Dammit, I had the same point in mind. I'm getting too slow.

Absolutely. Though I believe Wilders should have been allowed in so his fanatacism could have been laughed at by our good-old sardonic humour. Nothing like a bit of irony, eh? Extremist hates extremist…

The Phelps family to preach violence. The Westboro Baptist Church believes homosexuals should be killed. They reguarly protest at the funerals of US servicemen and women killed in action – because, as they say, the deaths are punishment for America's 'lax' attitude to homosexuality. Disgusting people. They have a very amusing spin-off website, though…. http://www.godhatestheworld.com/unitedkingdom/ind...

Having just rejected the Dutch MP Geert Wilders over a film critical of extreme Islam, I'm keen to see whether the government feels this equally insidious "extreme Christianity" is worth banning before it enters the country.

If you do go to Birmingham, make sure you're in Basingstoke before they fuck off home! :-)
