Did UK ACCUSE him of doing something he didn't do? They just said they didn't want him in their country, that the likes of him were not welcome.

Interesting bloke. Where could I find more about him, or make his acquaintance?

He is just not welcome by the current govt., the Brits need no "reason" to stop him from entering, if his face is not liked by the civil servant who is checking him he may be rejected. Unless........ Oh! You mean there are different rules that apply to different nationalities? I thought we were all equal!

Nor is Martha Stewart, the Russian skin-head murderers (or any kind of murderer from any nationality) and any known terrorists (including GWB). And please don't take this as a defamation of character. Even if I make a big display of this, I am not maligning your character, just stating that we don't want you at home near our kids. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
