BBC: WBC banned from entering the UK
Further to my post yesterday that contained the news about homophobic christian wingnuts from Westboro Baptish Church planning to protest a performance of The Laramie Project at a college in Basingstoke, the BBC reports that the UK Border Agency has banned the group from entering the country.
The UK Border Agency said it opposed “extremism in all its forms”.
A spokesman added: “Both these individuals have engaged in unacceptable behaviour by inciting hatred against a number of communities.
“We will continue to stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country.
“The exclusions policy is targeted at all those who seek to stir up tension and provoke others to violence regardless of their origins and beliefs.”
Phelps-Roper is reported to have described the UK government as “filthy” for not letting them in to spread their retarded hate diatribes. I’m sure Brown et al are shitting themselves.

good to see the UK border agency has some common sense and decency. those WBC wingnuts have been saying some nasty things about the fires in Australia and wont to ruin the mourning service. hopefully our administration will tell them to f' off.
Well at least it shows the Border Agency has some purpose…
Meow! ;-)
