Donald Trump

[VNA]

There is no such thing as free speech. The law prevents it. Be a nice idea if some facts were quoted on here for a change......
The Home Secretary can ban anybody who, in their opinion is "engaged in unacceptable behaviour". That involves their speech. Shirley Phelps-Roper has been banned as she is "considered to be engaging in unacceptable behaviour by fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the United Kingdom".
Seems to me that Trump falls squarely in that category. That some people here like what he's saying doesn't matter. Quite clearly over half a million people feel disgusted enough to not want him here.

Generally agree Mr Tread. 

With free speech comes responsibility.  ie you can expect to be held to account for what you say. 

The Donald is inciting racial hatred.  The Donald coming to the UK at this moment would not be wise, it could encourage serious civil disorder.   

Mr Salmond may well be trying to get ahead of the press and distract them from his previous, umm well, lack of judgement concerning the Donald.  But of course money talks, though anybody with half a brain could figure out that the Donald is an unsavoury nasty character, and that yes there may be a price to pay later. 

But meanwhile The Donald could possibly find his business ventures in Scotland going down hill fast.  What a shame.
