470,000 pro Trumpers wanting to ban Moslem entry to this country until the defeat of ISIL.
Does the Daily mail have a readership of 470000?
Just asking
Re 31
For France, this is an overdue political step in the ‘right’ direction. The hard Left have had their boot on the neck of a France beset by the sclerotic and archaic working practices of a system of Govt. dominated by statist control.
I’ll be sending Madame Marine a contribution towards her political funding.
Well, knock me down with a feather…….
I think in fact you will find it was the French Left who pulled out of some areas to allow the centrist/right to beat the rabid right wing FN

To re-enforce Trek’s earlier point the outcry against Trump has been from a small unrepresentative minority.
Marine Le Pen, together with her niece, represents a very large minority of the French and a larger minority than the other parties. She talks a lot of sense about a number of subjects the French care about. The FN should not be underestimated.
It would appear The FN should not be overestimated either, although as one critic said it was not a ‘victory’ as they have done so well in the first round and have tripled the number of councillors.
Well done to the French Voters who it seems have stepped back from allowing the FN to run regional governments, for now at least

Re #22
I am not prejudiced against any religion, or perhaps more accurately I don’t support any religion of any description
The fbi server is not available so I can’t see your point.
Perhaps I should have clarified, in the US over 84% of homicides of white people are by white people and over 93% of black people are killed by black people.
Muslims are currently less than 1% of the US population on the official statistics, although some say it may be as high as 2.5% by 2050

On the contrary, I would suggest that the majority of the UK population was disgusted by his repugnant comments. At the last count I believe there were 490,000 who have supported the petition and 25,000 who have supported a contrary one. On that simple sample,18: 1 against
There may have been a majority of Daily Mail readers who agreed with him, oh and a majority of UKIP voters of course (source: yougov)
But Mail readers and UKIP supporters are not a majority of the UK population ( thank whatever God you believe in)

You are much, much more likely to be killed in either the US or the UK by a white ‘christian’ than a muslim or a hindu or a buddhist if for no other reason than they form such a small percentage of the population of either country
RpR, the liberal candidate by definition was more intelligent than Palin.

Sarah Palin…? 🙂
Former Governor of Alaska and one time Vice President nominee? Hardly a world power.
She has opinions, but is harmless (as opposed to some of the idiots out there with power).
nor is Trump a world power (thankfully) I was not suggesting that he was. iI was just saying I think he is a right wing idiot in the same way as Palin, and hopefully in the long run will be about as successful as she was.
Marine Le Pen is certainly more dangerous at the moment as she actually has people voting for her and her party

Anyone else find any irony in the fact that the UK will welcome all sorts of leaders and diplomats from regimes who routinely violate human rights (as well as murder, genocide, etc.)…but get their knickers in a twist over a guy who just suggests something?
You need to seperate the UK government and elements of UK population.
The Government have not said he can’t visit, Call Me Dave has said he disagrees with the comments as he has expresed disagreement with leaders from the regimes you have suggested in the past, such as Russia, China, Zimbabwe etc. although not as vocally as other regimes with worse records such as Saudi Arabia unfortunately
Many of the citizens of the UK have for years decried the Governments stance on such regimes for so called ‘diplomatic gain’ and thus the petition is just a continuation of such expressions.
Trump is certainly is no worse than Sarah Palin, or Marine Le Pen to name but two in my estimation
