You mean our friends across the pond didn't want this "Made in the USA" export? Particularly the part where Shirley Phelps-Roper offers up the naked posteriors of the Topeka, Kansas-based religious right extremists. (BBC):

    A father and daughter from a US church which preaches hatred of homosexuals have been banned from entering the UK. Fred Phelps and his daughter Shirley Phelps-Roper from the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) had urged protests against a play being put on in Hampshire.

    Queen Mary's College in Basingstoke is staging The Laramie Project, a play about a man killed for being gay.

Good, looks like our Government is getting things right at last and getting tough on those promoting hatred.

Last week they stopped Geert Wilders from coming and promoting Islamophobia and Farrakhan has been banned in the past.

I thought that most EU nations had strict laws about hate speech.  Maybe it was never codified?

They won't let them in because they're afraid we wouldn't take them back!
