Geert Wilders to be Banned from Britain?

Today, we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that, contrary to the belief of millions in the Third World and Britain, we actually do have some immigration laws after all.

Sadly, it doesn't quite make up for the bad news; Geert Wilders has been asked not to come to the UK to screen Fitna on Thursday, due to 'internal security concerns'. Here is a link to the actual letter sent from the 'UK Border Agency' to Mr Wilders, courtesy of Gates of Vienna.

It's a shame we never had those security concerns when the government invited hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants against the will of the public...

But in any case, Mr Wilders says he will still come. Will the authorities have the gall to arrest him at the airport? That will undoubtedly delight many European Muslims and leftists, but it will also draw worldwide attention to Mr Wilders, his cause, and just how weak and feeble the British government has become, as well as making us an international laughing stock.

What also amuses and infuriates me is the government generally pleads impotence on all EU related matters; suddenly they have the confidence to talk of barring or arresting an elected MP from another EU nation, despite the protests of that nation's government. If I was a cynic, I'd find that a little suspicious.

If you are against this purely political, cowardly act, I would respectfully urge you to do any or all of the following:

You can write to Irving Jones, the flunky who sent the letter to Mr Wilders on behalf of the Secretary of State, at:

UK Border Agency,
Border Control CSU,
2nd Floor, Green Park House,
Wellesley Road,
Croydon,
CRO 2AJ
[UNITED KINGDOM]

You can write to Foreign Secretary David Miliband, the minister behind this decision, at:

The Rt. Hon. David Miliband MP
Ede House
143 Westoe Road
South Shields

or

The Rt. Hon. David Miliband MP
Foreign & Commonwealth Office

If enough people protest, it might give them an idea of the strength of feeling over this, and they might prevent the British people and nation being embarrassed even further than they have been already.

For once in my life, I find myself crossing my fingers that someone will invoke the protection of the ubiquitous European Human Rights Act. However, as Mr Wilders is not a convicted criminal, an illegal immigrant or an Imam, I don't hold out much hope for his cause.

Perhaps he should compromise and agree to stick to actions which are slightly less controversial whilst here, like attacking the police or screaming for the next Holocaust. It works for some people.

***UPDATE***
It seems Home Secretary Jacqui Smith had a role to play in this decision. It's best that foreign nationals write to Mr Miliband, as he is the representative of Her Majesty's Government abroad, but if you would like to write to Ms. Smith her address is:

The Rt. Hon. Jacqui Smith MP
Home Office
Direct Communications Unit
