Wow. What a collection of people who actually think that they know something, yet most of the comments evince nothing but a blanket hatred for a particular religion.
What does any of this have to do with the Brits deciding to ban this woman from the country? She apparently was let in once before and did not meet behavioral standards and she does not appear to have anything to offer to British society except for inciting animosities between its members. Who needs that?
Switching topic: no one "tolerates" or defends child rape, and certainly not me. This is BS of the lowest order and is an unwarranted personal attack. No one knows who is going to commit a crime until they do so. What the British government decides to do with the ones of these rapist clowns who are not British citizens, once they finish their prison sentences, is unknown. I know nothing about Britain's deportation policies.
It's been a while since I've been over there, but even before the terrorism thing started they gave you a good look-see when you arrived at Heathrow as a tourist. It's the only place that I have ever been subject to full pat-down searches, hands in the air, by white-gloved police, even before boarding a flight out of the country to Dublin.
I don't know how the British vetting process for immigrants works so I cannot offer any advice on how it could be improved. I'm sure the British are smart enough to flag anyone who raises suspicion. Even though Britain has its share of yahoos, like the morons from Liverpool who wrecked the coach carrying the Manchester City football team yesterday, their officials appear to be organized and efficient, though now a bit overwhelmed, given the rising crime in London and other cities.
So.. basically you decided to troll a thread. I mean you freely admit to knowing virtually nothing about the topic. Your forte seems to be pointing a finger at supposed hate.
So it is now "trolling" to speak in opposition to nonsense.
I admitted to knowing nothing about the British system for vetting immigrants and tourists. But you don't, either. If there is something wrong with the British system, say what it is.
The people who have been banned from Britain are people who have a record of attempts to incite racial and religious hatred and unrest on British streets and no record of achievement. Why tolerate them, seriously? They don't seem to have any redeeming qualities. After all, how many people want to prevent the rescue of people who are drowning as they want to do? Sorry. I grew up with religion and ethics and a civilized culture.
Obviously, since this grooming/rape scandal broke, the British police have responded and those involved arrested. Their mugshots would not be on the front page, otherwise. This is one of the great things that have arisen from "Me, Too." Now victims feel free to speak out about their experiences and the police make arrests. This is how this should be handled.
Moreover, British law enforcement has many other crimes on its plate; not only combating terrorism, but murders, rapes, robberies, and burglaries. Why give them any more to cope with? The Brits have every right to keep out hoodlum instigators.
Whoever wrote that the "UK has a new state religion" is a total asshole.
