Parliament Debates Banning the Trump from the UK

CNN reports that later today the UK parliament will debate whether to bar Donald Trump from the country because of his call to ban the admission of all Muslims to the United States. A petition to bar Trump from the UK because of his “hate speech” garnered more than 500,00 signatures.

UPDATE (Jan. 19):  Parliament held the debate on January 18.  According to press accounts, many members condemned Trump’s statements and positions but Parliament was divided whether to ban him from the country.  According to the BBC, Conservative Home Secretary Theresa May has banned more than 200 people since 2010. One of them is U.S. blogger Pamela Geller who was banned in 2013 as a result of her anti-Muslim remarks and propaganda.
