A petition to stop Donald Trump’s state
visit that was started Sunday morning has already smashed its target.
The petition was launched to
say the US president should be allowed to visit the UK as a head of
state, but that he shouldn’t have the full trappings of a state visit.
It was started this morning by
Graham Guest and within a few hours it reached the target of 100,000
signatures. Any petition that reaches that landmark figure will be considered
for debate in Parliament.
Anger against Trump has
grown over the weekend after he signed an executive order preventing
citizens from seven mostly-Muslim countries from entering the US.
However, the petition is aimed at
trumps ‘misogyny and vulgarity’, saying his behaviour disqualifies him from
being received by Her Majesty the Queen or the Prince of Wales.
