UK court reverses Home Office's ban on Geert Wilders

In Febuary of 2009 the UK Home Office, at the time under Jacqie Smith, banned Geert Wilders from entering the UK to screen his short film Fitna. The Home Office stated that Geert Wilders poised a threat to social harmony. Lord Ahmed, Britain's only muslim Lord, threated 10,000 angry muslims in front of parliament if Geert Wilders was allowed to screen Fitna.

Finally justice has prevailed. A UK court has overturned the Home Office's entry ban for Geert Wilders. Now Britain needs to reverse the reverse the entry ban on Michael Savage. BBC

Far-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders has won an appeal against a Home Office decision barring his entry to the UK.

The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal ruling overturns a government decision that led to Mr Wilder being turned back at Heathrow in February.

The Freedom Party leader, who has been accused of Islamophobia, planned a UK visit next week, his solicitor said.

The Home Office said it was disappointed, and would decide in "due course" whether to fight the ruling.

A spokesman said: "We are disappointed by the court's decision. The government opposes extremism in all its forms.
HA! Just weeks after banning Geert Wilders, a Hizbollah spokesman was allowed to enter the UK.
