British Parliament took time out Monday to destroy Donald Trump.
Members of British Parliament debated a petition to ban Donald Trump from the U.K. on Monday.
Nearly 600,000 people in the U.K. signed an online petition to ban Donald Trump from entering the U.K. – our closest ally in Europe – so Parliament took up the question and debated it.
During the discussion Trump was referred to as an idiot, a buffoon, daft and offensive, impulsive – not well informed, the orange prince of American self-publicity, a demagogue, and a wazzock. The last one meaning a foolish or annoying person. An entry in Mashable defines it as:
Wazzock was a particularly prevalent—and particularly loutish—insult in the 1990s. At the time, “lad culture” ran throughout British music and television, and wazzock, a North-England accented contraction of the sarcastic wiseacre (a know-it-all) became a powerful tool to shoot people down in an argument.
The Washington Post reports that: “The man who would Make America Great Again, it turns out, has already done a great job of unifying Great Britain. Members of Parliament from across the political spectrum took turns insulting the American billionaire.”
British legislators giggled as a colleague read aloud some of the puffy plutocrat’s utterances on global warming (“It’s freezing and snowing in New York”) and on the “great” and “inexpensive” border wall he wants to build.
Gavin Newlands, an MP from the Scottish National Party stated “Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is an idiot.”
The Washington Post also reported that:
A Tory MP, declaring Trump “crazy” with “no valid points to make,” said he would like to see Americans challenge Trump with the words that brought down Joe McCarthy: “Have you left no sense of decency?”
“I don’t think Donald Trump should be allowed within 1,000 miles of our shores,” said Labour MP Jack Dromey. “Trump is free to be a fool, but he is not free to be a dangerous fool in Britain.”
