Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Worrying though that guys like him are being seen as almost moderate owing to the sheer insanity of Trump Jeb Bush's strategy of coming across like mature, (reasonably) sane statesman seem to be electoral Kryptonite for your average Republican party member. They want a looney. Let's not forget Ben Carson was also doing very well earlier in the campaign, and he might well be the maddest of the lot.

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I've just been reminded of something Fidel Castro said during the 2012 race: "The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalised and expansive empire is – and I mean this seriously – the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been."

Capitão Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Haven't a clue how to embed the link, it's terrifying though. Word is that they paid this chap big money to write and provide the music for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I don't think he should be banned from entering the country that is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The guy's a nutter, but I'm not sure that responding to threats of bans is to... erm... ban. I'm sure some sort of irony meter would blow up in that instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Wonder if Alex S would quite so vocal if Trump hadn't made it clear he was on the No side in the referendum. Not keen on the guy as he is obviously doing an up to date version of Nixon's Southern strategy (check out the lack of diversity in the clip of the campaign song), but I'm not sure he is anything like as dangerous as Dick Cheney was in foreign policy terms.

throbber Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I agree with throbber. Im glad by this Has any political figure actually been banned from entering the UK? Im sure a good few politicians agree with him to some extent but can't say anything supportive for risk of a massive backlash. He's a right wing nutter who believes Muslims are a massive problem and has come out and said what he believes, thats politics/life and its up to the Americans if they elect him or not.

welshbairn Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 We should ban him for promising lots of jobs in the North East to get planning permission for his golf course and then reneging on the deal, and for having an annoying whiny voice and stupid hair. And for saying Mexicans are all rapists and thieves when some of them clearly aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 And can you just ban someone from coming into the UK? Would there not have to be legal proceedings to implement this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Did we not ban a Dutch politican? Anti Islamic right wing guy Few 'hate preachers' have been banned from entering in recent years too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 And can you just ban someone from coming into the UK? Would there not have to be legal proceedings to implement this? Nope, just about anyone can be refused for just about any reason, by the order of the Home Secretary or if the entry clearance officer "believes exclusion of applicant is conducive to public good because of their conduct, convictions, character, associations or other reasons."

throbber Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Ah i see, still shouldn't be banned from entering the country and we should concern ourselves with British politics rather than watching whats going on in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 His golf courses have already been banned from holding the British Open because of what he's said, and the golf blazers are about as right wing as you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Theres plenty of right wing maniacs in Britain as it is though, the British public are so eager to be offended about this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 This is a pure minter for Britain. 100%. Extremely embarrassing this is even being debated. Though good to see Alex Salmond showing his true bitterness: "I want all Donald Trumps banned from Scotland" Minter indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
