British boy gets US ban for calling Obama a ‘prick’

Luke Angel sent ‘abusive and threatening’ email after watching 9/11 show

By Rachel Helyer Donaldson

LAST UPDATED 4:23 PM, SEPTEMBER 14, 2010

A British boy has been banned from America for life after he sent an email to the White House calling Barack Obama "a prick". Seventeen-year-old Luke Angel, from Silsoe in Bedfordshire, sent the expletive-laden message to the White House after watching a TV programme about the 9/11 attacks.

Unfortunately for Angel, the FBI intercepted the email and contacted police in the UK. No criminal action will be taken against the teenager, but he has been placed on a list of people banned from entering the United States.

This was not a threat. It is name calling, something O is used to slinging around. How can a country of “FREE SPEECH,” bar someone from entry because of a slur that is not a threat?


The right of free speech is only given for US citizen!
If you are not an US citizen you have no rights.
It´s true once you legal enter the US you have the same rights and are resbonsible to follow the same laws. But First they have to let you IN. There is no right to enter the US as a none citzen.

The kid should have been given a teaching position at Harvard.

The kid is right.

He still revealed a Official State Secret, which is the reason to deny him entry into the USA

The government of Great Britain should retaliate: Ban Obama from the British Isles for life for being a prick.

The right of free speech is only given for US citizen! If you are not an US citizen you have no rights.

This is technically inaccurate, his right to free speech was not violated, but since permission to enter a country that is not yours is a privilege and not a right, it has been rescinded in this instance by the government of that country, as is their prerogative. If the US had actively tried to have the boy prosecuted and locked up, then that would be a different matter...

There must be more to the story than this. I’m sure the plod wouldn’t get involved unless he threatened violence or something.... Possible but not necessary. Every “foreign” country can deny you the entry without even give you an explanation.

Obama must get millions of insulting emails every day. Wouldn't you think the FBI and the secret service have better things to do than ring up the police in Britain and send them round to someone's house merely for calling the POTUS a prick from 3,000 miles away?

We should organize a Nationwide Call-Obama-A-Prick Day in protest, and to defend our 1st Amendment rights!
