Talk radio host Michael Savage and others banned by U.K.
Banned by U.K., Savage hits back
Radio talk star blocked from visits, along with terrorists, neo-Nazis
WorldNetDaily
Talk radio host Michael Savage is considering legal action against Britain’s top homeland security official after she released today a list grouping him with terrorists and neo-Nazi murderers banned from entry because the government believes their views might provoke violence.
In a telephone interview with WND, Savage said he is still waiting to hear back from attorneys, but he noted Britain has very strict anti-defamation laws.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said she decided to publicize the list of 16 people banned since October to show the type of behavior Britain will not tolerate, according to U.K. news reports. Read entire article >>

By Beverley Rouse, Press Association
Sixteen people banned from entering the UK were “named and shamed” by the Home Office today.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said she decided to make public the names of 16 people banned since October so others could better understand what sort of behaviour Britain was not prepared to tolerate.
The list includes hate preachers, anti-gay protesters and a far- right US talk show host. Read entire article >>
The U.K. holds the title of being the No.1 “surveillance society” in the world. That and this story might indicate an over-reaction to terrorism or a falling in line with the prophetic book ‘1984.’ This latest incident follows up on the banning of Dutch MP Geert Wilders for his so-called “extremist views.” Where will it all end? At least they ban secularists as well as Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
So what’s so controversial about talk-show host Michael Savage? He has had a running battle with the Catholic Church, even calling the leadership there “greedy pigs.” Due to some Hispanics burning American flags at pro-immigration rallies, he suggested listeners burn Mexican flags. In America we call that “freedom of speech.” Guess they don’t have that in the U.K.
