Strange that leaders of the Westboro Baptist Church have been banned from entering the UK. Loathsome (and nutty) as they are, I don’t remember ever reading about Westboro members physically assaulting anyone or calling for their death.

Rather, they seem to much prefer offending people by picketing US soldier’s funerals with banners claiming that American deaths are god’s punishment for tolerating homosexuality. Or worse, by releasing song parodies on YouTube.

But in the UK, where people can march down the street carrying banners supporting terrorist organizations like Hamas, where they can throw bollards at police and shout “wipe out Israel,” you would think there would be room for a small bunch of nutjobs waving placards reading: “God Hates Fags.”
