Zombiehellmonkey,

RESPECT is an important social agenda in the UK today.

When you make insults for the fun of it, you show disrespect. In turn, people disrespect you for good reasons too.

Thanks Edwina, I was making a point about free speech... likewise the House of Lords, I'm sure, would kick out any person using offensive words too, and I don't think that would be a reflection on democracy.

Pardon the example Smile

I have studied the profile of Greet Wilder, and I now understand much better that he is a grandstander who likes the limelight, and I was way off mark.

You have much better insight than I, Edwina.
Thanks for always responding courteously, no matter how wrong-headed I was being.

And Xue-ping, you are an amazing combination of beauty and brains !

There is freedom of speech and there is stirring up hatred. I think we have enough problems with our own hatemongers without allowing others in.

Anyway, Mr Wilders is in good company as Snoop Dog, Martha Stewart, Louis Farrakhan and most recently, Fred Phelps have also been refused entry to the UK.
