Two prominent US bloggers have been banned from entering the UK, the Home Office has said.

Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer co-founded anti-Muslim group Stop Islamization of America.

They were due to speak at an English Defence League march in Woolwich, where Drummer Lee Rigby was killed.

A government spokesman said individuals whose presence "is not conducive to the public good" could be excluded by the home secretary.

He added: "We condemn all those whose behaviours and views run counter to our shared values and will not stand for extremism in any form."

" In a striking blow against freedom, the British government has banned us from entering the country. Muhammad al-Arifi, who has advocated Jew-hatred, wife-beating, and jihad violence, entered the U.K. recently with no difficulty."

The Brits are blinded to the truth or are afraid—much to their peril...doesn’t seem like it will be much longer for America.

Very soon the British government will bar Nigel Farage from entering the country.

Umm...this is now out of control.

Britain is now a worse police state then Russia....was.

We have reciprocal entry/exit regimes with them. They are not honoring them.

Time to start excluding objectionable “brits” from the U.S.

Extremism?
People who write about the jihadis and their murdering ways are NOT extremists.
Jihadis ARE.

Well, if the British want to ban two Americans from entering the U.K., can we respond in kind by shipping two Britons back to the U.K., namely, Piers Morgan and Martin Bashir?

“We condemn all those whose behaviours and views run counter to our shared values and will not stand for extremism in any form”.

That pretty well takes care of any freedom of speech, religion or assembly in the UK. We are pretty much in the same situation here now. Anything counter to progressive shared values is punished in one way or another from the IRS to Homeland Security surveillance.

The brits are just in the mess a few feet deeper than we are.

Wait til something happens and it’s discovered we didn’t prevent it because the feds didn’t bug or infiltrate the guys mosque.

Except, of course, the kind that comes from Muzzies.
