Donald Trump debate in UK

          Yesterday members of the British Government debated whether or not to ban Donald Trump from entering their country. Tough words from the Prime Minister. I found the most interesting statements were from a MP who suggested that they should allow Mr. Trump into the UK so that they could show him a real democracy and then "send him home with his tail between his legs".
          What I have discovered in my travels around Europe is that their citizens understand and pay attention to WORLD politics far more than most U.S. citizens. They see the world as a whole rather than only seeing their nation in isolation. It was an interesting debate. Would our congress debate banning a single British citizen?
