Just remember that the vast majority of Britons did NOT sign that idiotic petition.

Of course they didn't
BUT over 500,000 did and to me that is one large petition! I wonder what is the driving force?
Islam is the second largest religion with results from the United Kingdom Census 2011 giving the UK Muslim population in 2011 as ~2,706,066, ~4.5% of the total population. The vast majority of Muslims in the United Kingdom live in England: 2,660,116 (5.02% of the population).

Dude? Nearly 1% signed that petition! This is news!
So how about this......UK citizens concern yourself with your own politics and issues (and you have just as many troubling issues as any other country) and we will keep our nose out of yours.

And 99% did not

And less than 0.1% signed the petition against the petition, we all had plenty of time to choose.

I have to agree with the irony in this.
Trump talked about banning millions from the US and that is fine, the UK looks at banning one person and he gets all upset about it.
As to involvement in US politics I do not think this the case, banning him from the UK would not affect his ability to be President so I fail to see how it is relavant.
Doesnt affect his free speech either.
We are not saying he cant do his mad rantings, we are not saying we will censor them. Just he cant do it within our borders.

Can you elaborate? You're not saying a decision should be made based on 600.000 out of 60 million signatures right?

He is a real problem. Not joking. He has been on a sort of land grab for his golf courses and made a lot of Scottish lives a misery.

I am saying that there was a counter petition and it only got about 40,000 votes.
Compared to over half a million.
Percentage of population has nothing to do with it. Enough people spoke out that the goverment had to discuss it.

Your thinking is skewed. You have your own agenda as to why he should be banned. This has got nothing to do with his business practises. You have brought your own prejudice here because the ban would suit your personal attitude toward Donald Trump. His business is not being debated. It is his attitude to Islam that is under scrutiny. Do you not understand that? This thread is not about his business practises is it!
So are you willing to see democracy and majority culture sabotaged by Islam because you just don't like Donald and because of his golf courses in Scotland? That is what your post is telling me. What wonderful logic at work in your post.
