In order to make it known exactly what sorts of people the British just wont be able to mingle well with, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has released a list of 16 people who are banned from entering the UK. Among the joyful bunch are Muslim terrorists, Jewish terrorists, Nazis, KKK leaders, assorted racists, and, the most hated of all, crossing guards. One of the only Americans on the list is a gem by the name of Michael Savage, a man who loves to hate and hates to be a reasonable human being. Another is pastor Fred Phelps, a harbinger of doom in a bolo tie.
Reasons given for the ban vary from person to person. Some folks have a history of violence that can’t be redeemed. Others have never physically hurt a soul, but have the potential to poison the minds of the impressionable. The binding quality of the group appears simply to be that they are all dicks, and the English have their hands full handling the dicks they already have. While every country bans a few people from entering, making the list public conveys a standard that will be a warning to everyone. If there’s one thing the UK won’t tolerate, it’s the intolerant.
