English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson flew in to John F. Kennedy airport in New York tonight. He planned to attend the demonstration against the Ground Zero mosque on September 11th, along with fellow members of the EDL and other European sympathizers who have come to the USA for the occasion.
According to EDL members who accompanied Mr. Robinson to New York, he was met by two policemen (or possibly two TSA officers) as soon as he stepped off the plane. They took him into custody and almost immediately put him on a plane back to London.
It’s like when Geert Wilders was sent back to the Netherlands from Heathrow, only a much longer flight. My sympathies go out to Tommy Robinson over the Atlantic right now, sitting through seventeen grueling hours of plane travel at one go.
The ostensible reason why he was deported was that he had filled out his entry form improperly, but it’s obvious that the British authorities had informed their DHS counterparts that he was coming, and advised them to send him back using any available pretext.
One of my EDL contacts says he was shadowed by British police at Heathrow right up until the moment he got on the plane. It’s even possible that plainclothes officers were on board with him during the flight.
Those are all the details I know right now. I’ll keep you posted if anything else arrives.

At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe.
We are in a new phase of a very old war.

No doubt there is a politcal component to this decision and collusion by the security services on both sides of the Atlantic. But anyone with a criminal record, let alone someone who had served time for assault on a police officer, would be taking their chances at the border. Even assuming he had been granted a waiver of ineligibility I have no doubt even minor problems with the paperwork would provide the excuse both governments were after.

Good. The Obama administration is begining to act like Nixon in his decline. They are scared of free speech. It is a sign of weakness. They know they are losing the debate. Holder is a racist and will clearly use his powers to interfere with white people at every turn. (Haven't heard much about that dangerous Hutaree Militia lately, have we?)
