Proudly publishing the names of people kept out of the country; a superb populist move, one for Wade and the tabloids but someone in media may be starting to notice the subtle creep of mind censorship and might put two and two together; surpressing foreign dissent is frighteningly close to doing the same to British journos.

Sounds very political to me..banning shock jock Michael Savage (who would probably get on well with Jacqui)-even though he's fairly odious it looks like an attempt to find somene more right wing than Nu Labor.

(funny-they had no problem allowing an Aussie shock jock -similar to Savage-into London who got himself arrested once at the toilets in Picadilly for winking at a policemen but managed to get the charge dismissed with the intervention of a good friend and Lord)

Banning people because of their views really shows how far Britain has slid under the Blair/Brown government.

As for Fred Phelps..he's almost a Simpson's type character. I think gay groups would love have him in town in his nutty cowboy hat to make fun of.

Story slightly edited deliberately for potential libel removals Veritas!

I'm not so keen on free speech being denied but why let these people into the UK just to incite hatred. Coming to this country should be a privilege and not just a platform and opportunity to spout bile from any side against another.

agreed..it finally dawned on me.
