London: Over 250,000 Britons have signed an online petition to ban the US Republican front-runner Donald Trump from the country as an answer for his ban on Muslims entering the United States.
Donald Trump owns two golf courses in Scotland which he visited earlier this year, called for a complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United State “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on”. His comments followed last week’s deadly shooting spree by two Muslims in California.
More than a quarter of a million Britons signatories to the petition was growing fast but Britains finance minister George Osborne said on Wednesday that Trump should not be banned from the country.
The petition says: “If the United Kingdom is to continue applying the ‘unacceptable behaviour’ criteria to those who wish to enter its borders, it must be fairly applied to the rich as well as poor, and the weak as well as the powerful.”
