PLANNED MEASURES
-Home secretary to consider deporting any foreigner involved in listed extremist centres and websites
-Make justifying or glorifying terrorism anywhere an offence
-Automatically refuse asylum to anyone with anything to do with terrorism
-Examine calls for police to be able to hold terror suspects for longer before pressing charges
-Use more control orders against British terror suspects
-Create a list of preachers who will be kept out of the UK


Now, if you were an American citizen who sent a check to the IRA
I would say they could keep this person out of the UK given the above statement.

or a CIA operative who helped train the Contras
A little more dicey given A) I doubt they would know that person helped train the Contras and B) it's been over two decades since this happened.

It seems to me that this is more involved with foreigners and other other refugees seeking asylum. I think UK citizens are fairly protected from most of these guidelines.
