No to the full monty

Ok the title may be misleading, but as anyone who followers my twitter account may have guessed I am absolutely seething at the event in the last few days. Not because they concern my personal well being, at the moment, but they are opening the doors for all other nations to follow. How can a country allow people from seven nations be barred from their country, when there is no evidence of direct terrorism, when other nations have a running total of murders of said nation, yet are allowed to rely move country. Doesn't sound like a scare tactic, its the start of fascism.

So what does my wonderful countries leader do to show that this is unacceptable, trade embargo or cease diplomatic relations? Hell no why not pop over to the country, have coffee and offer a state invitation to said leader, which we the public will pay for. And of course he accepts wanting the "full monty" of pomp and ritual. All at British tax payers expense no less. Now if that was the previous leaders of other nations acting such way they would have found the gates to our queen and parliament well and truly closed, but because it's America, our special friends.

Well I'm sorry but no way, it's not one law for one countries behaviour and another for another. Apart from the fact that the so called Muslim ban may well have broken it's own countries constitution, it's inhumane and breeches UN directives amongst many more. Not to mention that passing this on Holocaustday was just plain stupid as said same nation also turned away hundreds if not more of Jews during world war 2 thus sending them to their deaths, and now guess what, they are doing it again.

Now if the wonderful British prime minister continues down the path of warmly welcoming said leader to the UK on an all expenses paid ego boost, she is not only allowing this behaviour, she is signing the whole UK up for being tarnished with the same morals. Well I'm sorry but I am not going to lay down quietly and get labelled like that. Because history proves it starts with one nation, or one religion, then slowly filters out and anyone of minority such as disability, or wrong religion or politics, ends up physically wearing that label or having it tattooed one their arm, and so it spirals. So as a nation it is our duty to prevent our leadership to continue down this path.

As there are protests on one side of the Atlantic so there should be here. There is a petition currently going round to called for the invitation to be revoked, sign it. Also there is a direct open letter going round that can be signed. Remember this action has already prevented a knight of the realm Sir Mo Farrah from returning to his family and training as they are in Oregon, and an Oscar nominated director from attending the Oscars to see if he has won. But greater than that it has removed the hope of families being reunited after persecution, and they have now lost every penny they saved being rejected at the gates, after already gaining visa and having been vetted. A thirty second signature by comparison is nothing. If you don't mind you hard earned tax money being wasted on security of the man who caused this pain, on feeding him food that most people in the UK would dream of apart from Christmas, and so on, then feel free to ignore. But remember in times of turmoil indifference easily becomes the keystone for other greater evils. If people like that want the full monty, go ahead and pay for it themselves, don't expect the little people to just to boost your misplaced ego and don't expect me to rubber stamp you actions by bully tactics. As far as I am concerned you can take your full monty and stick it.
