London (CNN)A petition calling for Donald Trump to be banned from entering the UK has attracted more than a quarter of a million signatures -- more than enough for a committee to consider sending the motion for parliamentary debate.

The British Parliament debates petitions once they surpass 100,000 signatures.

"The U.K. has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech," the petition's description says.

Several British politicians are on board. Labour Party lawmaker Jack Dromey warned that the "dangerous fool" should not come "within 1,000 miles of our shores."

The Muslim Council of Britain echoed the call and recommended that Parliament apply the same standards to Trump as they would to others who "espouse hatred."

Sarah Wollaston, a Member of Parliament for the ruling Conservative Party, recommended a "serious discussion."

Labor MP Tulip Siddiq, a Muslim, said, "If you're not going to welcome people like me into your country, then we don't want to welcome you."

So let's see, in just the last two days, Donald the Chump has managed to insult the Chancellor of Germany while his future chances of entering the UK may come up for debate in parliament, two of our country's greatest allies.
