London (Reuters) - Britain has banned a prominent American Holocaust denier from entering the United Kingdom, according to a copy of correspondence from the interior ministry. Mark Weber, director of the California-based Institute for Historical Review, has questioned the scale of the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were killed.
You are the subject of an exclusion decision taken personally by the Home Secretary on 28 April 2015 on Unacceptable Behaviour ground, the letter to Weber dated Dec. 22 from Britains Home Office said.
Prime Minister Theresa May, who became premier in 2016 amid political turmoil prompted by a shock referendum vote to leave the European Union, was Home Secretary at the time of the decision.
She personally directed that you should be excluded from the United Kingdom on the grounds that your presence here is not conductive to the public good, according to the 2015 decision.

It's too late, but I don't think Ike was taking medications to deal with the future Holocaust denial. However, the more we learn about our heros and mortal leaders, the more possible that could be.

(188 posts)I and other teachers and students were targeted by the so-called "Schiller Institute", a front for the Lyndon LaRouche organization. They used to hang up posters for free classical German music concerts as a way to lure students and teachers into their outfit, which, frankly, I used to consider cultlike. Of course, as soon as I saw them, I took their posters down. They had no permission to hang anything up on the department's bulletin board anyway.
It's my understanding they're still out there trying to draw support from the vulnerable and confused.

After all, birds of a feather must flock together.
