Anti-Muslim Bloggers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer Banned from Entering the UK
Text of letter from Home Office to Pamela Geller (Robert Spencer received a similar letter):
The poisonous duo
Dear Ms. Geller
I am writing to inform you about the British government’s measures for excluding or deporting extremists under the Unacceptable Behaviour policy. The list of unacceptable behaviours covers any non-UK national whether in the UK or abroad who uses any means or medium including:
- writing, producing, publishing or distributing material,
- public speaking including preaching
- running a website
- using a position of responsibility such as a teacher, community or youth leader
to express views that:
- foment or justify terrorist violence in furtherance of particular beliegs,
- seek to provoke others to terrorist acts,
- foment other serious criminal activity or seek to provoke others to serious criminal acts,
- foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.
The list is indicative and not exhaustive.
The Home Secretary has considered whether, in light of this list, you should be excluded from the UK. After careful consideration on 25 June 2013 she personally directed that you should be excluded from the United Kingdom on the grounds that your presence here is not conducive to the public good. The Home Secretary has reached this decision because you have brought yourself within the scope of the list of unacceptable behaviours by making statements that may foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.
