LONDON — They called him a “fool,” a “buffoon” and even a “wazzock”
— English slang for a combination of the two.
Yet even as British lawmakers roundly condemned the brash Republican
presidential candidate Donald J. Trump on Monday, with language that could
have been lifted from his Twitter feed, they appeared to back away from the
idea of barring him from entering the country.
A three-hour debate in Parliament on whether to bar Mr. Trump from traveling
to Britain was set off by an electronic petition, signed by more than 570,
000 Britons, which likened Mr. Trump to those denied entry to the country
for engaging in “hate speech.”

The petition emerged in response to Mr. Trump’s call to bar Muslims from
entering the United States, something that shocked many in Britain, where
there is much debate on community cohesion and on how to prevent
radicalization by young Muslims.
The debate on Monday, held in the Petitions Committee, touched on a range of
issues, including whether Mr. Trump had breached the limits of free speech,
and whether he was being treated differently from others with similar views
because of his wealth and his prominence.
Tulip Siddiq, a Labour Party member of Parliament and a supporter of the
efforts to bar Mr. Trump, described him as “a poisonous, corrosive man”
who risked inflaming tensions between communities.
“Are we going to make exceptions for billionaire politicians?” she asked.
While Ms. Siddiq was one of several lawmakers who derided Mr. Trump, others
suggested that a visit to Britain — and perhaps a chance to sample food in
immigrant neighborhoods — might change his views.
Paul Flynn, a veteran Labour lawmaker, argued that, rather than barring Mr.
Trump, it would be better to invite him to the country and ask him to find
the “so-called no-go areas” that Mr. Trump has claimed the police here
fear to enter.
In December, Mr. Trump said that “we have places in London and other places
that are so radicalized that the police are afraid for their own lives.”
Naz Shah, a Labour lawmaker representing Bradford West, which has a large
Muslim population, described Mr. Trump as a demagogue who “panders to
people’s fears.” But she voiced opposition to a ban, and said she would
like to have Mr. Trump visit her constituency and eat a curry there.
The debate also included personal statements from Muslim lawmakers,
including Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh of the Scottish National Party, who said Mr.
Trump had condemned all Muslims through his words, herself included.
“He’s talking about me. He’s talking about my family, my children,” she
said. She described his comments as “horrendous” and argued that, through
their divisiveness, they gave “succor to terrorists.”
That theme was echoed by Jack Dromey, a Labour lawmaker, who said, referring
to the Islamic State, “In the current febrile crisis, ISIS needs Donald
Trump, and Donald Trump needs ISIS.”
Mr. Dromey added: “He is free to be a fool. He is not free to be a
dangerous fool on our shores.”
In fact, British lawmakers do not have the power to bar Mr. Trump, because
that authority lies with the home secretary, Theresa May. She can prohibit
people from entering the country if she decides that their presence in
Britain is not conducive to the public good. The government of Prime
Minister David Cameron has said exclusion powers “are very serious and are
not used lightly.”
Nevertheless, Mr. Trump appears to have taken the threat seriously, and has
warned that, if barred from Britain, he would withdraw his investments in
Scotland, which include the Turnberry golf resort.
Sarah Malone, the executive vice president of Trump International Golf Links
, said in a statement on Monday that it was “absurd that valuable
parliamentary time is being wasted debating a matter raised as part of the
American presidential election.
“For the U.K. to consider banning someone who made a statement in America,
about American borders during a U.S. election campaign, is ridiculous,” the
statement added.
During the debate, parliamentary sympathy for Mr. Trump was expressed by a
Conservative Party lawmaker, Philip Davies, who described him as a “
politician who has the guts to stand up and say what he thinks.”
Mr. Davies added, “People are fed up of being told what they can or can’t
think,” and said barring Mr. Trump from traveling to Britain would be “
absolutely ridiculous.”
Edward Leigh, a Conservative lawmaker and a former minister, argued that
barring Mr. Trump would probably be counterproductive.
Britain should draw a lesson, he said, from efforts to bar the far-right
Dutch politician Geert Wilders from entering the country in 2009, a move
that was successfully challenged amid much publicity.
Mr. Leigh argued that keeping out Mr. Trump would simply give him what he
craved: more attention and notoriety in the United States, which “would
only play into Mr. Trump’s hands.” | c*******o
