1. Huh? no corroboration? I don't see any other news sources carrying what would be

a monumental story.

2. CNN WaPo The Hill NPR have stories about the debate but not the result

Google news search. Those are just the headlines

This is so embarrassing that they could just be laying off it. They may feel like it would be overkill at this point.

3. No, it did not.

Anybody in the UK can raise a petition on the government website, and if it gets over a certain threshold of signatures, it will be debated in parliament. That doesn't mean any binding vote will result.

The House of Commons debated two petitions today, one anti a state visit for Trump (but not a lesser-status visit), and one pro it. There was a procedural vote at the end simply to confirm the debate had been held.

There was no vote for or against the prospective visit.

4. Please Brits ...

Please don't think we are all like this arsehole.

In fact I can understand your not wanting him to infest your country.

5. I'm surprised it came to a debate, Trump is a threat to the planet.

God save the queen!
