International Law

Dutch MP banned from entering UK

By John Hirst

Let me get this straight, the House of Lords has invited this man into the country to appear before the House of Lords but the government has prevented him from entering the country?

A Home Office spokesman told The Daily Telegraph: "The Government opposes extremism in all its forms.

"It will stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country.

"That was the driving force behind tighter rules on exclusions for unacceptable behaviour that the Home Secretary announced on in October last year".

And yet, no restriction was placed upon George W. Bush. And, what about China bullying in Tibet and allowing, under extreme security, the Olympic Torch to proceed through Britain? I seem to recall no such restriction was placed on the holocaust denier entering Britain to speak at Oxford University.
