Over a million have now signed a petition to #banTrumpFromUK

 

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/171928

I've donated to the ACLU and The International Rescue charities, to try and do something to help the current crisis in America, if anyone is interested.

And then approved 67.9bn wind turbines along the shore of the course over his strenuous objections. Next!

 

#SNPBad

 

That doesn't change the fact the the SNP WERE once in the man's pockets and are therefore not to be trusted IMO.

Donald Trump is an amazing man. He has broken the mould of the politically correct politician and listened to what the people want. He walks the talk and is making the World a safer place. I agree with virtually everything he has done so far. In fact he has done more for his Country in one week than Obama did in eight years. If only we had someone like him here in the UK but I'm afraid the damage has already been done by successive laissez-faire Governments. Our only hope here is with a UKIP Government headed by Nigel Farage (the English Trump). I am one of the silent majority who do not go out and demonstrate but prefer the Ballot Box to speak for me. I wish Trump well and will be watching his State Visit on TV.

Done more to damage the country in one week, and democracy and decency. Trump and Farage are Nazi-worshipping racist, spoilt, stupid rich-men's sons. Anyone who fails to see that is of the same ilk, and like all anti-democratic movements will go down in flames.

 

Democracy is about everyone being equal and having a say. Fascism is about issuing orders to everyone by one man. Trump is bypassing his country's democratic government, and May is attempting to do the same.

 

Farage is irrelevant. He's a nobody.

 

have a good day, sweetie.

The silent majority? Leaving aside that millions of us would love Farage to go silent for a while (preferably for the rest of his life), UKIP didn't come remotely close to getting a majority of the votes at the last election, so there are clearly a lot of people who don't think that the party represents their views.

Welcome to the News & Politics forum! It's always nice to see new people venturing into these regions.

we need more middle-aged white heterosexual men on the forum and especially their backwards opinions indeed

I'm wondering if that's an Ethan alias

Brian comes into the chart forum checking for Elvis album updates a lot.

 

Let's face it I don't agree with any things he's just stated but he's as entitled to his opinion as much as anyone else in here.

Absolutely.

 

Credit where it's due, I disagree with everything that man stands for. However, the Alt Righters on my Facebook do admittedly have a point when it comes to one main thing:

 

1. That nobody criticised Obama for the actions of US towards Yemen/ arms sales, which is true. However, it's just more of the 'what about...'-ism that they use to support such a flawed candidate.

It's not cool to try to make a point by singling out someone's skin colour and someone's sexuality. Like I said before, liberal lefties are the intolerant ones now.

I don't get how it's wrong if liberals single out one person when all the racists/bigots/etc have been doing excatly that to entire marginalized populations?

Well said. If he'd done nothing and there was a big terrorist attack on his watch then everyone would be criticising him. At least he cares about his country and is keeping his election promises and I too look forward to his visit to the UK.

Yes I am sure there are some white middle aged heterosexual males on this forum or who want to join the forum who don't support Trump too and we should not discourage any group from joining.

 

I have been thinking about the flights issue,

 

On the one hand I can understand why Trump has banned flights from the countries of Somalia, Libya, Syria, Iraq and Yemen, there are major wars going on here and these countries have terrorist groups operating in them like ISIS and Al Shabaab. Unfortunately there is always a chance that some of these groups (followed by only a tiny minority in these countries I may add) are going to try and get members into the US to carry out attacks at a later stage. However there are many innocent people from these countries going to be caught up in this trying to get to and from the US, and cutting off flights will just increase the amount of anti-US feeling in these countries, which plays into the hands of the terrorists anyway and would increase their recruitment.

 

I have absolutely no idea why flights from Iran in particular have been banned, as Iran is not a terrorist hotspot at all. This would suggest no other reason than anti-Iranian/anti Islamic discrimination, which is completely wrong.

 

Also the amount of people killed by non-Islamist extremist attacks in the US is much much higher than those carried out by Islamist extremists there.

 

Gun crime particularly, sorting that out should come first over Islamist extremists, but once again it shows that Trump is more interested in blaming foreigners than sorting domestic gun crime. Where is Trump's measure he pledged to increase access to guns designed to arm innocent people against gun attack threats? Oh no the priority seems to have been had to deal with the more minor foreign terrorist threat first to fit into the rhetoric of blaming foreigners.

 

Overall I think the ban on flights is counter-productive. The emphasis should be on high security rather than banning.

 

In terms of refugees, vulnerable groups of refugees should definitely be accepted into the US. They should play their part in accepting refugees, just like other Western nations have. High security measures should be used though.

The world is categorically not a safer place under Trump, there is record disapproval and chaos in his mere week and a half in office. He is creating a narrative, as do many dangerous populist leaders, whereby his supporters become mistrusting and hostile towards 'the liberal elite' which has turned out to be code for anyone educated who disagrees with him. He is literally stopping people from coming into America based on their religion and country of origin.

 

When it's disturbingly not unrealistic to be making parallels with the early reigns of 20th-century dictators with him, I think anyone who gets prissy that the privileged group who overlap largely with the people who somehow support this man are being mocked can firstly go shove it, secondly are not looking for debate and just want to find some way they can try to get on a high horse by saying 'look at these liberals who claim to preach about intolerance but aren't being kind towards my group, a group who are mostly hellbent on tearing down their ideology'. Jesus f***ing wept at this last page.

I'm wondering if that's an Ethan alias

 

I actually thought the same thing Cody. Just the aura of that post made it seem like Ethan was back. :lol:

We will have to wait and see if he delivers on a policy of non-interventionalism (though I am skeptical), as that could only be a good thing.

Well said. If he'd done nothing and there was a big terrorist attack on his watch then everyone would be criticising him. At least he cares about his country and is keeping his election promises and I too look forward to his visit to the UK.

 

But surely the anti-Islamic rhetoric by Trump during campaigning, talk of 'banning all Muslims from the US', and the banning of flights now has made the US MORE vulnerable to an attack as the terrorist groups will be able to recruit more members now the small minority of anti US sentiment amongst Muslims will grow into a more significant minority.
