A Jewish student from Kansas was denied entry into Britain for a summer job several weeks ago—apparently due to a customs agent’s anti-Semitism.
After being detained for more than nine hours, he was put back on a plane to the United States by customs officials. During that time he was never told why he was being denied entry.
According to the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, the British man who had offered Louis “Chip” Cantor summer work experience, Kevin Shilling, said the British border agent he spoke to in his attempt to get Cantor admitted into Britian made more than one anti-Semitic comment to him during the telephone conversation they had. …

And if he were to take legal action he should expect to be openly called a terrorist...or something like that...by British officials
This is outrageous! How come no one called the American Embassy? The UK has been sold out to Satan. Sad.
Israeli stamps in his passport. Female agents involved, at least one Muslim, though the creepiest guy was apparently “Philip G. Yeomans”.
Britannistan will come to a sticky end, if things keep going in this direction.
Oopsie.
C’mon. This was all above board. The Brits checked with Obama and Kerry and both gave a thumbs up.
What do they have against Kansas?
What will it take to wake Britain up? An attack on the Royal Family by Islamists?
Yup . . . the “Liberal Conservative” Tories, no doubt.
The rise of UKIP is indicative that parts of the U.K. are indeed waking up. Same for EDL.
I think I will wait for more corroboration on this story before I disseminate it. So, far, it just a second-hand report.
The story sounds credible. Unfortunately doesn’t matter what the country is - they pretty much don’t have to explain why they refuse entry so it might be tough to get answers.

Fair enough, except for calling it “second hand”.
Sorry guys, but this smells like BS to me. I am Jewish and I fly to the UK all the time. I've never been harassed for being Jewish. But I have seen PLENTY of people turned back for trying to work illegally in the UK. Might THAT have been what was happening? The guy ADMITS he was only going to the UK to get work experience. Did he have a visa? Because they are extraordinary sensitive to folks -- Americans included -- who try to work on a tourist visa.
See my analysis below. Anything’s always possible, but I think there may be something else going on.
We need a new driver and a better map!
Do you have Israeli stamps in your passport?
How many Israel visa stamps does your passport have?
Who in their right mind would want to go to the UK anyway. The only reason to go is to see the Scottish comedian Billy Connelly who lives way up in Scotland and you can get there through Ireland.
