1 million sign petition to stop Trump's state visit. I wonder if there's been any abuse of that particular mechanism. If not maybe we ought to adopt it for minor stuff like general elections.

I heard Baroness Chakrabati being interviewed on TV this morning. Evidently she says doesn't want to offend Trump but doesn't mind calling him a racist, misogynist. Unsuprisngly she didn't have too much to say about all the other oppressive leaders who've been granted state visits in the past and whose records (as opposed to rhetoric) are far worse than Trump's. Still I suppose we weren't being 'governed' by Twitter-rage in those days...
