Trump UK ban petition passes 370,000 signatures

A petition calling for Donald Trump to be barred from entering the UK has gathered more than 370,000 names.

Since the petition which went on Parliament's e-petition website on Tuesday in response to Trump's call for a temporary halt on Muslims entering the United States, has more than 100,000 signatures, will automatically be considered for debate in Parliament.

Chancellor George Osborne criticized the 69-year-old Republican presidential hopeful's comments but rejected calls for him to be banned from the UK.

A counter-petition, set up on Wednesday, saying Mr Trump should not be banned as it would be "totally illogical" has attracted more than 9,000 signatures.
