Brits losing in their attack on Michael Savage

His accusation that he was attacked on racial grounds has now been confirmed
"Former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has suffered a major setback in her legal battle with American 'shock jock' Michael Savage after her officials were accused of banning him from the country on racial grounds. Emails written by Home Office officials privately acknowledged the ban on Mr Savage would provide 'balance' to a list dominated by Muslims - and linked the decision to Gordon Brown and Foreign Secretary David Miliband.

The officials admitted their action could look 'duplicitous' and cited his 'homophobia' as a reason the move would receive public support. The Right-wing radio presenter, whose hardline views on Islam, rape and autism have caused outrage in the US but whose show, The Savage Nation, has eight million listeners, was identified in May by Ms Smith as one of 16 people barred due to their political views.

Mr Savage, who had not even applied for entry to Britain, claimed his name had been 'plucked out of a hat' because he was 'controversial and white'. He has since served a £100,000 libel writ on Ms Smith, who announced his ban on television.

Now, correspondence released under Freedom of Information legislation suggests the banning of Mr Savage, whose real name is Michael Weiner, was based on a party political calculation made at the highest level of Government. One message, sent by an unidentified Home Office official on November 27 last year, said that 'with Weiner, I can understand that disclosure of the decision would help provide a balance of types of exclusion cases'.

The documents include a draft recommendation, marked 'Restricted', saying: 'We will want to ensure that the names disclosed reflect the broad range of cases and are not all Islamic extremists.'

They don't have to blow things up. The Muslims are outbreeding the Brits to such an extent, that they will merely vote themselves control. Not sure if this will happen in England or France first, but either one might become the 3rd Muslim nuclear power.

You've got it wrong. The emails don't refer to the banned list, they refer to the named and shamed list. The government wanted to show that not all the people on the banned list are Muslim.

Only those like bogsidebunny, anonymous 2:21am

Most conservatives, like myself, would not make such blanket accusations of a group of people.

We understand that not all Muslims are terrorists.

We understand that the media and politicians do not always represent the views of the people.

Blanket accusations resolve nothing, and placing an innocent man on a list of killers just to present a look of balance is indicative of a deeper problem.

If you provide a list of proven killers, with the evidence to back up your claims, then nothing more should be needed. If someone says "You only have [enter whiny group here] represented on your list! You're racist", you simply take out the list of crimes for each person on the list and say "No, you are mistaken. We only have criminals on this list, and we don't want them in our country."

Is that so difficult?

And yes, I did refer to Michael Savage as innocent, because it is not a crime to express your opinion, and he has never incited anyone to act in a harmful or illegal manner.

It is obvious since Savage did not intend to travel to Britain that the entire thing was political showboating by Home Secretary Smith and nothing more. What a complete waste of the British citizens time and money by one of their officials trying to make political points.
