he has been denied entry.:frown:

He certainly has his flaws I am not denying that but people
should listen to the man, take away the personal opinions of
him listen then make your mind up.There are plenty of truths
in what he says belive it or not

Think for a minute and imagine if your home land had been
sliced up and your family subjected to years of suffering,poverty
etc, we all in can sit in our nice wee houses with our nice wee car
outside and sod the rest of the world and some disgusting reality.

For me im beginning to rant like George but I am more peeved that
Canada refused him entry considering he is a British MP.
Can you imagine the British goverment refusing a Canadian MP entry.

BTW, right on.

It never stopped the House of Lords, especially the one the one who recently got an already piss-poor sentence reduced so he could help his community.

Why should being a British MP give you automatic rights of entry to any country?

An interesting defence from GG in the Guardian today
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...alloway-canada
Are Canadian Politicians really so duplicitous,
dont get me wrong I have no time for GG or his politics, but Kenney puts him in the shade.
There is a really good book called The Great Game which illustrates the futility of the current campaign in Afghanistan, no military force has ever succeeded here. Famous words from someone I cannot remember 'Hearts and Minds' bring success, enabling not force.

On one level being banned by such a man is like being told to sit up straight by the hunchback of Notre Dame
He does have a way with words!:D

I liked the next bit, On another, for a Scotsman to be excluded from Canada is like being turned away from the family home

Canada isn't the ancestral home of Scots, though Scotland is the ancestral home of some Canadians. I think he got it backwards.

Thank You Novo for pointing this out to all well meaning people on this forum.
And also - George Bush and Tony Blair have much more BLOODon their hands than Saddam Hussein or Hamas.
