The other night I caught a bit of the debate in the House of Commons about whether Donald Trump should be let into the U. K. for a visit.  That's rich.  A bizarre straining at a gnat while swallowing a camel of unassimilable elements who spell the eventual doom of the host culture.  Am I exaggerating?  By how much?  Am I just plain wrong?  I hope so!<\/span><\/p>\n
