Holocaust-denying Bishop scuffles with Argentine television reporter
Bishop Richard Williamson was expelled from Argentina today, but not before he scuffled with an Argentine television reporter at the Buenos Aires airport where Williamson was boarding a flight to London.Let's go to the videotape (in Spanish - sorry) and then I'll have more.
A local television station showed Richard Williamson raising his fist toward a reporter, then shoving him into a pole with his shoulder as he hurried through Buenos Aires' Ezeiza international airport to catch a flight for London.If the Brits wouldn't let Geert Wilders into the country last week, why are they letting this guy in?
Argentina's government on Thursday ordered the traditionalist Catholic bishop to leave the country or face expulsion, citing his failure to declare a job change as required by immigration law as well as his denials of the Holocaust, which it called "an insult" to humanity.

Argentina's Interior Ministry said in a news release that Williamson departed on a flight to London on Tuesday.
Images broadcast on Buenos Aires' Todo Noticias television showed Williamson - wearing a baseball cap, a black fleece jacket and dark sunglasses - hurrying through the airport when television reporter Norberto Dupesso moved alongside Williamson to ask a question.
Williamson, his lips tightly pursed in a grimace, raised a clenched fist inches from Dupesso's face, then pushed past, shoving Dupesso into a pole with his shoulder. Two men accompanying the bishop then grabbed Dupesso by his shoulders and held him back by while Williamson hurried away.

In answer to your question, the Brits have to let Williamson in because he's a British citizen. Wilders is not.
Holocaust denial is not a crime in most countries for the sensible reason that you should not police a man's thoughts. The Germans and Austrians though made it a crime in order to prevent the Nazis from regrouping under a different banner. All the hate crime legislation in Europe has not made the European countries any safer for Jews. Even the leftie Jews now realise it. Who is it that benefits from so called hate crime legislation, the impetus of which was surely guilt over Holocaust? Why its the same Muslims who moan that Hitler did not do a thorough enough job.
