What Trump said about parts of London being so radicalized that police won't go there has been verified by serving officers, despite Scotland Yard's denials.
"Donald Trump is RIGHT about parts of London being so radicalised they are no-go areas for police, say serving officers"
"Donald Trump claims Met police are terrified in radical areas of the capital
Scotland Yard hit back in rare statement: 'Trump could not be more wrong'
But two serving officers said there are some some safety fears in London
One policeman said: 'Trump's not wrong. He pointed out something that is plainly obvious'
Another said: 'Islamification has and is occurring. You have to have extra vigilance in certain parts when you are working'"

But i don't want a c**t like that in my country. Because that's what he is. While he hasn't advocated violence (yet!) his rhetoric is nearly as bad as the Islamic hate preachers we have here already; essentially an 'us-and-them' mentality.
We don't need that here. We have enough people who live to segregate society into lumps of 'us' and 'them'. We don't need a moron like him here.

What an absolutely disgusting reaction this is by some of my fellow Brits. Donald Trump is an absolute idiot - of this there is no doubt (and something i have consistnetly said for years). However, whilst his views may be morally repugnant, he is certainly entitled to them. He may well be calling for measures against all Muslims but he isn't asking for violence towards Muslims. The hate preachers that we have kicked out, on the other hand, have been spouting racial hatred in order to induce violence.
We have a long standing tradition of free speech in this country. You do not defeat repugnant views by shutting them down - you defeat them by tackling the issues head on. In Trumps case, this means showing him why he is wrong.
Seriously though, when did we become such a limp wristed, weak nation that we have to ban anything that we disagree with? It is pathetic, toddler like behaviour.
And whilst i am on rant mode, i would also like to know when it became okay to publicly (via the media) get invloved in the ongoing elections of another nation, particularly a strong ally? Can you imagine the outcry if US Politicians were openly criticising British MP's before an election? We would be up in arms in this country, and rightly so. And we can't just blame Cameron for this one, all sides have been at it. It shows a complete lack of class, character, morals and respect - which i suppose is par for the course with Westminster.

Hypocritical much
We can allow Islamic hate preachers to carry on preaching hate (as we don't seem to have the ability to stop them!)
But we are attempting to ban one of our *allies* because we dislike his policy!
LOL!! FREEDOM OF SPEECH ..... just went out the window/door

Who is saying ban everything? If you read the thread and title it's about Trumps proposed policy, and the fact that thousands in the UK would want to see him restricted from visiting based upon it, not his right to speak his mind.
The point is that that he would be banned based on his opinions and political positions. As much as I find him deplorable, he isn't inciting people to violence, or asking that anyone blow themselves up in the name of Christ or anything. What's wrong with him visiting and speaking to an audience if they will have him?
With your avatar? Childish on my part I must admit. I completely support your right to that.
I still have no idea what you are referring to with regard to it.
Lol this is hilarious! Trump could get banned from the UK for his messages of hate. Good job UK I hope this is successful. It just goes to show that the rest of the world is watching and they don't approve either.

You don't think calling for about a quarter of the worlds population to be blanket banned from entering the US counts as extremism?
As a US citizen he has protected free speech in his own country. If he was a UK citizen would defend his right to free speech here. This however does not mean we have to grant entry to him to the UK.
As I said above however there is no chance he will actually be banned form entry.
