LONDON — Amid a debate in Britain over whether President Trump's invitation to visit the country should be rescinded over his inflammatory tweets, officials in the London borough of Greenwich took pre-emptive action: If the visit goes ahead, the president will not be welcome there.

This "is a peaceful and welcoming place that celebrates difference and diversity, but in the case of President Trump we are willing to make an exception," said Denise Hyland, Greenwich's top local government official, after councilors adopted a motion Thursday recommending Trump not be allowed to visit the historic neighborhood.

Greenwich is home to the Prime Meridian, a conceptual line that divides the Earth into eastern and western hemispheres, as well as Cutty Sark, the legendary British last real tea clipper ship. The area's rich maritime history, historical buildings and riverside location draw hordes of locals and tourists alike. A councillor motion has no ultimate legal weight, but it is a declaration of wishes, akin to a resolution.

Greenwich councilors expressed, according to the motion, "alarm at the decision of President Trump to retweet Islamophobic Propaganda" and "sadness at the President's bigoted attitude towards women and ethnic minorities."

3. The entire country should ban him. n/t

And we should banish him to outer space.

5. What makes you think outer space would want him?

The only thing they have in common is a vacuum. Trump's is in his head, and space's is......well...everywhere...

8. LOL

Nobody wants him. Maybe banish him to Hell? But even Satan wouldn't want him, I'm guessing.

6. Good

7. GO BRITS!

We don't want him either, but I can't think of a place evil enough to inflict him on it.

9. Been there the vibe is much different than the London tourist center

Kudos to Greenwich, that said Twitler will paralyze London if he visits because the protests will bring the city to a standstill.
