And I for one am very glad that they are. We have quite enough problem people of our own, without importing any from other countries.
But this list is too short.
Ban Avigdor Lieberman and the members of his revolting party, just as we banned Meir Kahane when he was alive.
Ban the signatories to the Project for the New American Century, and the Patrons of the Henry Jackson Society (it seems, in that spirit, that Durham County Council is blocking access to Harry’s Place).
Ban those American and other ecclesiastics who have expressed racist views about Africans and others who do not share their liberal sexual morality.
And ban Hans Küng, whose disparagement of the late Pope John Paul II’s Polishness made and make them the authentic voice of the age-old Teutonic racism against the Slavs; Küng only gets away with it because he is Swiss.
Just for a start.
Neither the neocons, nor the liberal-racists, nor Küng really matter any more. But that is not the point. They could still do damage, and we do not want them here. Like the Islamists and like Yisrael Beitenu, let them be excluded from the United Kingdom.
Their presence would most certainly not be, and periodically is not, conducive to the public good.

I think the list is short because it only contains people who have attempted to enter the UK - there are plenty of unpleasant people around the world who we would not wish to come here, but if they've never tried to do so the point is moot.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Lieberman, but the neocons, the liberal-racists and Küng have all been here. Many, many times, in fact.
ReplyDeleteHarry's Place is blocked for me too. What's going on?
ReplyDeleteCan we expect deportations in the near future?
ReplyDeleteActually, it's a bit of a nuissance. I'd wanted to post my stuff on Georgia over there.
"I don't know about Lieberman, but the neocons, the liberal-racists and Küng have all been here. Many, many times, in fact."
ReplyDeleteYes, but the list only covers the five months up to March 2009.
Several of them will have been here in that time. Several of them are here quite a lot of the time.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, let's be proactive.
Some of them are UK citizens.
ReplyDeleteNot of the people I listed. Almost all of the Signatories to the Henry Jackson Society are, of course. But the Patrons are all foreign, mostly American with the odd German or Mongolian thrown in.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure you can pin the promotion of hatred, terrorist violence or serious criminal activity on any of them - certainly not to a legal threshold.
ReplyDeleteThe Home Secretary doesn't have to justify these decisions. Perhaps she should have to. But she doesn't.
ReplyDeleteAnd these people are at least as bad as others who have rightly been banned in the past - David Duke, Louis Farrakhan, Geert Wilders, &c.
I'm based in Cambridge and can't access Harry's Place - can't find an explanation online. Anyone else know anything about this?
ReplyDeleteI can't access Harry's Place either.
ReplyDeleteAccording to David T of Harry's Place there's 'some glitch in the server'.
ReplyDeleteI'm told by Habibi that they're having tech issues over which they have no control.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of the Project for A New American Century but who/what is the Henry Jackson Society? Is this in reference to the dead Senator from Washington State?
ReplyDeleteI am still just getting a blank screen for HP.
ReplyDeleteOn the HJS, yes, they have named themselves after Scoop:
