Trump calls for Muslim border ban ...

[Drummond]

Reported just minutes ago on the domestic BBC News channel, on our 10PM news, and which appears to be a breaking news story ... a report which says that Donald Trump has called for a total, complete ban on Muslims entering the US !

According to the report, Trump has called for this in response to large numbers of Muslims having hatred towards America.

They switched over to a report from the BBC's Washington correspondent, Nick Bryant ... who began his report by waving an A4 sheet of paper in front of the camera - which he said was a Press release from Donald Trump's HQ ... and said that when it first arrived in their Inboxes about an hour ago, it was thought to be a joke .. nobody took it seriously, thinking it was an attempt to parody Trump and couldn't be for real. But they've since confirmed that it's genuine.

'A total and complete shutdown on Muslims entering the US, until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on'. This is Bryant's quote from the Press release.

Bryant goes on to say that it's been 'condemned as racist demagoguery' by a number of groups there, not least from a number of Muslim groups in America, who've said 'We are now entering into the realms of the fascist'.

The White House has commented ... says that 'This statement is contrary to US values'.

Bryant concludes his report by saying that this type of comment from Trump usually propels him into a front-runner position in the race to the White House .. but - Bryant concludes by saying 'Many people will say this isn't the road to the White House, but this is the gutter'.

Bryant doesn't SAY who'd say that .. I get the impression that this is a bit of ad-hoc 'balanced' reporting (as balanced as it gets from the BBC) slung into the mix by Bryant's team. The report ended.

A quick disapproving scowl from Huw Edwards (anchorman for the News show) .. they sometimes don't bother to hide such things .. and he moved on to the next item.

Folks, a comment from me .. I'm impressed ! I'm sure British politicians wouldn't have the freedom to arrange such a ban, even if they were ever inclined to implement one !! I'll no doubt be learning of some White House vitriol on this one in the days to come ...

The road to the White House usually goes through the gutter. Nothing new there.

Well .. I approve !!!

It's a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted .. I'm sure that America has more than 'enough' Muslims already, ban or no ban. Still, the implementation of one surely can't do any harm, either.

Seeing if Trump has improved his ratings once more should be highly interesting, and if he has, whether Obama's mob are willing to learn anything from that (I somehow doubt it very much). It should add an interesting factor to the race for the Presidency.

If a country has one, that is one too many. They should get their own countries and stay there.

Can't help but agree. Having any around is useless at best, harmful (in the extreme ?) at worst.

Over here, when they're not planting bombs or giving hatespeech rants at or outside mosques, they prove themselves to be expert at claiming State benefit payouts. As much as they hate the country they're in, somehow, this fails to translate to comparable hatred for our money.

.... 'strange', that ....

I won't go that far, M'Lady. Just get rid of or reject the
ones that refuse to assimilate.

We should not kowtow to a minority that refuses to
be a part of this nation. That opinion applies to all
immigrants as well as the Black Live Matter idiots.

Sounds good on the face of it. However, some of the terrorists who've already launched attacks seemed, beforehand, to 'have assimilated'. The '7/7' London bombing of a decade ago was led by a schoolteacher who nobody had even though of as 'religious', much less 'radicalised'.

Fact is, you can never be sure of these things. Waiting around to be sure may mean waiting until it's too late ...

I am not yet fully in Trump's corner. He is a bit bombastic.

However, if he does stick to his guns and makes it, I can
see him cleaning house in an instant - no prisoners taken.

I doubt I will be in his corner until he wins the nomination.

Time will tell...he needs a strong VP candidate that might grab him
by his lapels and says "Look, Sir. You need to back off some".

It is hardly racist. Islam is NOT a race.

What he had done was speak up for the feelings of a lot of Americans who
have no other outlet. People are concerned and Obama is useless.

The Denier-in-Chief is spineless and refused to take control 3 years
ago when this threat began to grow.

Against American values?? Got to stop the leaks sometime, and
that means Mexicans and Central American Illegals as well

Perhaps Obama feels he can sell the message to the People that being 'pro-Muslim' (or at any rate, never daring to annoy them) is somehow, of itself, consistent with American values ?

That would be fully in line with the British Leftie approach, where the expectation always was that you should defer to whatever they want, on pain of being a 'bigot' or 'racist' if you don't.

This is your answer to a politician who defies your own brand of politics, Gabby ?

Looking on the 'bright' side .. if your lot succeeded in their gun control aims, it wouldn't really matter either way, now, would it ?
