The only people not signing the petition to #banTrumpFromUK are the writers of The Crown as it'll make a cracking episode for season 8.

And another high-profile sceptic. You can guess. Can you guess? Of course you can guess!
People signing the anti-Trump state visit petition would have welcomed Hillary if she'd won – even though she voted for the Iraq War.
