British Parliament Votes NO To A Trump State Visit

[Dalia]

As I understand it this merely downgrades the visit and the Queen will not meet with Donald Trump as a result. Still a complete surprise from our oldest ally.

LONDON — "Thousands of protesters against U.S. President Donald Trump rallied outside Britain’s Parliament on Monday, while lawmakers inside urged the government to rescind its offer to the president of a state visit stamped with pomp, pageantry and royal approval.

In a passionate debate that’s unlikely to change the British government’s position, Trump was labeled a misogynist, a bigot and a “petulant child” by opposition legislators. They argued that a state visit planned for later this year will demean the U.K. and Queen Elizabeth II, the president’s official host.

Conservative lawmakers, however, said revoking the invitation would do far more harm. Tory lawmaker Edward Leigh said canceling the state visit would be “catastrophic” to the trans-Atlantic relationship.


“He is the duly elected president of the United States. ... It would be a disaster if this invitation is rescinded,” Leigh said.

Monday’s debate was called after more than 1.8 million people signed an online petition calling for the state visit to be downgraded........................ " Amid protests, UK lawmakers debate downgrading Trump visit

It's means NOTHING, President Trump will still get a State Visit from the British

Summary

• Sir Alan Duncan, the deputy foreign secretary, has reaffirmed the government’s intention to host President Trump on a state visit at the end of a three-hour debate that saw MPs denounce him as unworthy of the honour.

• But, wrapping up for government, Duncan said that state visits were the government’s “most important diplomatic tool” and he made it clear that the government expected the invitation to boost Britain’s diplomatic interests. He told MPs:

"A state visit is a uniquely British construct. No other country is able to offer a state visit in quite the same way as we do. It is distinctively British. And over the course of her reign Her Majesty has hosted over 100 of them. All such visits are a rare and prestigious occasion. But they are also our most important diplomatic tool. They enable us to strengthen and influence those international relationships that are of the greatest strategic importance to this country.

The debate ended without MPs voting on whether the visit should go ahead and the debate will have no impact on the government’s plans."

Ha Ha suck it Leftist Maniac Street Shitters

"and the debate will have no impact on the government’s plans."

With 1,800,000 Brits extending their preference of 'no' by petition, you can bet that the protests will be memorable.

They should protest against the muslims terrorists.

Some funny. Work your Brexit without trade with the US.

By the way. Optics brought to you by Tony Blair, Soros and the fact that the ME owns London.

Wah, wah, wah. You keep talk about how Trump is "winning". Well Trump may be "winning", but the US is losing. Bigley

Just round them all up and airdrop half of them into The Congo and airdrop the other half of them into Saudi Arabia.

Sorry, I didn't realize I was having a conversation with Mao Zedong.

The sour grapes Trump haters are thick in this thread. The British will suck up to America just as they have done since WWII just relax.

Seems more like Idi Amin.

Apparently British Parliament didn't vote "no" after all but it sounds so good that the left can't resist the fake news headline. It should be noted that the #1 name for newborn male children in London today isn't "John" or George or Paul or even Ringo, it's Mohammed. The mayor of London, Sadiq Kahn is a Muslem and the population of London is around 8.5 million people. Do the math.

I'm just north of Emerson. Trump will be winning big time in a couple of days because I know who is coming across the border north.

Already Justin is going to have to answer to DHS letting busloads of Somalis who have been on welfare in Minneapolis cross to try to claim refugee status out here.

By tomorrow I will have at all of DHS and the Border Patrols as where the Somalis are coming across.

This sadly will result in no Canuck going south without a visa. FINE BY FUCKING ME. I'm dual.

But you bitch and others like you you will pay the price for such stupidity.

They did.

It was called "Brexit".

Juan de Fuca,Jaun (whoever that is) was Greek.

I am perfectly aware of who and what Jaun de Fuca (Ioannis Fokas) was, being Greek myself. I was addressing you inability to comprehend English.

You should have paid attention to spelling too (Ioannis Phokas).

Is the spelling for "F" same as in phallus? Easy to remember ain't it?

Oddly enough, there is no "ph" in Greek (Ιωάννης Φωκάς). but we do have the word "malaka".. Spelling, my ass.

I had to look that one up...
