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 behavior Britain was not prepared to tolerate.
The list includes hate preachers, anti-gay protesters and an American US talk show host.
If the UK were maintaining a list and alerting those on it that they were unwelcome at least I could understand it. But this is different. Publishing this list is done to intimidate others who express their opinions about morality. The UK is wrong to do this.
Who cares. I have been there and it is not as much a privelege as they think. This kind of political pandering is probably being eaten up by their left-leaning populace though.
I don’t agree with Savage being banned.
However, Savage is no friend of free speech. Despite Savage painting himself as a champion of free speech, he is anything but. He took the organisation CAIR to court to prevent them from using snippets of his show on their website. He lost. However, had Savage prevailed, free speech would have lessened for us all.

Rush Limbaugh and Shaun Hannity will be next.
Maybe the UK will ban children and parents of anti-social behaviour or at least lock them up in prison camps on a remote island.
Maybe then they will ban all politicians and lawyers and talk radio hosts and all news except that of Radio Free China.
Maybe then they will just fumigate the rest of us and leave this planet alone for the rest of life which resides here free from goverments and free to be wild – forever.
communist is coming.
Savage is an accoplished PHD with over 25 books published (a few best sellers).
It is not envogue in the current polital systems of the world to speak of
borders, language and culture. There is a reason his nationally syndicated
show is #3 in the U.S. To place a man of ideas and opinions, with child
killing terrorists is a sign of the deterioration of the liberty of free speech. SILENCE IS CONSENT
