As the world slowly wakes up to how dangerous the musings of Donald Trump’s prejudice remarks have become, more and more people in leadership positions are taking a stand against him.
London’s Mayor, the wacky Boris Johnson, has become the first senior British politician to declare that Trump’s bigotry towards Muslims make him ‘unfit’ to serve as the next POTUS.
On camera Boris declared that Trump’s “stupefying ignorance” proved he was “clearly out of his mind”.
This was after Trump claimed that there were “no go areas” in London where police feared for their lives because of a threat posed by Muslims.
I think Donald Trump is clearly out of his mind if he thinks that’s a sensible way to proceed, to ban people going to the United States in that way, or to any country.
What he’s doing is playing the game of the terrorists and those who seek to divide us. That’s exactly the kind of reaction they hope to produce.
When Donald Trump says there are parts of London that are ‘no go’ areas, I think he’s betraying a quite stupefying ignorance that makes him frankly unfit to hold the office of President of the United States.
I would invite him to come and see the whole of London and take him round the city – except I wouldn’t want to expose any Londoners to any unnecessary risk of meeting Donald Trump.
There is currently an online petition demanding that Trump be barred from visiting the UK on the grounds of “hate speech” and has reached more than 100 000 signatures which guarantees a debate in the Houses of Parliament.
Yet, in September, the UK barred Tyler, the Creator from entering the country as he “posed a threat to public order” based on lyrics to his songs. Ummm. Other people banned from the UK include L. Ron Hubbard, Martha Stewart, the Mugabes and Mike Tyson.
