David Cameron stands by attack on Donald Trump over Muslim 'ban'
[BBC] Downing Street has said David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
stands by his criticism of Donald Trump but will work with whoever is elected US president.

The UK PM has called the Republican hopeful "stupid, divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
and wrong" over his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US.

Mr Trump replied by warning he may not have a "very good relationship" with Mr Cameron if he enters the White House.

He is also involved in a spat with new London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

The US presidential contender said he would not forgive Mr Khan for calling him "ignorant" - and challenged the Mayor to take part in an IQ test, an offer mocked by Mr Khan's team.

#3 How about a 'ban' on ALL immigration until we get our "illegal" problem under control? Nothing racis about that, is there?
