Britain's opposition leader invited U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who sparked an outcry by calling for a ban on Muslims from entering the United States, to join him on a visit to a London mosque. The comments from Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, a socialist who represents a multi-ethnic district of north London, come a day before the British parliament debates a motion calling for a ban on half-Scottish Trump from visiting the country. "I decided to invite Donald Trump on his visit to Britain to come with me to my constituency because he has problems with Mexicans and he has problems with Muslims," Corbyn told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show. "As you know my wife is Mexican and my constituency is very, very multi-cultural so what I was going to do was go down to the mosque with him and let him talk to people there," he said.

Smart move for Corbyn. Gets him in the news and in good with at least some of his constituents. As for Trump, anybody think he'll accept graciously? If he says anything it'll be something like "New York City has plenty of mosques and when I want to go in one I'll do it there." Course he could surprise me.
I think he'll refuse because he'll have to remove his shoes and show he's not 6'3" in sock feet. Plus they'll see the lifts in his shoes.
