Quote:The reason for the ban petition was in relation to the property he owns in Scotland. As it turns out, the petition wasn't even created because of his "harsh" words. Why? Because certain locals feel that his business is imposing on them.

You didn't know that, did you? You bought into the media narrative that he was only being banned because he said mean things, right? You didn't know he had been working with Scottish officials, politicians, business owners, and others for years before the ban was created? Don't buy into the media narrative.

 

Trump works with foreign entities like above all over the world. Ben Carson doesn't. Now you know

 

LOL. 

 

I don't live with my head in the sand, dude. I know all about his Scottish dealings.  It's why so many there already hated the guy. And I didn't "buy into"anything. Ease up on the condescension there bud. 

 

And it was a petition (started in Scotland) that brought about the debate in Parliament. 

 

Quote:<b>1:30 a.m.:</b> The debate begins with Flynn reading two petitions — one calling for Trump to be banned, and the other saying Britain should “mind our own business.” The petition favoring a ban attracted more than 570,000 signatures. The one opposing a ban received about 40,000. The debate is being held outside the main chamber of the House of Commons, with members gathered in a semi-circle. Several dozen members appear to be present.
 

 

Minutes of the meeting from the Washington Post. 

 

Also from the Post:

 

Quote:The debate, which was triggered by an online petition that described Trump’s comments about Muslims as “hate speech,” did not produce any binding decisions. Authority to ban someone from the country rests with the home secretary, not with Parliament. But the exchange gave British lawmakers an unusual chance to weigh in directly on U.S. politics.
 

 

I don't care who started the petition - the fact that it was debated for three straight hours in Parliament should tell you how welcome he is there. 

I didn't buy into a narrative.  Only facts. 

 

Now you know.
