Prevent Donald Trump from making a state visit to the United Kingdom - petition

[SeagullRic]

I understood British people were not subject to this policy after Boris got the position clarified. What's your friends status?

He is a dual British-Iraqi citizen born in the uk to two Iraqi parents who moved over 28 years ago (4 year sports before he was born).

He was told today that because he visits family in Baghdad once or twice yearly (and has done so in the last six months) he would be denied entry to the US until this ban is lifted.

To be fair this was before Boris clarified the position so he's now waiting to hear back from the US embassy tomorrow regarding the exact status.

Not sure Denis Rodman, who has frequently visited Kim Jong Un and endorsed the way he runs North Korea can be trusted as a great judge of character!

Is Kim Jong Un racist?

Well he is exempt:

No we don't. We need to keep fighting for what we believe in.

That's democracy.

The tolerant all seem intolerable though.

I think since that the US embassy have clarified that what Boris said is not true though, as Thunder Bolt said?

Regardless he's waiting to have it confirmed tomorrow by the embassy directly.

The US embassy in London on Monday notified dual nationals holding citizenship from both Britain and one of seven Muslim-majority countries they could not apply for US travel visas — guidance that came just hours after the UK Foreign Office claimed they were exempt from the ban.

The seesawing in London is the latest in a series of contradictory signals coming from Washington over the measure that has sowed international confusion and sparked protests at airports across the US. It comes 24 hours after the Mr Trump was forced to reverse course over the status of US permanent residents from the seven countries, who were originally covered by the ban.

Is Kim Jong Un racist?[/QUOTE

No idea, and not sure why that's relevant to my point-do you think Rodman is a good judge of character, given his ringing endorsement of Kim Jong Un and North Korea?

Well, of course he would have to make sure, but even the Embassy has confirmed Boris's statement that he made in Parliament. https://uk.usembassy.gov/updated-gu...g-nation-terrorist-attacks-foreign-nationals/

Whoever told him that because he visited Baghdad he was barred is a fool!

Do you think Rodman would entertain a racist?

Really? Let's see how many brown-skinned and bearded British passport holders get caught up in this.

 

[portslade seagull]

You sound a bit too sensible to on this board. Unfortunately, the reality is Trump way of doing things will be popular with an insular and neurotic America. Many are loving what he is up to right now.

Climate change is the real worry though

The gun lobby as well.

Anyway if you doubt Rodmans credibility, on the show it includes Latoya Jackson and many shades of colour.

Maybe, but the current fact remains British passport holders are exempt from the current executive order, but like us all, they still can be questioned by immigration as has always been the case for white or brown skinned people.

I like The Donald.

Tolerant liberal?

I am intolerant of intolerance.

This Australian only had a visa for Iran in his Australian passport. He was held for 14 hours and then sent home.

How is that relevant to a British passport holder? As per my post above, we can still be questioned and denied entry under the normal immigration rules. White, Brown, Christian, or Muslim. But that has always been the case.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Trump has gone against his own Federal court judgement. He is acting like a dictator.

I don't like him, and if he is breaking the law I would be pleased to see him impeached.

But has he, though? If he has why has he not had his collar felt?

I don't know the answer which is why I'm asking.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what your point Is. Are you suggesting that because 2 black people were on the celebrity apprentice and Trump refrained from being racist to them he could not possibly be racist to others, either in his views or policies?
