If you actually read the text of the Executive order, it doesn't mention ANY country or countries at all. So you might well ask, where are the mainstream press getting their stories that Trump named or singled out, or banned 7 countries?
Could be! People are apparently, intentionally or otherwise, not aware of the difference between the RESULTS of the E.O. versus the actual CONTENT of it.
I think a lot of the leave votes from the brexit referendum was to stop a lot of immigration (freedom of movement and possibly told by the EU how many refugees we may have to take) coming into this country. We seem to think giving monetary aid to the refugee camps is better than opening our borders to a number of the refugees fleeing war torn countries.
I think at the moment it could be a case of the pot calling the kettle black. How many other countries could Brits be welcome to come and stay in if we said we were christians
I think he's done this a bit crudely and needed a little refinement before presentation , and Im not hell bent believing on what Im about to say because Im dithering about rights and wrongs --- ,but I cant help thinking -
lets pretend we had a killer disease spreading around the world , but it could be carried only by people with a certain genetic makeup .Out of those, relatively few might have something extra in their makeup that precludes their transmitting the disease. Which answer would protect the UK from the spread of disease the best ?
Should we
a) stop every person from entering the UK immediately
b) stop just those from countries where we know most will be of this genetic makeup and not worry immediately about the ones who wouldnt be a danger becaue they carry the extra protection.
c) Let everyone in so we dont infringe anyones human rights, and set about vetting everyone carefully for signs of the disease ?
Remember this ban would only be for a few months until the situation could be got under control.
It should be a) initially then re-assess to see if you can move to b), but our political leaders would end up doing it the other way round and hope they can correct their mistake afterwards.
Trump has chosen (b) surely? which is why he's being accused of being discriminatory . Does that mean choosers of (a) think he's wrong?
A very brief input from Farage earlier (ok, so Farage might be a dirty word but he has knowledge) said that it was Obama who had drawn this up , prior to the end of his Presidency.
As much as I'm not particularly approving of Trump for different reasons, this protest has got totally out of hand and it seems like a knee jerk reaction from many, probably due to some little shit in this country, named 'Owen Jones', who is likely to be one of the greatest trouble makers this country has ever known.
Owen Jones, the columnist and Labour supporter, has organised an event in London outside 10 Downing Street, to stand in solidarity with those who are targeted by Trump’s executive order.
Speakers will include shadow business secretary Clive Lewis and the former Labour leader Ed Miliband. Shadow attorney general Shami Chakrabarti will also address the event, which so far has 18,000 attending on the event page.

Here, read the President's Executive Order for yourself: Click
Prevent Donald Trump from making a State Visit to the United Kingdom.
Donald Trump should be allowed to enter the UK in his capacity as head of the US Government, but he should not be invited to make an official State Visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen.
Donald Trump's well documented misogyny and vulgarity disqualifies him from being received by Her Majesty the Queen or the Prince of Wales. Therefore during the term of his presidency Donald Trump should not be invited to the United Kingdom for an official State Visit.
I'm not alone: as of now the petition stands at:
