The wording of that petition is:
"Donald Trump should be allowed to enter the UK in his capacity as head of the US Government, but he should not be invited to make an official State Visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen."
Now, I may be proven wrong somewhere, but the majority of people that I know who either have signed it, or who would be most likely to sign it, have previously ventured forth on the immorality, wrongs and entitlement of the Royal Family. If not staunch republicans then certainly believing the Royals should be trimmed.
Why, many refer to HMQ as a drain on society and an aberration from previous generations based on Empire. And these very same people are concerned for her sensibilities because she may be embarrassed by a state visit from a democratically elected world leader who has accepted her invitation.
Hmmmmm!
I have to agree. It's collective narcissism and it means interpreting something in a way that suits your view: that your group people are better than everyone else's groups of people. Hypocrisy is bad, being a hypocrite smacks of being a dick, and that clearly contravenes Wheaton's Law.
