Hide the British!

Can't we just cook the British to a medium rare, Texas style?

Most of the Brit's I've met are thin, Now Americans they have some meat on their bones!

It's not like you guys would miss a few fat kids anyways.

**Marshal2Crusaders**

One kid gets deported and we are eating fat people?

What a load of crap.

Haggis looks good. I dont understand the hate.

The story consists of two things, a kid being banned from entering the US, and that kid's version of what he did to incur the banning. From the kid's story the banning seems comically excessive. This might be, shockingly enough, because kids who get in trouble don't always tell the truth. It's likely he said a whole lot more, most likely would be a threat to the president's life.

Now, I want to go to the US someday, and I think Obama is alright if a little ineffectual, but I like a gamble and I like to find stuff out... so let's see if calling Obama a prick will actually get someone banned from the US.

Obama is a prick.

Now we play the waiting game... will I get banned?! Excitement!

Why would we have to worry about this?
In the war your own troops would be at as much risk from your air stikes as ours would.

Don't let Matty hear you say that.

You can't be a citizen if you've done drugs once? That's kind of harsh.

**Guitardian**

Actually I wasn't allowed OUT of the U.S. because of a drug charge over a bowl o weed that never got cleared up. Despite having a British passport, heading to Canada (a commonwealth member) they actually wouldn't let me OUT until I go back to Arizona over a minor drug infraction 12 years old. Some states take a bowl of weed pretty seriously. Now I'm a brit trapped in the U.S. with a British passport and not allowed to go to Britain or any of the commonwealth. Not allowed out. . Yeah that was a fun scenario to deal with. stupid stupid stupid

I would really contact your embassy, I mean I can't imagine the brits like their citizens to be held against their will and all that.

It's fine if it's the US doing it.

EDIT: In fact, if you disagree, you're either drunk or a Scot, or even worse a drunk Scot.

Does a drunk Scot slur his broug into his emails? Where's MDG when I need him?

I'm a Scot; been living not hugely far from Bedford, and no haggis here! Although there are exceptions, the English really don't eat it. Since moving to England I've only found it stocked in shops around Burns' Night.

(Unless there's some in-joke I've missed which inspired the haggis reference in the first post...)

**Kilkrazy**

Waitrose usually has some haggis in stock though naturally they get in the year's main supply at the end of the season.

I love haggis.

**whatwhat**

In the north of england it's pretty much in every supermarket.

I hate haggis.

It's really nice. I think it's the 'sheep's stomach' thing that puts people off, but you don't eat that bit, that's like an outer packaging that you remove. It's bit like stuffing, but not really.

Not that this story has any validity beyond what a kid is telling a gossip rag, but...

Original. You would fit right in with those ignorant enough to beleive the rights of american citizens apply to those who arent citizens.

Magna Carta doesn't apply to me, why should the U.S. Constitution apply to you?

It seems self entitlement isn't a strictly american phenomenon anymore.

If the story is actually (and surprisingly) factual, then the blame lies squarely on Homeland Security put into place by Bush, not Obama. But of course such a right wing sensationalist 'news' organization is going to place the blame on Obama. Fox understands the true power of selective amnesia.

Give me $2,000 and I can help you with that. You don't have an aversion to swimming across rivers do you?

Haggis is good. Haggis is great. Haggis with Neeps and Tatties. Haggis on my plate!

But this morning, I had a Breakfast PIE!

Yes, you can stick your 'All Day Breakfast' Sandwiches, with their flacid bread, dull, wet tomato and crappy filling. I'm talking Breakfast PIE.

And it was delicious. Cold Water Pastry case, then a slice of Black Pudding (Pigs Blood. Mmm!) Baked Beans, rasher of Bacon, scrambled egg, two ickle Sossies, and then a bit of cheese. BARP! Breakfast of Champions!

You'll find that the rights enshrined in the Magna Carta form the basis of much of the US constitution. So it kind of does apply to you.

That can't correct. I don't see my right to party anywhere in the Magna Carta. Why does the MC say I have a right to eggs and baked beans?

**Arctik_Firangi**

I have an admission to make to the American government. I've been encouraging plants to produce an 'oxygen' in your country for some time now, creating an ageing (you might know it as 'aging') effect that has been stressing your wives and eventually killing your presidents for centuries. I like to call it oxygenocide.

Then again, I didn't want to visit anyway. Have fun with your 'aging' women!

P.S. Any chance of a Bacon smiley?

Bacon needs no smiley. Bacon IS.

It would be handy for distracting people by posting Bacon Smileys.

Obama e-mail teenager gets US ban

A teenager from Bedfordshire has been banned from entering the United States for life for sending a "threatening" e-mail to the White House.

Luke Angel, 17, of Silsoe, was investigated after he expressed his dislike of President Barack Obama and the US Government.

Bedfordshire police, who then visited Luke, said the e-mail was full of abusive and threatening language.

"He was told that he wouldn't be able to go to America," they added.

A spokeswoman said it was a case of a boy "being silly" and no criminal action was being taken.

"We were informed by the Metropolitan Police and so we went round to see him," she said.

"He said 'oh dear, it was me'."

He told police he could not remember exactly what he had written in the e-mail.

The right to party isn't guaranteed.

You have to fight for your right to party. Do as the Beastie Boys have done before you.
