On Monday,
MPs will spend three hours in Westminster Hall debating whether Donald Trump
should be allowed to enter the UK in the wake of controversial remarks about
Muslims, Mexicans, women and gay people.
Over 570,000 people signed
an online petition calling for Donald Trump to be refused entry into the UK.
The outspoken billionaire
sparked controversy after he demanded a "total and complete shutdown"
of Muslims entering the US.
On Sunday, Jeremy Corbyn
said he would like to take Mr Trump on a visit to a North London mosque.
The Labour leader said:
"I decided to invite Donald Trump on his visit to Britain to come with me
to my constituency because he has problems with Mexicans and he has problems
with Muslims.
"My wife is Mexican
and my constituency is very multicultural. What I was going to do was go down
to the mosque with him and let him talk to people there."
"He wants to ban all
Muslims from the United States, I want to ban all Donald Trumps from
Scotland."
Campaigners staged protests
at two golf resorts owned by Mr Trump in Scotland on Sunday ahead of the
Commons debate.
The Republican candidate
also claimed there are parts of London that are "so radicalised" that
police officers are "afraid for their own lives".
The debate was selected by
the Petitions Committee, a group of 11 backbench MPs who decide whether
e-petitions that reach over 100,000 signatures should be put forward for
discussion.
A rival petition saying it
would be illogical to ban Mr Trump from the UK has reached over 40,000
signatures.
Donald did not say Ban UK, so why debate?
