British MP: 'Trump should be arrested for inciting racial hatred'

Source: The Hill




BY AVERY ANAPOL - 11/30/17 09:20 AM EST

British politicians are continuing to slam President Trump the day after he retweeted anti-Muslim videos from a British ultranationalist group.

One Labour MP tweeted that if Trump visits the U.K., he should be “arrest for inciting racial hatred.”




The Times reported that several MPs publicly criticized Trump as “fascist,” “stupid” and guilty of “spreading evil.” Another said the president is “racist, incompetent, or unthinking, or all three.”

Peter Bone, a Conservative MP, called for Prime Minister Theresa May to advise Trump to delete his Twitter account, a statement that Home Secretary Amber Rudd said she agrees with, according to the Times.

The previous Labour government.. the then Home Secretary released a list of people banned from entering the UK. Wikipedia has the list here...

Some anonymous user went in and did a little edit...

They replaced Michael Savage with Donald J Trump.

I am quite certain that if Mr. Trump was not the US President, and didn't have business interests in the UK, he would be banned. The publishing of lists of banned people ended when the Conservatives came back to government, though these people are still banned.

I think the press and the Dems are still playing waaaaaaay too meek and mild. Europeans, with good reason, have been as shocked and scarred as most of us. The difference is their press and some of their politicians are not afraid to counter against him with relentless force, on a different scale. Here MSM is STILL pretending that both parties are equal. Its just a few bad apples from both parties, which they try and equal out as a wash, its just that one of those apples might be the President.
And our politicians are simply not fighting back hard enough. They wait for Trump to tweet his next assholic thing and then defensively react. He should be called 'illegitimate' and a 'traitor' at every turn.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Social_Behaviour,_Crime_and_Policing_Act_2014


The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 (c. 12) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which greatly expanded law enforcement powers in addressing anti-social behaviour. The Act replaced anti-social behaviour orders, the primary civil order in the United Kingdom since 1998, with criminal behaviour orders. Home Secretary Theresa May and John Taylor, Baron Taylor of Holbeach introduced the legislation.

The focus of the Act was to streamline the tools and powers available to frontline agencies in dealing with anti-social behaviour. Previously there had been 19 different powers, but these were reduced to a base of 6. They are:
Civil Injunction
Criminal behaviour order
Dispersal powers
Community Protection Notices and Orders
Public Space Protection Order
Closure of Premises

(snip)What warranted an ASBO[edit]

An ASBO was issued in response to "conduct which caused or was likely to cause harm, harassment, alarm or distress, to one or more persons not of the same household as him or herself and where an ASBO was seen as necessary to protect relevant persons from further anti-social acts by the defendant".[17] In England and Wales they were issued by magistrates' courts, and in Scotland by the sheriff courts.

The British government introduced ASBOs through the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. In the UK, a CRASBO was a "criminally related" ASBO. One local authority published photos of those given ASBOs on an Internet site.[18] Anti-social behaviour included a range of problems such as:[19][20]
abandoning cars
arson
begging
casteism
dangerous driving
defecating/urinating in public
disturbing the peace
dogging (exhibitionistic public sex)
drug dealing/consumption of controlled recreational drugs
drunken behaviour
fare evasion
hate-crime
homophobia
intimidation
littering/fly tipping/dog fouling
loitering (with intent)
noise pollution
paedophilic activity
racism and xenophobia
rioting
rudeness
smoking in public places
spitting
stealing/mugging/shoplifting
urban exploration
vandalism/criminal damage/graffiti
