By kicking his followers in the face. I am not joking.

MP calls for ban on tattooed preacher who 'cures' cancer by kicking people in the face

"An evangelist who kicks followers in the face, claiming his violence will cure them of cancer, is to tour Britain this month – but his proposed visit has provoked outrage and demands that he be banned from entering the country."

I am skeptical of his methods, to say the least.

You mean we've been wasting all this money on cancer research and they've been hiding the cure in Newcastle all this time...?

Well its not a crime to swindle people out of their money in this way, and I'm sure they pay some sort of entry fee to his "show", if it were a crime to swindle people out of their money then i think the banks and expenses scamming politicians would all be serving hard time in jail right now but they arent, so this guy should be just fine, except that an MP is now asking to have him banned from entering the UK.

So the bigger thing here (in my view) is if this ban is allowed to go ahead it will only end up leading down the wrong path to where UK citizens themselves might end up being judged on whether they can leave or not dependant of someone, somewhere taking that decision, again assuming authority over your life knowing that you are not too likely to catch on too the game being played on you.

My ONLY concern about this guy would be the sexual attack he is alleged to have committed when he was 15, i think that is something which should be considered above all other things, but then again if this MP is looking to gain the support of the people of the UK then he should also prove to them that this guy did in fact commit that disgusting crime when he was 15, and not just slap it onto a newspaper.

I hope he doesn't come to Durham

Firstly, this is the sort of attention that the guy will crave. Even though most people will see the man for what he is, others will believe him.

Homoeopaths should be banned before this guy. Though, to be honest, i'm not too worried because it is just natural selection in action. If you are stupid enough to fall for these types of things, then you aren't really a massive loss.

Lol unbelievable.

I can't say I'd shed a tear if he was banned from entering.
