http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/4640967/Westboro-Baptist-Church-announces-first-anti-homosexuality-picket-in-Britain.htmlFollowers of the virulently anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church have threatened to picket a sixth form college in Basingstoke, Hampshire during a staging of The Laramie Project, a play about an American youth murdered because of his sexuality.
The church from Topeka, Kansas is mainly composed of relatives of the founder, pastor Fred Phelps, who style themselves "the most hated family in America".
Their core belief ? that God will punish the West for its acceptance of homosexuality ? has seen them protest at dozens of servicemen's funerals brandishing garish placards stating "God hates the USA" and "Thank God for dead soldiers".
Details of the church's first picket in Britain was posted on their website with the slogan "God Hates England; Your Queen Is A W----".
"Some of the best Bible preaching in the history of the world came out of that dark dismal land, but now it is full of all abominations," the notice read.
"God will shortly destroy the UK and the world, but not until they have got the plain, clear message so that they will be without excuse."
So, should these twisted repulsive cunts be allowed entry into the country? If we (or rather, the government) sees fit to stop those inciting hatred from entering the country, such as the Muslim-hating twat the other day, then this bunch of oxygen thieves should also be sent back.
And if they are allowed into the country, then it is certainly time for direct action. I for one would gladly join in.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

Although I think it would be for their own safety they stay stateside.
I agree. However, I am more interested in what that witch, Jaqui Smith, has to say about it. I presume that she believes free speech on religion is not allowed, whereas homophobic rantings are.
If they're allowed in, I for one endorse any campaign against them.
Just make sure they're greeted by a bombardment of gay porn with Fred Phelps' face on it. I'm sure Teagan can help us out there.
But if the Home Office ban them, its just going to give them even more publicty. Then they have achieved what they wanted- publicty.
Jaqui Smith should let them in with the minimum of fuss, thus avoiding giving them any publicty, they will then get their heads kicked for their piss poor behaviour then stuck on a plane back to Backwardsville or wherever they are from.
Sorted :thumb:
Oh, to clarify, I'm not ASKING them to be banned. I was just stating that I wonder if Jaqui Smith will apply the same 'principles' that she applied to the Geert Wilders visit. Neither Wilders or the Phelp's should be banned.
Like this one?
It's fucking worrying how quickly people are ready to try and ban something they disagree with or find offensive. I couldn't care less how offensive people find something. Stop interfering with my right to be exposed to it.
Of course, that doesn't stop other people being free to criticise and/or troll them. I don't think it will too difficult to organise an anti-westboro-baptist-church rally wherever they're going to meet.
Also (only just actually read the article) who on earth pickets 17/18 year olds?!
It is my view that in such cases "freedom of speech" should take second place, and that imposing such restrictions on a very limited number of cases does not affect the freedom of speech of the immense majority of the population, and frankly those who are affected can go fuck themselves.
Incitring homophobic hatred should be treated in the same way. Given that that family of scumbags are well known to incite homophobic hatred, they should not be let in the country.
If they are, the police should at least have the decency to stand aside so people can kick seven shades of shit out of the cunts.
The new powers to ban photographs might yet work in our favour.
OK, vigilante justice and curtailing fundamental freedoms in one post. What a treat.
Chomsky sums it upper better than I ever could: 'If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.'
The same people who picket military funerals...
Arseholes.
I think that's going in my sig.
Fuck 'em.
Section.5 Public Order act doesn't just cover abusive words, it's anything said or displayed that causes harassment/alarm/distress to another person.
There are defences e.t.c. but I can't see what these guys would use.
Inciting homophobic hatred ?
If what you say is correct, the only hatred that is being incited is against themselves. Yet you are getting your knickers in a twist and advocating violence.Perhaps it is you that is inciting hatred ?
i can't stand religious bigots, its makes it worse because they are using something that many regard as sacred in order to incite hatred.
For anyone who is interested there used to be (still are?) some great videos on Youtube of WBC people here in the US barely making it out with their lives at a few rallies.
ya got to admire the balls on those folks. Picketing a military funeral in the American South East with signs reading "You soldier was a faggot!" is a good way to get yourself shot.

Though perhaps we should have let them in, then have them arrested, prosecuted and thrown into a cell to the maximum extent of the law.
