Peculiar that there should be such angst over Obama and (maybe) Weird Hair commenting on whatever that EU thing is that you’re fussing about. I don’t recall that much outrage in America when British P.M. David Cameron [was here lobbying Senators](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/uks-david-cameron-helps-obama-urge-congress-against-iran-sanctions-bill/) in an effort to defeat sanctions against Iran. You get Donald Trump for what, a couple of days? We’re stuck with him nonstop for (at best) the next five months. ---

David Cameron was unnecessarily harsh on Trump for his (temporary) Muslim-ban comment. He should have avoided commenting on it. (Or If pressed too much, atleast use polite language to disagree) . But he used harsh language against Trump to capture the Muslim votebank. ---

> [@Voyager](#): > > Trump’s stupid and racist proposal directly affects Cameron’s constituents. Do you think there is something wrong with using harsh language against bigotry? Even I disagree with (temporary) Muslim-ban. But if I am holding the office of PM of UK, I would never give out my opinion in public (because I am holding the office of PM). Remember, Trump is just a political candidate in a different country than David’s, not US president. Basically Cameron had no business commenting. But not only did he comment , he used harsh language which made it look much worse. Clearly he is showing off. He is desperate for Muslim vote bank. (I would not ban Muslims, but surely ban various parts of Islam. Islam is not like other religion which will allow peaceful progressive coexistence like all other religions. I will try to protect a Muslim from any injustice happening in front of my eyes just like I would protect a non-muslim. I am a Trump supporter. Neither is Trump a bigot nor are vast majority of his supporters.) ---

Neither is Trump a bigot nor are vast majority of his supporters.) The first part of your post just repeated your previous post. But this part is even stupider than Trump. How do you propose to ban parts of Islam? I don’t think the factions carry membership cards around. So you are a Trump supporter. No shock there. So, which of his many contradictory positions do you support? Trashing freedom of the press through libel suits? Attacking a hero judge because he has a Hispanic surname and has the nerve to be trying Trump’s con game? His cut taxes and increase spending plan? His being buddy buddy with Putin but not liking democratically elected European leaders? ---

Your opposition (if you are supporting any one party) can also have reasonable ideas which can possibly be better than your ideas. You can ban face-covering veil in public places like France did. One can ban possession and distribution of objectionable Islamic texts also. ---

His being buddy buddy with Putin but not liking democratically elected European leaders? I think what he likes best is that Trump’s polickes would be likely to cause the American (and with it, the world’s) economy to crater, leaving an opening for a new economic world order to arise, phoenix-like, from the ashes; an economic world order that will be more just for natioms such as his. ---

I saw Cameron being an idiot (I repeat myself, I know) on Countryfile last night. He kept banging on about the single market, which many on the Leave side actually want; it’s just the political union most do not. Informal canvassing around here indicates a majority in favour of Remain. ---
