Am I the only one who had a minor fit of the giggles when reading " real name Michael Weiner"?

I'll get my coat, this sort of discussion should be left to people who can keep a straight face.

"Coming to the UK is a privilege that we refuse to extend to those who abuse our standards and values to undermine our way of life.”

I think someone should have a word with the ASA about this blatant spin.

"A spokeswoman for the Home Office said: "As the Home Secretary has already said, he was excluded for engaging in unacceptable behaviour by making comments that might provoke others to serious criminal acts and foster hatred that might lead to inter-community violence."

Oh, ok, that would be fair and reasonable. What then would one like to do about the following blatant provocation .... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8076611.stm

I wonder if the Priory has room for one more, for the following is delusional ..."He told BBC Radio 4's Today he was not "arrogant" or "unwilling to listen" but would "stay on to do the job" before calling a general election.

"I'm the best person to clean up the political system," he added.

Mr Brown said: "I think the cleaning up of the political system is best done by someone who has got a clear idea of what needs to be done - and I have."

Quite why it is accepted and IT tolerated is one of the Great Mysteries of the Artificial Brainwashed World of Real Dumb Humanoids.

Enough is enough is enough already, surely? How about we Play A.N.Other Game with much Better Beta Players?

[laughs down sleeve]

Fantastic name that!

[guffaw]

If we didn't have such spectacularly over-reaching libel laws over here he wouldn't be able to sue.

Paris, as she's less promiscuous than the English courts when it comes to defamation.

I don't care what his views are, but she needs a good suing for some of the rubbish she comes out with!

"If we didn't have such spectacularly over-reaching libel laws over here he wouldn't be able to sue."

I think you mean:

"If we didn't have such a spectacularly over-reaching Home Secretary over here nobody in the UK would even have heard of this a-hole and he wouldn't have this great opportunity for self promotion"

Paris 'cause she's knows how to make something out of nothing too.

Am I the only one hoping that both sides in this disspear?

Is it bollocks

"he was excluded for engaging in unacceptable behaviour by making comments that might provoke others to serious criminal acts and foster hatred that might lead to inter-community violence."

Talk about open-ended. Given the crime statistic studies I've seen, wouldn't voting for expanding more social programs be tantamount to the same thing? Or if fostering hatred through words is a crime, shouldn't all politicians of all stripes be thrown in jail?

If the Home Office had merely published a list of names "Under the authority given to the Home Secretary by the Doofus and George Act 2008, Sec. 413(a)(iii)(alpha), the following individuals are prohibited from entering the United Kingdom:" all would have been well. Sovereign nations have every right to say who's allowed in and who isn't.

But, no, dear Jacqui had to state a reason and *that* is challengeable.

It's somewhat like disinheriting someone in your will. Many lawyers (not all) are of the opinion that it's better not to give a reason for disinheriting someone because then there's no basis for a challenge. "To my daughter, Felitzia, I leave nothing."

(Of course, if the person being disinherited has a statutory right to part of the estate, you're on entirely different territory.)

that both sides are very unlikely to disappear, notwithstanding that most of the country would love to see it.

But there is a certain fascination in watching two thoroughly vile specimens circling round each other and hissing. We'll have to content ourselves with applauding each hit and praying for maximum damage all round.

A nice sideshow to watch while Western civilisation falls apart.

Right on the money. Now he's going to be milking it, and probably won't go away for a good while.

Just goes to show that two wrongs don't make a right...

Sue UK Gov? Michael Weiner? (F'narr F'narr). He won't get a sausage. Not even a small one...snick, snick.

Gone already. Keyboard bill in the post.

should that not be Whiner, not weiner?

I know his brother, Richard.

Snigger!

Might I direct your attention to the Streisand Effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect). You've just given this guy an all-mighty shitstorm of publicity and media attention. Yes, we know he's a bigot and an arsehole but the basic premise of free speech is that in order to have any meaning at all it must be an absolute and inviolate right of every individual whether you like their opinions or not.

And so Ms Wacky I conclude with a big Fuck You, you are the cancer that is killing /b/ritain. Please do us a favour commit a serious act of an heroism.

Paris, cos she knows all about undue media attention.

In certain jurisdictions threatening to sue and not actually doing so within a given period is in itself illegal since it's a form of harassment. Foot, meet bullet.

Does this make him a little sewer?
