British MPs debate Trump ban, label him 'crazy,' a 'buffoon,' a 'wazzock'
By Tim Hume, CNN

London (CNN)Donald Trump is used to being the one doing the tough talk.

But on Monday the Republican presidential hopeful was on the receiving end of the harsh words -- with no opportunity of rebuttal -- as British MPs made their disdain for him clear during a parliamentary debate on whether to ban him from the country.

In doing so, the parliamentarians served up blunter criticisms than some of his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination have landed, labeling the 69-year-old "poisonous," "a buffoon" and even a "wazzock" -- British slang for "a stupid or annoying person."

I must confess the the term "wazzock" is new to me ...

[jaidam]

Shooting the messenger because the message is deemed unacceptable. Well, I suppose that is one way to deal with the situation. Trump claimed recently that parts of England were no-go zones for whites. David Cameron tore strips off him, and claimed he was lying, racist whatever insult you fancy. Hours later English police confirmed that he was right, that many areas are off limits even for police(unless they have prior permission from muslim elders in the community). The whole situation is outrageous.

Trump is the one man that might just save the ethnic white from being bred into extinction as a punishment for being too successful.

Haven't they got anything more important to debate?

Let me guess who those half a million signing debate petition are...not really guessing... nice to think those half million would in turn push off,,off the planet

Yes, you would be guessing and guessing wrong.

Trump is everything the British Parliament has described him as. America is fully deserving of him as their new president.

[dunroaming]

Once again the blinkers are firmly on. The profile of the voters for banning Trump are predominently white middle class women according to a recent TV news report. Most people happily signed the petition openly with their location lodged. There is an overwhelmingly high proportion of the Muslim population that actively do not want Trump banned because they feel that would give credibility to his comments.

Trump and Palin? They make good pair. Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello were better.

"I'm not sure that he's going to be terribly worried about this debate," said Conservative MP Sir Edward Leigh.

A fair statement. And what are these back benchers going to say if Trump just happens to be the next American president?

[Traveling Sailor]

Hmmm! No wazzocks here. It is a great word though, I'll try to remember it.

[Jonmarleesco]

Well, the ever-suffering British electorate has elected more than its fair share of buffoons and wazzocks to parliament. But it has to wait five years before it has the opportunity to replace them with a fresh intake.

West country, by the sound of it ... yet I'm from Devon, but haven't heard it, either.

[Jingthing]

I don't think Trump is crazy OR stupid but I wouldn't say the same thing about most of his Trumpers. Yes, Trump says many crazy and stupid things but he's smart enough to know that gets him support.

[sanukjim]

They may call him these names during their ranting and raging but they "will not" officially make into any records any name calling as it could come back on The UK in many forms if he or his fellow Republicans get elected.The media can print these stories to promote sensational headlines but remember some of the tabloids report of UFO landings.

I've heard it around Lincolnshire.

Whom ever get elected president in the US will still be The Leader of The Nation That is number one in the free world.

[MrTee]

Trump is not destined to be the next POTUS.

[jesimps]

Correction: "Most left-wing MPs etc etc etc..."

These people sit in their expensive houses, well shielded from the hordes of immigrants who's votes they gather gleefully by their feigned support.

This was how Labour started our immigrant problem which was continued by the Tories who thought "If you can't beat them, join them"

Good luck Mr Trump sir.

I see some posters are adept in using far right terminology & receiving 'likes'.

There are no areas that are off limits for police, nor do they need anyone's permission.

It's unattributed nonsense from the usual right wing storytellers. Usually: "A policeman said"; ""Rob", who works for the Met Police", etc.

A Lancashire Police officer, who wished to remain anonymous, told MailOnline: 'There are Muslim areas of Preston that, if we wish to patrol, we have to contact local Muslim community leaders to get their permission'.

Lancashire Constabulary have subsequently stated that such a claim is without foundation.

Make a mental note:

When you see "Daily Express", "Daily Mail", "The Sun", etc., you can take it all with a very healthy pinch of salt.

I want to see Donald trump be the next president of America then these buffoons in Parliament will have to do some suckering up. The UK doesn't have any decent party or politicians. Not one represents and wants the best for British people.

[Grouse]

See definition of Wazzock above!

That is definitely not a trait unique to Britain

[GeorgesAbitbol]

Amazed by the amount of people defending the Donald here... the Pallin addition make this more laughable... please Trumpers, continue, the world is laughing at you..

[Jingthing]

The Brits were correct not to ban him. Wait until his presidential bid fails. Then ban him.

What's the matter with these people in the UK. You better look at how they have f*** up their own country with their immigration polices and the rest of the EU for that matter. Kettle calling it black!
