As someone already pointed out, these people can say whatever they want, they just can't do it in the UK.
How about those that already reside inside your borders? Scary, indeed.

Amy Crackhouse is a convicted felon, other then being stupid what felonies have the banned form UK list committed? I'm afraid if I write what I really feel, I'll be suspended for a few days. Suffice it to say, civil liberties are eroding very, very quickly in England. Good luck with that one.

I mean the Dutch dude wasn't even allowed to show his film, due to absurd pc nonsense and BMI airlines doesn't show Israel on their maps when flying to the Middle East. Big Brother and the thought police are running your country and many of you aren't even aware of it.

And you should really think before posting this verbal diarrhea, you really need to pay attention.

Subject not citizen. Big difference.

The U.K. is just a laughingstock anyways these days. From appeasement of muslim extremists to banning sharp objects to cameras watching everyone to...long list, enough said.

There are laws in the UK against encouraging hatred, racism, etc. It's called "incitement to racial hatred" and I know the definition of racism often includes hatred of a nation or nationality. It's not a "felony" because that word is not used in UK law but it is a crime and the UK is not the only country to implement it.

Incitement to ethnic or racial hatred - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have find articles on the BBC where persons have been jailed and..
Warned they would be given prison sentences for using slurs.
Some of the charges are due to being critical of Islam.
Islam is not a race or specific ethnic group.

Well, that's going a bit off topic, it doesn't really have to do with these people being banned from entering the UK. And it's difficult to comment when I don't know further details - if you can show us some of the articles, I could comment on them.
