British PM's pour scorn on Trump's racist and sexist viewpoints/beliefs in a state visit debate lasting 3 hours after 1.8 million people sign petition, at Westminster Hall. Britain's MP's were concerned that Trump's visit would risk embarrassing the Queen. MP's compared Trump's behavior to that of a "petulant child". Alex Salmond said he was unsure whether, "to be appalled by the morality of the invitation or astonished by its stupidity!"
Asked by Caroline Lucas, co-leader of the Green Party, if Trump's views on climate science should also be taken into account, Flynn responded that the President had shown "cavernous depths of scientific ignorance" on the issue.
During the debate, thousands of demonstrators descended on Paliament Square to protest against the visit. The shadow home secretary, Diane Abbott, addressed the crowds, as did Lucas- who emerged from the debate to describe Trump as a "bully and a bigot".
Several female MP's stood up to complain of Trump's sexism. Labor MP Paula Sherriff quoted Trump's infamous words, "grab her by the pussy", comment as a sexual assault. Labor MP Naz Shah said she felt that Trump should not be invited to a State Visit in England, she said, "To do so now that he is President will only reinforce his actions, his divisive racist and sexist messages. This flies in the face of everything we stand for. We cannot support what he is doing", she said.
*****************************************************************************
While the British Prime Minister Theresa May will not retract her invitation for a State Visit by Trump to England. It remains an unspoken rule, for Trump to understand, that England would not tolerate the immature and pubescent behavior of America's 70 year old "leader of the free world", to even try "grabbing the old gray Corgi!". Period.
