Lot of people get kept out including people who are radical Islamics if they actually have proof they are that and are going to cause problems beyond race (although I'd bet on there also being cases of people turned away based on profiling not them doing anything radical). They just don't announce it every-time they don't let someone have a visa and most of the people coming through aren't posting videos of their shit online and bragging about it for all to see.Topsider said:It sure would be nice if the British government started using that power to refuse entry on, say, radical Islamists.DementedSheep said:Since it keeps popping up.
"Grounds on which entry clearance or leave to enter the United Kingdom should normally be refused
[?]
(19) The immigration officer deems the exclusion of the person from the United Kingdom to be conducive to the public good. For example, because the person's conduct (including convictions which do not fall within paragraph 320(2)), character, associations, or other reasons, make it undesirable to grant them leave to enter."

This isn't unique to the UK either. They always put in something to allow them to stop people getting into the country when they don't want them there but they don't fall into a category where there is already a hard line rule about it. It's not common for them to refuse entry based on this in the UK or in most countries.
But I guess it's more important to keep Snoop Dogg and pick-up artists out. Gotta make sure nobody gets high or has sex, but getting stabbed in the street? Hey, you buys your ticket, you takes your chances.
Funny how this all of a sudden becomes issue we need to talk about when this guy gets kept out. This isn't making sure nobody has sex. He sexually assaults women by targeting those he thinks are too timid to press charges or in places he doesn't think he going charged (because despite how some like paint it you can't just cry sexual assault and get a guy jailed in two seconds every-time) and then he leaves the country if people do make motions to charge him. He gets money teaching other people how to get away with sexual assault and abuse.
If you want defend the guy, fucking defend the guy. Don't hide behind fake outrage at "Islamic extremists". If that's actually your problem then rail against them getting through without derailing a topic about something else.
