US bloggers {Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer} banned from entering UK (BBC)

Two prominent US bloggers have been banned from entering the UK, the Home Office has said.

They were due to speak at an English Defence League march in Woolwich, where Drummer Lee Rigby was killed.

A government spokesman said individuals whose presence "is not conducive to the public good" could be excluded by the home secretary.

He added: "We condemn all those whose behaviours and views run counter to our shared values and will not stand for extremism in any form."

By the same argument, could we forbid them reentry to the US ?
