What the petition asks
Despite over 1.8 million signing e petition and President Trump being prevented from speaking in Parliament, Prime Minister is refusing to call off state visit. Taking this into account hundreds of thousands are expected to join protests against visit pushing security costs to well over £15 million
The state visit is not justified at this stage of the Trump Presidency
It will cause embarrassment to the Queen and cause huge protests at massive cost to the tax payer
Presidents Reagan, George H W Bush & Clinton never had a state visit to UK throughout their terms of office
President George W Bush & Obama only had a state visit after 3 years into their Presidency
If the state visit goes ahead against will of millions of British people the US Government should pay all security costs
