Quote of the day
“It says more about them than it says about me.”
- Michael Savage, a US radio talk show host, reacting to the government’s decision to ban him from entering the UK. He told his radio audience that he was intending to sue Jacqui Smith, who he described as the “lunatic … Home Secretary of England”. ”To link me up with skinheads who are killing people in Russia, to put me in league with Hamas murderers who kill people on buses is defamation,” he said. Michael Savage’s heinous crimes include exercising his right to free speech describing the Koran as “a book of hate” and said that most cases of autism were “a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out”.

Inciting hate or telling the truth? Though I’m not too sure of his stance on autism but then that is no right to ban a person from the country! I have to side with the libertarian argument on this one. We can’t ban people because they exercise free speech, no matter how controversial.
This is a reflection of Labour getting everyone relying on the state and now they look to Leader Brown for all their thoughts and opinions, which must not be ruined by an American DJ; he might spoil the maxims painted on the barn wall!
Sometime I wonder what kind of crappy country we live in when on the same day as banning a radio DJ real hate preachers are released from prison to roam freely about the country/muslim communities! It seems like Labour are attempting to appease everyone: the muslims by freeing their crazies and the non-muslims by having a sham of a law to prevent hate incitors getting into the country! However, the muslim jihad crazies are already in the country and the opposers of such are prevented from balancing the argument!
Oooh I can feel the annoyance building and brow puckering in anger – maybe it’s time to incite hatred of the Labour Government. :0)
Indeed. This guy seems about as dangerous as a tranquilized bunny.
A good political trial about what this authoritarian government considers to be unacceptable speech, in the context of the freedoms enshrined not in our common law, but in the ECHR, should be really really good fun.
Watching Labour squirm over EU legislation would be worth paying to see.
Lets be honest, we know why she wouldn’t let him in. He’s says racist things and we are not allowed to say anything remotely racist in the UK, the muslims would have a flying fit and cause trouble! It’s always the same, whinging islamists are the reason we have lost our free speech.
Well, at least you’re safe from them in Spain.
Do not underestimate the reach of our authoritarian state…..
