Rejected petition Deny Trump access to UK whilst US still separates children from their parents.

Shocking footage of children in the USA being forcibly removed from their families only to be held in detention centres has recently come to light. This monstrous practise has absolutely no place in any civilised society.

More details

The UK should assume an unequivocal stance on this issue and refuse to entertain any formal state visit from President Trump until such times as this policy is overturned. As a nation we should in no way be seen to condone such atrocities, particularly not from the supposed leader of the Free World.
