One Of Our Closest Allies Is About To Ban Trump From Their Country Over Hate Speech Violations

British Parliament could soon have to deal with the reality of a petition by the people to ban Donald Trump from entering the U.K, over violating of the nation’s hate speech laws.

The story broke on the Independent that a petition started by Suzanne Kelly, from Scotland, is currently in the works, and must gather up 100,000 signatures. Once it meets the threshold it will be taken up for debate at the House of Commons.

Kelly had previous issues with Trump, regarding an effort to block a golf course at Scotland’s Menie estate, over environmental issues.

Republicans have a current frontrunner for their presidential nominee, that is so bad one of our closest and oldest allies is looking to ban him from ever entering their realm.

Trump is the best and most popular guy the Republicans can scrounge up. Let’s let that sink in while we all envision a Democratic win in 2016, shall we?

The petition against Trump reads, in part:

The signatories believe Donald J Trump should be banned from UK entry for his continued, unrepentant hate speech and unacceptable behaviour. His unacceptable behaviour is well documented, and we feel it foments racial, religious and nationalistic intolerance which should not be welcome in the UK.

The UK has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech. This same principle should apply to Donald J Trump. We cannot see how the United Kingdom can condone his entry to the country when many people have been barred for less.

But wait, this gets even better. Some Politicians such as Scottish National Party defense head, Brendan O’Hara, are attempting to have Trump’s access to nuclear weapons curtailed ahead of time, if he wins the Republican nomination for the 2016 election.

O’Hara thinks that if worse came to worse, the order to start a nuclear war would ultimately come from an American president. As such he sees Trump as too unstable to be trusted with the launching of nuclear weapons from assets housed in the U.K.

    Good, I hope he does get banned.

  • Otto Greif

    Leftists hate free speech.

    • Karblaze

      No, just bloviated disgusting bigots spewing hate every time they open their vile, filthy, mouths.

      • Otto Greif

        If you’re in favor of censorship then you hate free speech. Free speech means sometimes hearing opinions we don’t agree with.

        • Stewart Walton

          But it dosent mean you have to give the idiot nukes

          • Otto Greif

            What?

          • Louise157

            Read the article.

          • Brink Kelly

            Otto? Read? Surely you jest!

        • CT14

          Free speech means freedom from government censorship. It doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

          No one, not even the UK, is forbidding Trump to say anything. They are just saying that there are consequences for being a bigoted, hateful man.

          • Otto Greif

            If a government is imposing consequences then there isn’t free speech.

        • Brink Kelly

          The fact that he would attempt to legislate his ignorant opinions into law go beyond free speech. Any knowledgeable adult knows that there are possible consequences in the exercise of your free speech rights.

          • Otto Greif

            If you are in favor of governments imposing consequences for speech then you oppose free speech.

          • insanedieg0

            Every one of our constitutional rights has limits. I can’t go into the theater and yell fire, can I? It’s a common sense limit placed on a right. Same thing with hate speech.

          • Louise157

            Republicans have lost their common sense. Or is it the teabaggers?

          • Otto Greif

            It’s not remotely the same. Thanks for proving my point that leftists hate free speech.

        • Samantha Jane Rose

          So tell me, should someone be able to defame someone ? to tell lies about someone, make misleading statements about someone ? there is no such thing as ‘free’ speech. It, like every other right has limits and regulations, not to mention responsibilities on the part of the person exercising that right.

    • Michael Aronson

      “Left and right” have different nuances in other countries, but if it helps simplify things for you, most of the rest of the civilized world is liberal in American terms.

  • bikerbernie

    Banned over “hate speech violations”

    Screw them limey Brit bastards if they do… They can ban me too then … You see in America we still have a First Amendment… No matter what you think of what he said, he has the right to say it.

    If it passes I say we ban from America those who petitioned and voted for it to pass for violating his First Amendment right…

    We played Colonials vs the Empire before… Let’s go again…

    • CT14

      No one is saying he can’t say what he will.

      They are simply saying free speech has consequences. And if your speech is full of hate and bigotry, you can keep it on your side of the pond.

