Savage

Excluded from the UK as a distraction? Maybe so:

To exclude someone from entering this country is a serious act of state. We have not been told how the decision was taken. We do not know which criteria were applied.

All we can say for certain is that there was no attempt to consult our elected representatives in the House of Commons, engrossed as they now are in defending their expenses, and it looks very much as though the list of banned persons was rushed out to cover up the hoo-ha over the Home Secretary's taxpayer-funded bath plug.

Michael Savage has said ignorant and unpleasant things about gay people, autism and Muslims. But it is far from clear that he would be in breach of any law, even in this country. The world is full of loudmouth media berks with views that we would all like to keep to themselves, but we can't ban them all from entering Britain.

Savage

Michael Savage is threatening to sue the British Home Secreatary, Jacqui Smith, unless she apologizes for placing him on a list of individuals who are barred from entering the UK because of fomenting "extremism or hate." Savage will also call for a boycott of the UK by his listeners if the "lunatic" fails to apologize.

Savage Banned From The UK

Talk radio host Michael Savage has been banned from entering the United Kingdom due to his "extreme" views. Whether you like Savage or not, this seems like an unwise move on the part of the Brits, to say the least.
