'Ban Donald Trump': How to sign the petition asking the government to refuse the Republican candidate entry

Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition asking the Home Office to deny presidential hopeful Donald Trump from entering the UK.

More than 55,000 people have signed the official petition as of Wednesday morning, meaning the government must respond. Should 45,000 people sign, the issue will be debated in the House of Commons.

Trump has courted controversy throughout his campaign to secure the Republican presidential nomination.

In his latest remarks the billionaire called for a “complete shutdown” on Muslim immigration to the United States, provoking worldwide anger and guaranteeing almost wall-to-wall press coverage.

It followed a Monmouth poll appearing to show rival Ted Cruz pulling ahead for the first time in the race.

Trump then claimed parts of London and Paris were “so radicalised” police officers from the cities were unable to enter certain boroughs or arrondissement. In response furious MPs and pressure groups have mounted a campaign to ban the potential candidate from entering the UK.
