DSPUK Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 This is part of report on my home page about the American Pastor banned from UK-- all this guy has done is threaten to burn a book. A Home Office spokesman said: "The Government opposes extremism in all its forms which is why we have excluded Pastor Terry Jones from the UK. Coming to the UK is a privilege, not a right, and we are not willing to allow entry to those whose presence is not conducive to the public good." If coming here is a privalege not a right - how come we seem to be inundated with people who are not conductive to the Public Good - I can name a preacher with a hook who is not conductive to Public good -- I am getting tired of these double standards by our govern- sorry dictatorship. Sensible answers please dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I fully applaud us not letting the odd US citizen in, after all they turn people from here down all the time. On a more sensible note he would just cause trouble and protests and us the good old uk taxpayer will pay to police them so really we're far better off without him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death from below Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) We should ban Obama from entering our great country - the surrender monkey loving garlic fancier that he is - I don't mind most other Yanky doodle dandies - just like the Aussies, they're all offsprings of our criminal/religious past.

death from below Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 It is strange isn't it - write a book ful of facts and no one gives a monkey's butt if it's burnt - write some knocked together bunch of fairy tales and millions go crazy if it's frazzled.

guest1957 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I suspect it is nothing to do with the 'book burning', more that the Police/Govt. don't want to deal with another EDL v UAF march... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerH Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 It seems nowadays that when religion is criticised then freedom of speech goes out of the window... Effectively it is illegal to offend a religious person. *** is western society coming to? Lunatics in charge of the asylum springs to mind. I could go on but I might offend someone and get the thread pulled... Life is too short.Unless you are religious that is.

FalconFN Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 It's not illegal to offend anyone, it's illegal to incite hatred/violence - there is a difference. But letting someone into the country that has burned a holy book (a violent and hate-filled act if you're a muslim) just to provoke outrage is pointless as no one comes out of it well. As far as I can tell he's a publicity seeking egomaniac without any constructive argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I am not against his banning at all. Religious extremists of all shades are the most bigoted people in the world. Religion should not be sacrosanct. Free speech should. That is all I am saying my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 yep, you missed something. Remember when all those whiners and nay sayers were just a barely audible drone off in the distance somewhere? Well some doofii thought it might be a good idea to vote them in to govern the country.

jacksdad Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 The very same, who after years of taking the **** was indeed finally locked up. But our nice government has kindly allowed him to keep his UK citizenship so when he gets let out on parole he will be free to return to his benefit funded old ways He should have been deported to the USA, they would deal with him in a much fairer way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
