Paul O'Grady held at airport over communist fears

Paul O'Grady has revealed that he was held by officials at a US airport because they thought he was a communist.

The TV presenter said he was taken aside for questioning at Miami airport by staff who made the assumption because of his 'funny' accent.

He was then held for two hours while an officer accused him of being an 'illegal alien' from Cuba.

He told listeners of his Radio 2 show: "How could I be accused of being an illegal Cuban alien? Do I look Cuban? Do I sound Cuban?"

I am glad that Comrade O'Grady has been freed from the US so that his Paul O'Grady Show can continue indoctrinating nanas and young children in the science of Marxism-Leninism :D

4. I think he's (gay) married too

Which for the US Right-Wing makes him as bad as one of those Eye-rackie Mooz-lums

2. His funny accent?

Christ, they understood the bloody Beatles alright.

And please be aware that I've successfully fought the urge to make a joke about Scousers and the welfare system.

3. For pity's sake!

I swear they've resurrected Joe McCarthy and put him in charge of 'Homeland Security'. *gads I hate that term*

Being a US citizen is a daily embarrassment . . .
