    This is not only Britain; Trump's latest proclamations have appalled right-thinking people globally, and their message is clear; or are we to be led to believe that only Trump and his cabinet are right in this matter? Add to this his dreadfully inappropriate behaviour and comments about women and minority groups, his pathological lies, his complete ignorance of the nuances of diplomacy, and is it any wonder he is being vilified around the world-even by America's traditional allies? We don't want him anywhere near Great Britain.

    The problem is, unfortunately, that Trump's followers in their arrogance are still thinking that the US has the military and economic power to do whatever it wants and the rest has to follow ... or give to opinion of others in the world a crap.


    The reality will catch them quickly and there will be an awful awakening about the actual strength and weight of the US.

    The denunciation of the Pacific trade agreement and the subsequent reaction of China should already give all Trumponians a thought ... because against whom was this agreement still in preparation? China! And that Trump does China not like we all know. So strange that after trumps announcement in Beijing the Champagne corks popped and a victory over the USA was celebrated, eh?

    And this is the era of dumbing down so the dim-witted masses are bound to be the majority?

    Oh, I expect the petition will really gain support once they've begun to circulate it in Arabic ...

    Where was everyone when Obama banned travel from Iraq for six months?

    The petition is useless. They'll have to debate it, but wont actually make any decisions or change the outcome.
    But I guess if 1 million people have signed the petition, about 60-odd million haven't....

    And not a single (*)(*)(*)(*) was given by America.

    The UK has just restarted and re-strengthened it's alliance with America. Theresa May has found an ally in Trump. Nigel Farage has found an ally in Trump. Many UK citizens have found an ally in Trump. No one is paying any attention to a petition. It's completely meaningless in the big picture.

    Well I do and so do many other British. But this petition is nonsense.

    What is more worrying. Is Americans like you having no respect even to your own Allies.

    Should we? For allies that have used, abused, bullied, and exploited us for eight years? Our allies had no respect for us and continue to by demanding respect. Respect is earned, not given. Maybe our allies need to take a step back and reset relations if they want respect.

    The whole petition is a joke. There are at least 5 million Muslims in the UK. One third of British Muslims are extremists. And they don't even hide that. They believe in Sharia law, they believe in segregation, they approve of terrorism in the name of Islam etc...I'm actually surprised two millions of them didn't sign up so far.

    Lol and the petition to re-vote the results of the Brexit referendum got 4 million votes. How did that work out, huh? It wasn't worth the hard drive space it was stored on. Oh libs, lose, whine, sign a useless petition, throw a temper tantrum or twenty, rinse, repeat. :roflol:

    Really? Where were you in the Congo or Rwanda genocides? Oh yes, there was no quid pro quo for America.

    This is nothing to do with 'libs'. You may not have noticed but there is also considerable dissent within Trump's own cabinet and among conservatives generally as regards his policies. Brexit was nothing to do with political affiliation either; there were divisions on both sides. You really must learn to keep up.

    Oh no, a million Euro-lefties don't like Trump. We must have made a really big mistake, because what they want is really important to the US.

    There are slightly more than 3 million Muslims in Britain, not 'at least 5 million'. There is nothing wrong with Sharia as it stands in Britain; Sharia councils perform the same function as the Jewish Beth Din courts. They act as tribunals where both parties voluntarily submit to the ruling of the council on matters of divorce, debt etc. Naturally all you see is Sharia=beheading. Where is your evidence that one third of Muslims approve of terrorism? Don't tell me; you read it in the Daily Mail or heard Farage spewing his idiotic racist bollocks.

    Petition is nonsense.

    So is this American Anger. Spitting hate in all directions. Their anger at the American left is spilling over to Europe.

    But who cares?

    It is their problem. They need to learn respect.

    You made a huge mistake; you just don't know it yet. By the way that number includes conservatives-and not just in Great Britain. There are protests happening all over the world.

    Right, those "conservative" Euro-lefties. We're really, really upset we lost support from them.

    So you should be. Soon the only support you'll have is from your pet poodle, Israel. Trump is pissing off everyone including long-standing allies; and that's fine. Welcome to isolationist, fascist America where everything will soon cost enormously more because of his idiotic policies. Of course that won't matter to Trump and his billionaire elite buddies who have just re-filled the swamp.

    This petition. Nothing happen. Idealistic liberals sign it and it be ignored by the British Government. A storm in a tea cup.

    But the Trump supporters. Your war with the American Left is not in the UK.

    Spitting hate at the British makes you appear more lost than your liberals waving "Vagina" signs.

    Trump got 50 million odd signatures to refuse people entry to US. You've got a while to go yet so I won't take up any more of your time.

    Frankly- I'm thoroughly ashamed- and it's not a sensation I welcome.

    - - - Updated - - -

    OK- Temporary President Trump.

    He's only there because Billary was worse- that's understood.

    No, it's Trump. When he starts behaving like a president he'll get the respect he has earned (if at all), and not what is being demanded by you.