      Not to mention that the First Amendment is the First Amendment to the Constitution, the body of law that governs the United States. The Constitution doesn’t do anything to a foreign power.

    • Aelfy

      Think before you speak has always been an excellent idea

    • Otto Greif

      The UK doesn’t have free speech, over there you can arrested for politically incorrect tweets and facebook posts.

      • Louise157

        Well, that sounds good to me. Get rid of the riffraff.

    • Brink Kelly

      You don’t have American rights in another country. Not a one.

      • Louise157

        Outside of the USA is looking pretty interesting especially if Trump becomes our next president.

    • Suzanne Williams

      Um, excuse me, bikerbernie, but how exactly does the U.S.’s 1st amendment to the Constitution apply to foreign citizens, in actions they take within their own borders? They aren’t violating his 1st amendment right, they can’t, because they don’t LIVE HERE. Are they perhaps turning the situation into an international incident? Perhaps, but maybe it should be. We Americans are so ARROGANT, it’s gotta be OUR WAY or THE HIGHWAY - AND SCREW THE REST OF THE WORLD, right? As far as Mr. Trump goes, well when you are a lightning rod, sometimes you’re going to get hit.

    • Anne Mutchler

      Trump doesn’t have the right to yell ‘fire!’ in a crowded theater or the right to utter treasonous words or slander someone with lies or call upon others to perpetrate violence, etc. There are numerous restrictions on ‘free’ speech.

  • 24/7Itopu

    Thank god the Brits basically disqualified him for POTUS.

    And Trump will threaten to sue the entire country in 3 … 2…1

  • Jeanette Lamb

    :) I wonder if we can do the same here in Australia.
    We stopped the Westboro Baptist crew from entering the country, he is just as vile as them. :)
    He can practice his “free speech” in his own country.

  • luckydoodle77

    He is a degradation to the US…big, nasty mouth that spews nothing but ignorance, hate, intolerance. and bs. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, never, wanted or needed anything, his daddy made him who he is today,..he didn’t start his empire..his daddy did…hes a snot nosed brat who is making a lot of enemies feeding his over inflated ego, with this ridiculous antic of running for the POTUS!

    Bernie Sanders 2016!

    • I Luv Dogs

      I agree, except I’m voting for Hillary. Bernie has no chance of winning the WH.

      • Michael Aronson

        What if he ends up being the nominee? You still won’t vote for him?

        • I Luv Dogs

          Of course, I’d vote for Bernie. Just don’t think he has a chance of getting the Dem nod.

  • Alfred Garcia

    Why can’t someone just kill him already. Then we wouldn’t have the need for this argument. Or the next stupid thing he comes out with.

    • Michael Aronson

      Because people who oppose Trump are supposed to be the civilized ones. No psychotic violent rhetoric, please.

      • Alfred Garcia

        Psychotic? Fight violent behaviour with same.

        • Michael Aronson

          Except Trump hasn’t called for murdering people he disagrees with, so you actually want to be worse than the very person you hate. Smart.

          • Alfred Garcia

            Did you not hear he wants all the family members of the gunman and woman of the San Bernardino shooting killed.

          • Michael Aronson

            And yet you want to murder someone just for saying things you don’t like. Sounds like the Charlie Hebdo murderers.

          • April

            Wasn’t there an interview on Fox where The Donald said something along the lines of, ‘after finishing off the terrorists we should turn to their women and children and take them out to avoid future terrorism’? I’m not a violent person but Donald Trump and his moronic supporters can drop dead for all I care. Maybe then America wouldn’t be something literally everyone else in the world just sits back and laughs at.

          • Michael Aronson

            I am not defending a single vile thing he has said.

            The whole point is that we, as the intellectual and civilized, must set an example of appropriate discourse.

    • Otto Greif

      How would you do that? By hitting him with your purse? By running over him with your lowrider car? By hitting him in the head with a burrito?

      • Alfred Garcia

        To bad I can’t reply. I’ve been censored.

        • Michael Aronson

          I don’t think you know what that word means.

  • Kathleen Stehle Gersch

    wonderful!

    trump with nukes how scary is that

    Where can I sign that petition.
