By Andrew Young-
MPs are in a rift over the state visit of President Trump to the UK.
A tense ongoing debate over the visit amid protests and future planned protests is set to ruin the visit whenever it takes place.
The parliamentary split over the visit shows just how high emotions are running over the U.S president’s planned state visit.
Apart from the strong feelings against Trump’s political views and policies is the speed at which he visits was arranged.
Trump was invited on a state visit to the UK after just 7 days into his presidency in contrast to with former president Barack Obama and George Bush, both of whom were invited after over a year as president.
DEFIED
Donald Trump has defied the odds in every sense from being the party nominee to becoming president and now being the quickest to be invited on a state visit to the UK.
Labour MP, Paul Flynn said”to it would be totally wrong to go ahead with the visit, adding that it would be “awkward for the Queen”.
However, Nigel Evans has asked Trump’s critics to “get over it”, and said attacking Trump for being racist is equal to attacking the American voters who voted him in.
STUPID
Evan’ s comment is stupid because so what if the American voters who voted him in ate equally attacked? What matters most is whether Trump is racist or not, not the fact American voters voted him in.
Evans needs to get a reality check, what none sense he is talking! Whether Trump is actually racist may be debatable, the controversial president would argue that his war is simply against terrorism.
Trump was voted in because the voters did not want Hilary Clinton after the Wikileaks revelations, the issue of whether he was racist may not have been a consideration, but if.may have too.
His supporters liked his pledge to put America first and did not want Clinton in.
Protesters gathered outside Parliament Square and have promised to stage more protests in Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff and Manchester.
LEEDS PROTESTS
Today in Leeds, protesters gathered to celebrate migrants and conducted a march in the town centre where several anti- Trump protesters gathered with banners, shouting “Trump out, refugees in”.
A number of speakers denounced the American president and criticised Theresa May for being quick to go and meet him in America
