The UK isn't stupid, they don't want America's trash..

Check out the names...you might recognize one or two.

The BBC reported today that five American right-wing extremists were among 16 individuals banned from entering the United Kingdom since last October for reasons of “fostering extremism or hatred.”

According to a new report from the Home Office (the lead U.K. government department for immigration and passports), the six Americans and the reasons they were not allowed into the U.K. were:

• Stephen Donald Black, a.k.a. Don Black, former Alabama Klan leader and creator of the white nationalist online forum Stormfront, banned for “promoting serious criminal activity and fostering hatred that might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.”

• Erich Gliebe, chairman of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, for “engaging in unacceptable behaviour by justifying terrorist violence, provoking others to commit serious crime and fostering racial hatred.”

• Fred Phelps, Sr., and Shirley Phelps Roper, leaders of the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church, for “picket[ing] the funerals of Aids victims and [claiming] the deaths of American soldiers are a punishment for US tolerance of homosexuality.”

• Michael Alan Weiner, a.k.a. Michael Savage, right-wing talk radio host, for “seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred.” The Home Office also noted that Savage’s “views on immigration Islam, rape and autism have caused great offence in the US.”

I think the UK has more to worry about then banning people like...
Michael Savage,Snoop,Martha Stewart (all have been banned)
Maybe they should focus on deporting the Terrorist's inside their border.

England is epic fail. Ugly people, monolithic architecture, terrible food, virtually no wine, depressing weather.

No wonder many fled to America

Because it banned bigots and hate mongers from the US?
I applaud them.

Are you a staunch supporter of these fools?

Clearly some do not grasp the concept of FREE SPEECH.
Its not about protecting the speech of people i like/support.
But allowing all views to be heard,like them or not.
I will not agree with the UK bashing but will see its sad to see..
All the PC-Madness,Big Brother/Nanny state going on in the UK.
