Luke Angel was reprimanded by police on both sides of the Atlantic after firing off a drunken message to the White House calling the president a "p****".

The FBI intercepted the message and contacted police in the UK who went to see the 17-year-old at his home in Silsoe, Bedfordshire.

Luke, a college student, is now on a list of people who are banned from visiting the States.

The teenager told the Bedfordshire On Sunday newspaper that he had sent the email after watching a TV programme about September 11.

When asked about the ban, Luke said: "I don't really care. My parents aren't very happy about it.

"The police who came round took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever."

A Bedfordshire Police spokesman said: "The individual sent an email to the White House full of abusive and threatening language.

"We were informed by the Metropolitan Police and went to see him. He said, 'Oh dear, it was me'."

Officers will take no criminal action.

Joanne Ferreira, of the US Department of Homeland Security, said there are about 60 reasons a person can be barred.

She added: "We are prohibited from discussing specific cases."

Is he really banned from the US or were the cops trying to put a scare in the young chap?

If he sent a threatening email regarding Obama, no doubt he is really banned from the USA.

Hell, I got caught for Possession of Marijauna, and cant cross the border without getting written consent beforehand (which can take months), So I would think threatening the president of the USA would call for a full ban.

Yeah I know.

The article mentioned "abusive and threatening language" but didn't give any example other than referring to Obama as a prick.

I'd like to see the language used.

"Obama is a prick!!!" = Come on ovah...half the country or more thinks so too!

"Obama is a prick and 'insert a threat here'" = Knock knock knock....FBI...Open up!!

The kid is obviously a tool for not knowing the difference.

I want to see the actual emails too.

It is funny how free speech is not really free if the listeners do not like what they are hearing.
