President Trump and the State Visit to the UK

[crystal ball]

Is Jordan on the Gulf?

The Hopkins quote was referring to muslim countries, you introduced the Gulf bit, no Jordan is not on the Persian Gulf but it is on the Gulf of Aqaba. I fail to see the relevance of its geographical location

 

[REEMS]

People are forgetting the fact trump said its a temp ban.

 

[JohnD]

What makes you imagine that?

obamas lackey sally yates sacked.
Yeeeeee Haaaaaaa.

 

[blightymam]

obamas lackey sally yates sacked.
Yeeeeee Haaaaaaa.

Because she dared question Trump's legality of the ban.
Throw toys out the pram much Trump?

 

[Roger928]

Proper order. Reagan did it with the atc's.
If trump wants results he needs the right people.

Now go and get yer silly banner out and start protesting.
Yeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Interesting that so much is made of 1.5 million signing a petition. By simple maths that means around 63 million didn't sign it.

 

[JohnD]

Tell me how many have signed the "We want Trump to come on a State Visit" petition.

 

[Gerrydelasel]

Online petitions are ridiculous. All you have to do is enter an email address and click. Armchair activism.

 

[Roger928]

Tell me how many have signed the "We want Trump to come on a State Visit" petition.

No idea but its probably not that many. But then the silent majority aren't that bothered.
Aren't you out protesting today with yer anti tump banner?

 

[wobs]

The two petitions to date are:
Donald Trump should make a State Visit to the United Kingdom: 107,627
Prevent Donald Trump from making a State Visit to the United Kingdom: 1,675,729
Correct at the time of posting.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Imagining that the proportions remain the same, yet Trump still makes a State Visit, will there be an outcry that democracy is being ignored?

He ought to get on well with Phil.

 

[Gerrydelasel]

I wonder how many of those signatories are bots and non-UK nationals?

 

[JohnD]

I wonder how many of those signatories are bots and non-UK nationals?

I think Gerrydelasel is one.
