Anti-war MP George Galloway has been banned from Canada, it emerged today.
A Canadian spokesman confirmed that the Respect MP had been deemed inadmissible on national security grounds and would not be allowed into the country.
Galloway today branded the ban "idiotic" and vowed to fight the ruling with "all means" at his disposal. He is due to give a speech in Toronto on 30 March.
Earlier today the Sun said border security officials had declared Galloway, 54, "inadmissible" because of his views on Afghanistan and the presence of Canadian troops there and would be turned away if he attempted to enter the country.
A spokesman for Citizenship and Immigration Canada said the decision had been taken by border security officials "based on a number of factors" in accordance with section 34(1) of the country's immigration act.


"On a personal note – for a Scotsman to be barred from Canada is like being told to stay away from the family home.
"This is not something I'm prepared to accept."


Galloway is due to speak at a public forum entitled Resisting War from Gaza to Kandahar, hosted by the Toronto Coalition to Stop the War later this month.
He is also due to speak at a second public forum in Mississauga, west of Toronto, on 31 March.


His proposed visit prompted the Jewish Defence League of Canada to write an open letter to the country's government urging it to do "everything possible to keep this hater away".


In 2006, Galloway was refused entry to Egypt on the grounds of national security after he travelled to the country to give evidence at a "mock trial" of Tony Blair and George Bush.
He was held overnight in a police cell before the authorities changed their minds and allowed him into the country.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. He's a downright pathetic cunt.

Edit: OK, so on a moral note it's probably wrong to bar him, but he really is such a gigantic terrorist-supporting idiot that I really don't mind.

Yeah for a guy that took bribes from Saddam he really is a top notch bloke.

They support Israel because it's a democracy in the middle-east that doesn't crucify people, unlike 'Palestine'.

Thanks for playing.
What, the fuck, are you talking about ? There's no point arguing with you at all. You just fail.

I reckon we should ban him too. His views are too extreme for my liking.

You'd need a heart of stone not to laugh!!! Good for Canada, if only Britain was as choosy who it lets in - we wouldn't have these so-called 'British' terrorist suspects returning here from Guantanamo claiming they were tortured and threatening to sue us!

Pity we couldn`t bar him. I am not sure that the UK is big enough for George`s ego. Although give him a bowl of milk and he becomes a real pussycat.

' Infandous '..... what a lovely word.... ' infandous '.

I'm going to look that up in the dictionary straight away... and use it every opportunity I get.

Of course, nobody will know what the hell I'm talking about - but it will add a nuance of education to my reputation.

I learned ' nuance ' last week and this is the very first opportunity I have had to use it.
'Infandous ' ... I can't quite get over that.........

This is one Canadian who is delighted to see our officials at Canada Immigration doing a good job. We don't need the likes of Mr. Galloway or anyone else who supports terrorism in our country. That pictures is a classic example of a 'picture saying a thousand words'....

I thought Canada was bigger than this, its following our Labour government in its big brother approach. Galloway is many things but a terrorist is not one of them. He is a man with an alternative view on the middle east,that most of us disagree with, but I have never heard him promote violence at any time. Infact some of his opinions have proved to be true in respect to the double dealing that took us to Iraq. By all means ban men of violence and those that support it but this is a ban by distorting the facts.

He's not just anti-war, he's anti-everything most people regard as decent and normal. Hooray for the Canadians.

Good sense still prevails, at least on this side of the Atlantic. George Galloway can rant and rave as much as he likes, It will have no effect on a decision already made.

I am not surprised, but I am disappointed, but with a Minority Government struggling to stay in power, they are afraid to lose any votes, esepcially from minority groups.

Most Canadians are willing to listen with open minds, certain Minorities are not, makes some noise, get some press, week kneed policians collapse like a sack of coal.

I don't like Galloways Leftist views that we in Britain should be flooded with mass immigration, however I don't believe he is a terrorist and I DO believe in free speech, it is outrageous that a Western Country is doing this.

In the wise words of a good mate of mine: Way to make an otherwise pathetic bourgeois politician feel an inflamed sense of self-importance.
