This could get awkward if the Donald ascends to the White House:
Donald Trump is used to being the one doing the tough talk.
But on Monday the Republican presidential hopeful was on the receiving end of the harsh words — with no opportunity of rebuttal — as British MPs made their disdain for him clear during a parliamentary debate on whether to ban him from the country.
In doing so, the parliamentarians served up blunter criticisms than some of his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination have landed, labeling the 69-year-old “poisonous,” “a buffoon” and even a “wazzock” — British slang for “a stupid or annoying person.”
“I don’t think Donald Trump should be allowed within 1,000 miles of our shore,” Jack Dromey, the Labour Party’s shadow home affairs minister, told the assembled MPs.
The debate was triggered by a public petition launched in the wake of Trump’s call to ban Muslims from the U.S., which called on the British parliament to ban Trump from the country for hate speech.
Whatever you think of Donald Trump, the notion that an entire nation would seek to ban the entry of someone who is neither a violent criminal or a revolutionary simply because he espouses ideas they disagree with is absolutely appalling. It’s also becoming par for the course in Britain, where social unrest and cultural upheaval has been answered by the imposition of draconian speech codes and the sort of surveillance state envisioned by George Orwell so many years ago.
