QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jan 30 2017, 10:15 PM) So.... Would the 18% vote for it in the privacy of a polling booth? I think it would be close. I personally don't agree with Trumps ban but I do hate all the PC rhetoric. The more snowflakes the more I'd lean towards voting for a ban just to p1ss them off. 😄 Whatever anyone thinks of the ban, it's certainly legal under section 212 of the INA, morally? Big question, depends on which side of the 'homeland security' argument you happen to favour.

QUOTE (newres @ Jan 31 2017, 06:28 AM) All would be good except no US citizen has been killed on US soil by citizens of the banned countries. Yet Saudis and UAE citizens have killed thousands and aren't banned. The US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan yet neither had attacked the US. It's all bollocks. Agreed.

Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

We are possibly ignoring foiled plots from those places.

But leaving that aside, many people that voted Brexit are appalled by Trump. It does seem to be just the really right wing people that support him here. I actually think he'll set back the right wing in Europe with his awful policies.

The basic, over riding tenet for me is that of 'Free speech' this is a country that spends vast amounts of money providing police guards for extremist Muslim preachers to spout their hate and bile on street corners with little or no reaction from the public at large and yet we are prepared to devote endless column inches to the cause of not allowing the leader of the free world to come speak in England. Really?? On a side note I saw a placard being waved in the USA that said something like "Down with Trump, I think he's a horrible man" Lots of horrible men out there sir, better get used to it.

Didn't someone say once say something like, the only thing necessary for the triumph of horrible men is for good men to do nothing?

So people with poor grammar should keep quiet? Really?
