Galloway Banned from Canada. Rejoice, Rejoice

Supporting the banning of democractically elected politicians (both GG and Hamas)

So, you don't think that a country has the right to restrict who does and does not come into the country? Or, maybe, other countries can only restrict those that you agree with?

Here's a simple question for you -> do you think that GG would be banned if he hadn't given those supplies to the Hamas?

I'm not at all sure you understand the word "think" to mean what I take it to mean.

Still, here's hoping he deals with the mendacious canadian chickenhawks and warmongers as effectively as .

He's still a pain in the arse mind. Just not a terrorist type pain in the arse. I'd fucking ban him from his constituency 30 metres from me on the grounds of him being a pain in the arse ... if I could

Can't they let him in... and not let him out again...

Oh, Jonti - you wound me

Of course I care about what you say. I just have lousy internet connection and a computer that keeps crashing. I was just asking for some information or clarification.

Well Georgie is the news again - still trying to get into Canada.

Supporters of British politician George Galloway plan to urge the Federal Court on Monday to overturn Canada's entry ban on the outspoken MP.

An alliance of peace groups, backed by free-speech advocates, maintain the ban, on the basis that Galloway supported terrorism, was uncalled for and unconstitutional.

British MP George Galloway is welcomed after his arrival in Gaza at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt on Jan. 6, 2010. Two days later, Egypt declared Galloway persona non grata and deported him.British MP George Galloway is welcomed after his arrival in Gaza at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt on Jan. 6, 2010. Two days later, Egypt declared Galloway persona non grata and deported him. "All of the evidence shows there was no reason whatever to bar George from the country," Galloway's spokesman, Ron McKay, told The Canadian Press from the U.K. on the weekend. "I just don't think any reasonable person looking at the evidence could conclude against George."

Galloway was to make a four-city speaking tour in March 2009 but Canadian immigration officials declared him inadmissible.

Galloway ended up delivering his speeches to Canadian audiences from a studio in New York after his supporters failed to get an emergency injunction to suspend the ban.

At the time, Federal Court Judge Luc Martineau said he wasn't satisfied that the necessary conditions had been met to issue an emergency injunction.

One of the conditions is called "irreparable harm" — in this case, whether or not the rights of Canadians will be infringed if they don't get a chance to hear Galloway.

"The judge argued because Mr. Galloway is going to broadcast speeches into the cities that Canadians can hear him that way," James Clark, a peace activist with Stop the War and one of the organizers of Galloway's speaking tour, told CBC News then.

However, the Federal Court did decide that the case was worthy of a full hearing.

Galloway, who denied supporting terrorism, has already called the decision by Federal Court to review the ban a "substantial" victory.

McKay said Galloway would certainly visit Canada if the ban were overturned.

"As soon as possible after that, assuming it goes our way, a tour will be arranged," McKay said.

I hate Hamas (along with other fash groups such as the BNP and similar) and I hate Galloway for being an apologist and a cheerleader for fash groups.

If Hamas are a dogs arse then Galloway is the turd that emanates from it.

do you hate the Israeli loons who murder children too?
