1.5 Million Brits Demand U.K. Cancel Trump's Visit over Muslim Ban
------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people protested in London and in cities
across Britain Monday to denounce Trump's immigration ban, as 1.5
million Brits have signed on to a petition demanding Britain cancel
Trump's planned state visit. This is British lawmaker Sayeeda Warsi.

Sayeeda Warsi: "There comes a moment when we have to ask our government:
Where do you stand? And that's why I'm here today, not just because I
believe what Trump is doing is appalling, not just because I believe
it's counterproductive, not just because I know that it will not achieve
even what he says he is trying to achieve, but because I want my
government to stand up and say he is wrong."

British Prime Minister Theresa May met with President Trump on Friday in
the first visit by a head of state to the White House since Trump's
inauguration.
