Sarah Ludford, Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights spokeswoman and MEP for London, has welcomed the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal ruling that overturns the UK Home Office ban on far-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders from entering the UK.
Sarah said:
"Geert Wilder's brand of racist poison needs to be confronted, not evaded. By banning him the government has allowed him to pose as a martyr."
"He should be allowed to come to the UK where his inflammatory rhetoric should be contradicted."
ENDS.
