Donald Trump has come out with some pretty controversial comments in the past but his latest ignorant claims really take the biscuit. Following last week’s mass-shooting in a Californian service centre, the Republican presidential candidate announced that there should be “a total and complete shut down” of Muslims entering the US, sparking international outcry. He then went on to make some outrageous claims about our own nation’s capital: “We have places in London and other places that are so radicalised that police are afraid for their own lives.” You what mate? From here, a hashtag was born and Twitter users hit back with a great big dose of British sarcasm. Because you know, it’s not like we’re one of the most multi-cultural and liberal cities in the world or anything…
