That is what America is trying to do? Why should there be outrage?
I'm happy to be proven wrong but most the countries on Trumps list haven't broken international law.

Because all these anti-trump voices were silent when Obama and his administration were doing bad things.
Trump happened because of Obama and his actions. It's hard to side with anyone who is crying over Trump now when they venerate a man like Obama just because he made good sound bites and social media clips.
The greatest problem is their hold over allowing other parties outside of the two major parties to have any say or influence on anything.
Even to get a place at a Presidential debate a third party needs to get 15% voting in polls. That makes it almost impossible to allow other voices to be heard on a large stage.
In democracies like the UK and Australia we at least allow for countless different parties and views to be put to the people at election times to judge them by the public.
Until that changes, nothing will change.
When was the last time the US had a decent President? Reagan? It's been a hell of a long time unfortunately.
You need to be a special type of sad brain to sign an online petition, I bet Trump is extremely worried by the power of THE INTERNET!!!!!1111!!
"Bloody good idea that wall, Donald".I recon he'll get on well with Prince Philip.

Define decent.
No.
Horrible man, really quite odious. But, might turn out to be an OK President. Possibly.
Whatever, should not be banned from a State Visit. Better not grope Her Maj. though................
Not really a lover of populist petitions, and I really can't see the point of trying to ban this visit by Trump. State or not.
Let him come over, meet the Queen for afternoon tea and a banquet, address Parliament, discuss with politicians the myriad of topics that our two nations need to discuss, see the protesters( peaceful, I hope!) etc.etc.
Banning him is a little bit like the bans that are occuring in our unis. Don't allow anyone to come and speak unless we agree with what they are going to say.
Let us grow up and get on with it.In general, how do you constructively influence events by banning, visits, meetings and discussions.
Can't stand the bloke from what I've seen so far, but they're never going to block him from coming to the UK, no matter how many sign the petition. Mrs May & friends have too much to lose to cause a diplomatic issue over it.
He'll come, and I bet there will be street protests on a scale not seen since Blair was in charge. Awful man, but I can't be the only one harbouring a certain fascination with how this is all going to pan out over the next four years. Unsettling times.
You're asking why we want to trade with the US, and why we want to work with them on security?Why?
Right. so exactly the sort of things that our country will want to negotiate then.Tariffs between the US and the UK are already low, so it is the dropping of a different kind of barrier that Trump would be after. That could be a softening of the food standards that have kept out hormone-injected US beef. Or granting access to the NHS to overcharging US drug companies. Or a relaxation in environmental or labour rules that, set with our onetime EU partners, proved too onerous for US firms until now.
And your plan is to stop talking to them in the hope we can just keep what we have. Brilliant.When Trump demands all that, May – needing a deal, any deal, to prove that Brexit is not a disaster – will struggle to say no. And what would be gained?
Well what a surprise NOT5000+ have signed it in Brighton Pavilion. 4.66% of constituents - highest in country.

It's not about blocking him from coming to the UK.
What folk are campaigning against is him being afforded a STATE visit with all the red carpets and gushing, nauseous trimmings.
If he wants a government to government visit then fine. We have to have a relationship with the U.S
Well what a surprise NOT
On a more serious note these lefties are just laughable....the biggest bunch of pampered cry baby's you'll ever meet.
Absolutely correct. I don't like what that man might say so therefore I'm not going to let anyone listen to him. Grow up!

Trump bans people from visiting America and you want to respond by banning him from coming here. Grow up and use diplomacy.
