UK Lawmakers Debate Banning 'Racist' 'Buffoon' Donald Trump
"Donald Trump is a fool. He is free to be a fool; he is not free to be a dangerous fool on our shores," said the Labour Party's Jack Dromey

Perhaps it would be interesting to have a chat about why in America there are more people killed by shotguns every day than are killed every year in this country," Flynn said. "

During the debate, Trump was at turns called a "racist," "bigot," "sexist," "fool," "buffoon" and "wazzock."

A top-ranking British lawmaker vowed on Monday to block President Donald Trump from speaking before the U.K. Parliament in the historic Westminster Hall, citing that body’s opposition to racism and sexism and its support for equality and an independent judiciary.

In a blistering statement before the House of Commons, Speaker John Bercow said he was “strongly opposed” to Trump addressing Parliament during an upcoming state visit to the U.K.

“I would not wish to issue an invitation to President Trump to speak,” Bercow said. While British lawmakers value their country’s relationship with the United States, he said, “I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons.”

He would not have backed inviting Trump to address Parliament anyway, Bercow said, but the president’s recent imposition of an anti-Muslim ban made him “even more strongly opposed” to the idea.

“An address by a foreign leader to both houses of Parliament is not an automatic right. It is an earned honor,” Bercow said.

The speech was met with applause from other members of Parliament.

Prime Minister Theresa May invited Trump to visit her country during a trip to the White House last week. The details of the visit have reportedly not yet been worked out:

But the invitation itself sparked protests in cities across the U.K. by those opposed to Trump and his immigration ban. A petition to withdraw the invitation, posted on the U.K. government’s official petitions site, has garnered more than 1.8 million signatures. At one point, it was receiving more than a thousand signatures per minute, according to The Guardian.

As HuffPost UK explained, Bercow is one of just three people who has the final decision on whether guests will be granted the honor of speaking in Westminster Hall. Bercow, along with the speaker of the House of Lords and the great lord chamberlain, are the three “keyholders” who have the power to approve such addresses to members of Parliament and peers.

'Leader of the free world?' Obviously not.

THE most hated man on the planet. :0)

John Bercow is an arsehole with a truly embarrassing excuse for a wife. He used to be incredibly right wing until he sucked up to New Labour and they made him speaker mainly to piss off the Tories.

If I've mischaracterized you, I apologize .. but you sure spend a lot of time defending him .. just as you are now.

How many posts have you made denouncing the falsehoods and fantasies of Trump and his supporters? I've seemed to have missed them.

I don't really care what you think about Barlow .. I don't spend time involving myself in the internal politics of your country as you do here.

All that matters to me is that he stands against Trump .. and you talking about his wife is hilarious. :0)

Pointing out that you are wrong is not a defense of Trump.

Sorry to have bruised your fragile ego.

Hey Midas Whale, is this one of those posts that I made just to be liked?

:rofl2:

I am sorry, but the Daily Mail is a rag of unprecedented bad "journalism". I have never seen a publication so wrong about so many things and whoever edits that garbage should be fired posthaste.

Of course US Editor at large, Piers Morgan, doesn't do it one bit of good either!

Well, let's not get carried away with ourselves....163 of 650 members of Parliament voted against having the President speak, certainly no majority...So, sounding much like intolerant liberals on our university campuses, instead of promoting free speech and letting him speak, they shut him down....There is trade pressure that the President could levy, but I don't think he cares to speak to them as much as they think....

Perfectly understandable.....there is no free speech in the UK.....they fear free speech.

If they want to sever ties with the US over who we elected president, do be it....go for it.

You referenced the intolerant liberals on uni campuses... how about the intolerant so-called president who threatened to pull federal funding of Berkeley if those mean old kids don't shut their pie holes?

Any college that will not allow a person his or her first amendment rights should not get federal tax dollars......

If they were expelling female students exercising their right to get an abortion you'd be foaming at the mouth.....

Yeah, it's clear my criticism just rolled off your back, ducky. Didn't bother you a bit you say?

Okay then.

Go CHECK yourself you delusional fool.

I don't care about his motives, don't care about his past.

ALL I care about is that he's obviously an influential british politician who stands against Trump.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
