3 miles of sea. And for 4 to 6 months of the year the Bering Strait is frozen solid and without border controls you could drive across the ice. In fact during WW2 the USA sent supplies to the Soviet Union by that route... | |||

"Let him in and let the Brits wield satire to tear him to shreds. It has been said that this would send him home with his tail between his legs. Problem is, he just deflects reality. Nothing computes under that weird ass hair. Would he be too stupid to recognise humiliation and ridicule? I guess we can still help mark him out for the pointless freak he is in the eyes of rational, empathic, proper human beings. " . Apparently it's rude to use satire and ridicule on somebody that holds firm beliefs... And mr trump really believes his shit! Me I love being rude, so bring him on | |||

"He's a bufoon but a very dangerous one. He preaches to the ignorant and uneducated who will think his ideas are the answer to all their problems. Most rational thinking people will know you could never implement his ideas ie ban Muslims from entering the USA. He says things to get as much airtime as possible. That's what wins elections over there unfortunately." It may win him the Republican nomination (although that's still far from certain) but I doubt he'll win the Presidency. From a party political point of _iew he is for the Republican party a similar, but far extreme, version as Jeremy Corbyn is for Labour here. There biggest appeal is to the more extreme wings of their respective party or even people who previously were considered too extreme to even be in their party. Neither has strong appeal in the middle ground and none at all with people on the opposite side of the left/right political divide. Without the middle ground and possibly some cross divide support you can not win a national election either her or in the US. | |||

"How can you be racist about a religion ? Do tell You can't! You know that surely? He's still racist though. Prey tell how anyone is racist for asking for a `TEMPORY` ban on followers of a certain religeon that is causing fear and avoc all around the world until checks are in order to find out who is coming in." How would such a stupid ban work? Do they ask at arrival "Are you, or have you ever been a Muslims?". Do you really think Ali with his bomb is going to tell the truth? Do they just exclude people who are currently Muslim or anyone who has ever been Muslim? The world 'Muslim' actually means 'one who submits (to God)'; by that definition most Christians and many Jews would also have to be banned. The whole idea is simply reticules and completely unworkable. It's clear to me that Trump is either an idiot or an opportunist demagogue. I'll go with demagogue myself. What really worries me is that some can't see this for themselves. | |||

"Hello Bedbath, "Prey tell how anyone is racist for asking for a `TEMPORY` ban on followers of a certain religeon that is causing fear and avoc all around the world until checks are in order to find out who is coming in." At last, someone who listened to the whole of his statement. The majority only seem to think he was advocating a total ban. It was a totally political point, as many Americans would ban Muslims and also he was putting pressure on the current administration. Idiot, I don't think so. Alec" I have heard the full speech, i know he said temporary, i still think he's an opportunist demagogue. I bad, unworkable idea is still a bad unworkable idea even if it's only meant to be temporary. | |||
