If you actually read the text of the Executive order, it doesn't mention ANY country or countries at all. So you might well ask, where are the mainstream press getting their stories that Trump named or singled out, or banned 7 countries?

because it causes trouble and people then jump to conclusions and then it makes news

Could be!
People are apparently, intentionally or otherwise, not aware of the difference between the RESULTS of the E.O. versus the actual CONTENT of it.

I think a lot of the leave votes from the brexit referendum was to stop a lot of immigration (freedom of movement and possibly told by the EU how many refugees we may have to take) coming into this country.
We seem to think giving monetary aid to the refugee camps is better than opening our borders to a number of the refugees fleeing war torn countries.

I think at the moment it could be a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
How many other countries could Brits be welcome to come and stay in if we said we were christians

Which answer would protect the UK from the spread of disease the best ?

Should we

a) stop every person from entering the UK immediately

b) stop just those from countries where we know most will be of this genetic makeup and not worry immediately about the ones who wouldnt be a danger becaue they carry the extra protection.

c) Let everyone in so we dont infringe anyones human rights, and set about vetting everyone carefully for signs of the disease ?

Remember this ban would only be for a few months until the situation could be got under control.


It should be a) initially then re-assess to see if you can move to b), but our political leaders would end up doing it the other way round and hope they can correct their mistake afterwards.



Trump has chosen (b) surely? which is why he's being accused of being discriminatory . Does that mean choosers of (a) think he's wrong?

A very brief input from Farage earlier (ok, so Farage might be a dirty word but he has knowledge) said that it was Obama who had drawn this up , prior to the end of his Presidency.

As much as I'm not particularly approving of Trump for different reasons, this protest has got totally out of hand and it seems like a knee jerk reaction from many, probably due to some little shit in this country, named 'Owen Jones', who is likely to be one of the greatest trouble makers this country has ever known.

http://labourlist.org/2017/01/owen-...s-against-national-shame-of-trump-visit/

Owen Jones, the columnist and Labour supporter, has organised an event in London outside 10 Downing Street, to stand in solidarity with those who are targeted by Trump’s executive order.

Speakers will include shadow business secretary Clive Lewis and the former Labour leader Ed Miliband. Shadow attorney general Shami Chakrabarti will also address the event, which so far has 18,000 attending on the event page.

This picture of seven men deciding what women can and can't do with their reproductive organs sickens me.

Most people do Kittykat...the last time I looked over 7 000 people in Wirral had signed the petition..you can see the constituency break down.

This site does NOT represent Wirral viewpoints atall.

Donald Trump's well documented misogyny and vulgarity disqualifies him from being received by Her Majesty the Queen or the Prince of Wales. Therefore during the term of his presidency Donald Trump should not be invited to the United Kingdom for an official State Visit.
I'm not alone: as of now the petition stands at:

Birkenhead 1995 sigs
Wallasey 1757 sigs.
Wirral South 1394 sigs
Wirral West 1592 sigs
