In 24hrs, over 1.3M have signed petition to UK parliament to stop Drump visit to UK

Petition says Trump should not be invited to avoid embarrassing the Queen
More than 1.3M people have signed a petition demanding Donald Trump's state visit to the UK be cancelled in the wake of his Muslim travel ban.

The enormous response easily passed the 100,000 target needed for MPs to consider holding a debate on the motion in the House of Commons this morning, with more and more people flocking to sign it.It is currently rising at an average of more than 1,000 signatures per minute and is already the third most popular petition in Parliament's history

'Donald Trump's well documented misogyny and vulgarity disqualifies him from being received by Her Majesty the Queen or the Prince of Wales. 'Therefore during the term of his presidency Donald Trump should not be invited to the United Kingdom for an official State Visit.
Any petition that receives more than 100,000 signatures within six months must be considered for debate by MPs in Parliament.

Petitions that attracts more than 10,000 in the time period requires a response from the Government. Today's petition eclipsed the target within a few hours and by 3pm it had surpassed 280,000 signatures.

It will now be up to the Commons Petition's Committee to decide whether a parliamentary debate on the matter would be appropriate, but its popularity is likely to lead to a debate in the Commons, which could be highly embarrassing for the US President

1. NO! have him come and turn out a couple of million to 'welcome him'

7. as an ex-pat I signed it

The petition would allow for a visit but would not allow for an official State Visit. He'd have to stay in a hotel and he wouldn't be welcomed at the Palace or at Parliament.

Plenty of opportunity for the public to voice and display their displeasure elsewhere...
