The 3-hour reality TV Debate in British Parliament

UK’s Parliament and self-professed Barack Obama “bro” Prime Minister David Cameron just gave the world’s chattering classes Lesson 101 in the ‘Hypocrisy of Politically Correct Governments’. Reality TV in America is aided and abetted by Donald J. Trump, the lately-minted Bruce (“call me Caitlyn”) Jenner and assorted others. In England, Reality TV yesterday burned 3 hours of ‘debate’ to ban Trump from ever stepping foot on sanctimonious British shores for ‘hate speech’. As far as the garish acts of Reality TV go, Caitlyn, in all of her newfound get-ups, got nothing on the two-bit players of British Parliament, whose uber sensibilities insulted by Trump’s remarks were on full display--even while being an ocean away!

The phony, and largely lazy politicians if not elected to, are at least expected to look after gargantuan British sinkholes and to preserve the land along their aged and world famous shoreline from Mother Nature’s erosion deserve a Hollywood Oscar for keeping up the pretense that their debate was really triggered by a digital, 574,000 average bloke-signed petition. Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Sierra Rayne already proved that the so-called Ban Donald Trump Petition, launched over Trump’s remarks about Muslims, smelled downright kangaroo-ish because it was government-rigged".

Holes, bigger than the ones Obama drives at out on the golf range, can be found shot through yesterday’s 3-hour long, soap box debate just long enough to fill up the space between their late morning nap and afternoon high tea. “No vote will be held over the debate, and Britain's Prime Minister says he doesn't support any ban.” (CNN London, Jan. 18, 2016)

“The unconventional debate is unlikely to result in any practical move by Parliament. No vote will be held at the end of the debate, and politicians are expected to treat it more as an opportunity to air their views on the divisive Republican under the protection of parliamentary privilege, which legally shields them from accusations of defamation or slander.”

If Prime Minister Cameron, who leads with a most politically correct-sculpted weak chin, and is already on the public record for commenting to Parliament last month that Trump’s proposal for a temporary ban on Muslims from entering the United States for security was “divisive, stupid and wrong“ but that a British ban on Trump in response was unnecessary”, then why provide a fully-fledged, 3-hour parliamentary debate on it ?

His not supporting any ban but allowing a 3-hour debate to play it out is akin to expecting modern-day politicians to be mostly no-shows at a free booze fest. Here’s how the parliamentarians got away with yesterday’s soap opera:

“Any petition that gets more than 100,000 signatures is considered by Parliament's Petitions Committee, which weighs whether to send the petition for debate by lawmakers in Parliament.” (CNN) 

Canada Free Press is not subjecting its readers to any of the comments of the British MPs in full outrage, other than a sampling of ones made by Tulip Siddiq because it cannot offer any measure against gag reflex:

"People often say that the public are apathetic about politics," said member Tulip Siddiq. "This online petition signed by nearly 600,000 people shows that when people feel a sense of justice, when people feel that we need to stop a poisonous, corrosive man (from) entering our country, they will act in good conscience." (CNN)

She continued, "But this is not any man we're talking about. This is a man who is extremely high profile, involved in the American show business industry for years and years, a man who is interviewing for the most important job in the world. His words are not comical. His words are not funny. His words are poisonous. They risk inflaming tension between vulnerable communities." There’ll be time for more comments like Siddiq’s when parliament goes into Debate, Number Two.

“Members of Parliament will also debate a counter-petition that calls for Trump not to be banned from the country. (CNN) "Leave the decision making on appropriate responses to the Americans. (Let's) mind our own business," reads the petition, launched by David Gladwin, which has received more than 40,000 signatures.”

Where British Parliament got the idea for a parliamentary debate to slam Trump for what he said in America should be no real mystery. It more than likely originated with an SOS sent to the Brits in an election year by sniveling American Democrats, who, “alas, alas!” intuit that outsiders like Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz have a chance to deliver America from Obama’s Fundamental Transformation chokehold. Make that the same Obama who, in April, will visit Britain to sell the population on the lie that they will be safer within the European Union. Meanwhile, nothing’s changed in England Forever by yesterday’s absurd 3-hour parliamentary debate, because in Daily Mail fashion, Brits can be told: “Brace yourselves. Climate Change guarantees that another Winter storm is headed your way any day soon.
