Well, I also think that Voldemort has the better looks.
JK Rowling is saying Trump is worse than Voldemort. Another half witted celebrity being somewhat politically inspired and releasing her brain-fart to brainwash the young. If all her idiotic followers on Twitter sign up, Donald might get the UK ban hammer.
I sneakily omitted that in my attempt at spin. You thwarted me.You gonna be our number two presenter of disingenuous spin from here on? The whole story would consist of the very simple fact that the whole stupid decision (ruling) was overturned. The embarrassing thing being that it took 7 months when it should not have been (made) necessary at all.
NOT. You even quoted me.You do realize that Geert Wilders at one point was denied entry in the UK (it had to be overruled) and he's the diet soda version of Trump?
Can I launch a petition to ban anybody who votes for him from the UK?
Although anybody who did would automatically be one of those Americans who has not got a passport, so no need.

Maybe that's because an absence of hair frees one from the temptation to do absolutely silly things with it.
Yeah, edits made quick enough don't show that they've been made. But I know what the original post said.I sneakily omitted that in my attempt at spin. You thwarted me.

He was denied entry, period. Doesn't matter whether it was overruled, it happened.
And they want to ban the poor guy from entry. I mean, Haysoos Christo he's smitten enough as it is.The hair is looking worse and worse every day. It undoubtedly looked better on whatever species of animal it came from.
nor would they have a clue as to the direction to set forth on :mrgreen:The people who will vote for Trump are good 'Murikans'. They have no desire to ever leave the country................
I often do make quick edits but this is ridiculous. It is included in your quote hence you should have noticed it:Yeah, edits made quick enough don't show that they've been made. But I know what the original post said.
[h=1]Britons launch campaign to ban Donald Trump from the UK[/h]
When can we add Britons to the list of people The Donald has alienated?
I totally agree.I am getting a bit sick of stupid petitions attempting to make facile gestures as if the idea that banning someone from entering the country might make them change their behaviour. We've got Trump and Tyson Fury both on the receiving end of these online campaigns at the moment. Not only will it not have the slightest influence on what they do or say, it just makes the country look intolerant, paranoid and fearful of political arguments that are as easily refuted as they are offensive.
Let him come, put him on Newsnight or QT and watch how a properly free media rips him a new one - none of that supine, soft-balling he'll be used to. I'd buy a PPV of Trump vs. Paxman. I'd love to see that bout!
Kay, I take it all back and will henceforth declare the exact opposite.I often do make quick edits but this is ridiculous. It is included in your quote hence you should have noticed it:

If I make an edit in a post, it does not change in anybody's quote. That's not how vBulletin works.
It fits with the "safe spaces" trend. Might as well make the whole UK a "safe space" for liberals and muslim extremists. Some weird bedfellows.I totally agree. The whole venture is completely infantile.
Approaching midnight on day one, the petition is currently at 22,816. 100,000 triggers a parliamentary debate!
Nearly a quarter of the way there on the first day. How long do they have?

Donald Trump says "nasty" things and might get thrown out upon attempted entry in Britain but Anjem Choudary still gets benefits and to stay wherever his smelly ass is sitting. Did I wake up in bizarro world today?
I don't know! Maybe a month, or perhaps they just run out of steam, and drop off the radar. The Trump ban one is doing 500 votes an hour right now, but might flag in a day or two, and not make it to the magic 100,000.

The 500 votes an hour was because it was sleeping time at the time of your posting. Well, it's at 79,277 signatures now. I'd guess either today or tomorrow, they'll reach that figure.I don't know!
