There's a better version of the story on the Daily Mail web site that has a picture of the documents given to these folks when they were barred: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2093796/British-tour...

Only The Sun could make an article in the Daily Mail appear good by comparison.

Amazing quote from the girl in this piece though:

"We just wanted to have a good time on holiday. That was all Leigh meant in his tweet. He would not hurt anyone. He is gay.'

Wondering if I can use that as evidence that I wouldn't hurt anything if I ever have any problems with the TSA..

Reading Ms. Banting's Twitter stream makes me wonder if they weren't really barred from entry on the grounds of being total numbskulls.

Well, by those grounds, they might as well stay consistent and kick out some of our politicians too while they're at it!

Based on my casual observations from inside the padded walls, this would be counter to the apparent goals of the shadow government.

That is just awesome. It's like one of the better sketches off Little Britain.

Best part of the documents is that they say he posted these things on his "tweeter" account.

Worst part is that these documents exist in the first place.

I was going to say the same thing.

If they're going to use "tweeter" as a information source, they should as least get it's name right.
