UK Counter Petition

A poorly-worded petition supporting US President Donald Trump’s planned state visit to the UK in defiance of protests has hit 100,000 signatures on the UK Parliament website, meaning the government must respond.

The petition, which is riddled with spelling mistakes, argues that Trump should be allowed to make a state visit to the UK because “he is a leader of a free world.”

It goes on to state that Britain is a country which does not believe people who “appose our point of view should be gagged [sic].”

The petition comes as a separate appeal to block the visit surpassed 1.6 million signatures.

The petition in support of Trump, which grew rapidly Tuesday morning, now has the required number of signatures needed before the government will respond.

One hundred thousand. Almost as much as 1.6 million.

At any rate, I don't understand the point. Isn't the issue already being considered in parliament due to the 1.6 million who don't want him?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
