1. I would appreciate if the BBC would immediately call them "The Westboro Baptist Church"
and not simply "a US church".

Reason being that they are not even a real church by what the mind draws to when envisioning "a church" but one large family with a weird and hateful political agenda and a building with a cross on it.

2. Oh come on! Even bigoted jackasses need a European vacation.
And so do we. The Brits need to reconsider.

should be shunned in this manner. i applaud the UK govt for doing this.

too often preaching violences against sexual minorities is not considered as big a threat as preaching violence against other minorities
