LONDON — Foreigners who preach hatred, sponsor violence or belong to extremist groups could be deported from Britain (search) under strict new measures that Prime Minister Tony Blair announced Friday, nearly a month after homicide bombers killed 52 people on London's transit system. Membership in extremist Islamic groups such as Hizb-ut-Tahrir (search) would become a crime under the new measures. "They come here and they play by our rules and our way of life," Blair said at his monthly news conference. "If they don't, they are going to have to go."

Sounds good, but won't really work: three of four 7/7 terrorists were BORN in UK. Where would Blair send them if he had a chance?

Great - I love that man. Such a great leader for Britain and many do not even know it.

We should do the same - they come here, live by our rules, respect our country and its people - or they are ushered out to find a country they love.
