Rejected petition Stop President Trump’s State Visit to the UK in July 2018

In the last few days, the images of children being kept in cages has haunted the world, a crime committed by the nation claiming to be the leaders of the free world.

This petition demands that the UK government cancel Donald Trump’s visit to the UK until the policy of family separation is ended.

More details

In recent days, distressing news has emerged that Donald Trumps’ policies have lead to migrant families being cruelly separated from each other, for the crime of seeking a better life.

Children are being kept in cages, in some instances neglected, and according to some reports unable even to hug their siblings.

Theresa May has stated that these images are ‘disturbing’ but wishes to continue with the visit. We argue that refusing to fully condemn this behaviour is instead condoning it.
