Over 120,000 people have signed an online petition to ban him from entering the country so he has pissed a fair few people off
And they have given him huge amounts of free publicity by doing so which in turn makes him more marketable in a twisted way |

No he shouldn't. Though I would hope venues won't book him. But allowing him here it prompts debate and discussion and that;s good. Banning him turns him in to a martyr |

That's my thought too. Surely it would be an abuse of law to actually ban him too? However much of a misygnostic (shit, my spelling has gone to pot tonight!) disgusting man he is?  |

Free speech comes at a price. We have to hear things that we don't necessarily want too |

He may be a repugnant little shit, but there still exists the illusion of free speech in this country, and being a repugnant shit is not enough to deny him entry...
Now, if the shit he's peddling can be classified as 'hate speech' then yes, ban him... |

Sadly, misogyny isn't deemed hate speech.
Everyone signing petitions on this consider doing something that garners less publicity but may help more people: sign the SOS petition to save women's refuges.

It's sailing pretty close to it.
I wonder how many people would be influenced by him? |
