Has This Ever Happened to a US Presidential Candidate Before?
An online citizen's petition to ban Trump from the United Kingdom garnered more than 568,000 signatures[/url], well above the [url=]100,000 threshold required for a measure to be considered for a debate, since being filed on December 8.
The petition says that because the country has banned entry to people for "hate speech" before, "the same principles should apply to everyone who wishes to enter the UK."
P.S. Sorry for mis-spelling the word 'candidate' in my subject entry. Couldn't figure out how to correct it.

Got your back, Fred.
I cannot remember it happening before. What a disgrace.
Of course, the Know Nothings will see it as a badge of honor and turn on our British friends.
