Chip Cantor told his story .... On June 4, he told KMBC he was traveling to Britain to visit and gain summer work experience, and to participate in a fundraiser for a child who has cancer. He left Kansas City on Wednesday, May 29, landed in Britain after 10 p.m. London time and waited in line to go through customs.
....
Chip’s father, Chuck Cantor, said .... the customs agent was very pleasant .... until she saw the Israel stamps in his passport. Then she simply walked away with his passport without speaking a word to him. Chip told his father he estimates she was gone 45 minutes to an hour. He never saw her again.
......
According to the Chronicle, Chip wasn’t allowed to be in sight of his luggage and eventually was put into what he described to his father as a detention cell.
“At some point a woman who was wearing a burka came to the cell to photograph him,” Chuck said. At that point he was fingerprinted as well.
As she was doing this, she said to him, “We’re putting your name and fingerprints and photos into a database. From now on it is going to be very difficult for you to ever travel in the United Kingdom or anywhere in the E.U. It will be up to each individual country to decide if they want to admit you.”
Chuck said Chip kept telling the customs agents he had not committed any crimes or done anything wrong. Eventually another agent came to tell Chip he was being deported.
......
Yeomans, the custom agent, also told Shilling any additional attempts to aid Cantor would be useless and “the little Jew will be on his way back to his rich daddy,” in a matter of hours.

Yeah, my experiences with British officials have always been marked by graciousness and common sense. This does not add up.
Oh thanks, I didn’t know it had already been posted
Jews entering the UK offends muslims.
Buchanan may be part kook, but he sure got it correct when he said Europe was gone.
In all my travels, I have found immigration officials to be unfailingly courteous but I've observed they quickly become testy if they detect someone attempting to pull a fast one.
Five years ago, she went back to England to visit her relatives and attend a college reunion. She had a Canadian passport. The conditions of teaching in Canada, meant she had to be Canadian citizen.
She encountered a Muslim woman officer (by head dress) at Heathrow Airport. The woman asked her how long she would be staying and seemed to be perturbed at the answer. This was nine weeks. She said "why are you staying so long"? My wife explained that between attending a wedding and the college reunion, it would take some considerable time. She mentioned she was British and had the right of residence and the woman officer then slammed the passport down and it almost fell of the desk. My wife noted her cold hostile manner, but thanked her politely. She proceeded on her way.
You did read the part about the woman in the burkha photographing him and telling him he was not welcome in the EU, right?
That sounds like a little than "exclusion."
He isn’t the only one. Bridget Gabriel - from Labannon, said there are over 250 Sharia courts operating in the UK and there are 800 no go zones for the police in Europe. She said this isn’t your parents Europe anymore.
I started going to England as a child, and I can remember coming there from Holland when I was about 17 - I had recent stamps in my passport from Bulgaria and Turkey -and being asked the purpose of my trip and how long - I said something like I wanted to go to Stonehenge and would be in England six weeks - and the customs officer got out a big black book and started looking in it. At that point, my mother came up behind me and asked,”is everything all right?” and made it clear that she was my mother. He shut the book and waved us through.
My point is that they have always been stiff and if you say something idiotic, you can get in trouble. That officer was just minutes away from having me searched, and I would have been in a lot of trouble if he had.
Calm down and read the thread.
Thank you.
Actually its 85 (some of which are illegal and should be shut down). Only five cities in the UK are allowed to have sharia courts and even 85 seems way too many for 5 cities.
Let’s start by saying that in my experience Europeans by and large are somewhere between mildly and very anti-Semitic.
That being said. I’m not sure about this story. My brother-in-law who lives in Ashdod frequently travels to England and France, with an Israeli passport. I have not heard of him having any trouble.
Additionally, about two years ago, my wife traveled to Israel through London. She spent a few days with friends and relatives in London before flying to Israel and she said the customs people at Heathrow could not have been nicer.
Others have said this, but could he have been traveling on a tourist visa? This would not excuse the treatment he detailed, but it would explain him being barred entry.
You did read the part about that being AFTER he had already been detained?
“That sounds like a little than “exclusion.” “
You want to try that in English?
Show me a link to something showing he had a work visa, and I’ll buy the propaganda. Until then, we know his passport shows that he was coming in without a visa, and he said that he was planning to work while he was there - a combination that will get you an exclusion.
The ‘obvious’ missing word compelled by the evidence was “less”, not “more”.
But it’s getting fairly late in the evening in the middle east, isn’t it?
Thanks for the info. 85 is 85 too many. Why do the Brits allow this? I don’t get it!
I probably already told you this but my mother is half English and half Scot - something I’ve always been proud of.
Very frustrating since I’ve always figured that I’ve almost literally got skin in the game.
Yeah I don’t know about the work visa thing, I do know this, so you need a work visa to work for 60 days? If so, he should have had on e if he didn’t have one.
Does lack of a work visa merit being called names and insulted? At the least very unprofessional deserving being fired, and at the most illegal. So England loses wither way, don’t spend your money supporting them.
As we have ‘Beth Din’ jewish civil law, I assume that the Labour Govt felt such a similar muslim civil law (which it is, not a criminal law, contrary to belief in the US) would be OK. And not be abused.........ho hum.
