Preston Wiginton, a close associate of BNP leader Nick Griffin was refused entry into the UK, in case he stirred up racial tension.

What is this country coming to when they can refuse entry to an American citizen, who wishes to attend a private family function, a function that he attended last year with no problems?

This function takes place each year and it is the BNPs annual family summer party that takes place in Codnor, Derbyshire.

I heard on the radio this morning that the Far Left had organised a number of coaches, to take activists along to this venue, with the sole intention of causing trouble, is this acceptable?

The Telegraph reported:

A Home Office spokesman said: "The Government opposes extremism in all its forms and we will prevent those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country."

Is this the same Government who regularly allows it's own home grown extremists and others, to spread hatred and violent messages on our very streets?

Is this the same Government who is also considering releasing back to his own country, a convicted mass murderer of 270 people?

Maybe the union red white and blue flag should be changed to something like the following:

Why the flag of Malaysia rov?

[rov1200]

Its the only one that is red, white and blue and has the crescent shape on it denoting a Muslim state. As you can see Malaysia is 60% Muslim. Fast forward in the UK this ratio should be reached within about 2 or 3 generations. Maybe we can adjust our flag to take notice of this.

I have a serious issue with banning entry to someone on the basis what he 'might' do or say - that sounds seriously '1984' to me.

andy, if we were to proposing to lock him up or execute him on the basis of something he might do or say , that would be 1984ish and we'd all have a problem with it.

As it is we're just saying, 'we don't like you - you're not welcome here', which we shouldn't feel guilty about doing.
It just means the man can't go to a party.
No-one has a human right of free access to anywhere on the planet. The access is granted at the discretion of the relevant government or landowner.

You're probably thinking, fair enough, but who gets to decide who the people that we don't like are? That's just another thing the government has to do on our behalf, and we have to trust they're doing a reasonable job, but there will always be diagreement on individual decisions.

I've never heard of this bloke by the way. I'm assuming he's fairly obnoxious.

Seems typical knee jerk leftyism to me. As has been pointed out this same Government allows vile hatred and death threats to be peddled on our streets but cant let someone attend a private party. What a joke labour are.

And lets not forget that it is labour policies that have fed the rise in the BNP. Thinking about it thats probably why they did it - pettty spitfull ness just about all labour are good for.

Let's shut the door on this odiuos man. Attitudes to race have improved dramatically since the 70's, so why invite someone like him into the country to spread his filth around?

If Louis Farrakhan's ban stays in place, then why should we allow this trouble maker in?

You can't trust these people. They're dangerous and few people have the guts to stand up to them.

Brava Labour...brava!

[anotheoldgit]

Ban all those that don't fit in with the Government's agenda, sounds like the beginnings to a totalitarian state.

I don't know about Brava Labour...brava!

I say, 'Bah Labour...Bah!!!!!

[sp1814]

AOG

Would you agree that Louis Farrakhan's ban should be lifted???

Surely not!
