| Subject: YaY! Dutch MP banned over anti-Islam film is to be sent back home from Heathrow Thu Feb 12, 2009 4:20 pm | |
| A right-wing Dutch politician is to be sent back to the Netherlands after attempting to defy a ban on entering Britain.
Geert Wilders arrived at Heathrow airport this afternoon and was presented with a letter that refused him entry to the UK.
Mr Wilders said he was detained by UK Border Agency officials on arrival, had his passport taken away, and was told he would be sent home within two hours.
The politician had been invited to Westminster to show his 17-minute film Fitna, which criticises the Koran as a 'fascist book', by a member of the House of Lords.
Speaking from Heathrow, Mr Wilders branded Gordon Brown the 'biggest coward in Europe' and said freedom of speech in Britain had been 'set back centuries'.
