Phelps being refused entry to the UK

[Nyshana]

I did look around, and I don't think anyone's posted this yet... apologies if I just missed it :o

Fred and Shirley Phelps were planning to come to the UK to picket a theatre showing a play about a man who is murdered for being gay - until the home secretary banned them from entering the country. The government found its common sense gland behind the minibar!

Sadly, he will not be banned from Buffalo Sunday. Also sadly, I have family plans and will be unable to help with the countermeasures to keep them from bothering mourning families.

Aw, come on, let the Phelpses into England, please! And then you can keep them there! ;)

Why would the Phelps family protest a plane crash? That makes no sense.

According to the Phelps' every bad thing that happens in America is punishment from God for not burning all the gay people at the stake.

It makes as much sense as blaming dead soldiers.

They're grief hounds, hoping to piss off a grieving family enough that they'll lash out so they can be sued. How else can the Phelps clan make money when they're full-time protestors?

[Petrese]

Wait, were you under the impression that Anything they did makes sense? LOL

You hit the nail on the head, alecto! That's is exactly what this idiot and his daughter hope to do. They are rabid, hateful opportunists who crave media attention and will do whatever it takes to gather as much attention as possible. I hope all of Europe bans him and I hope that some insane person burns him at the stake. Those of us who are sane will just have to put up with his utter nonsense.:mad:

I've always wondered what god (I use the small g on purpose) this guy believes in. Our college put on The Laramie Project and Phelp's church was to have protesters. No one showed from his hate filled church, but 300 people showed up to support diversity in my community. Something good can come out of bad.

....I hope that some insane person burns him at the stake.

Oh my God! That's a terrible idea!! An insane person would never get it right. He'd just wander off talking to himself.

An angry mob would be much better.
