THERE’S a perverse irony in that a notorious hate preacher heading for the Finsbury Park Mosque or Darul Uloom in Bury to pray for the eradication of the Jewish race will have a UK immigration officer stamp his passport with a welcoming smile and wave him merrily on his way.
Arrive at the same desk as a cultured, civilised Christian democrat, hoping to share a message of hope, brotherhood – and perhaps warning – with a vast crowd of British patriots? Prepare yourself for several silent hours in a stark, locked room before being marched by grim-faced British oberleutnants and thrust on to a return flight home.
