Named and shamed: the 16 barred from UK

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.

"I think it's important that people understand the sorts of values and sorts of standards that we have here, the fact that it's a privilege to come and the sort of things that mean you won't be welcome in this country," Ms Smith told GMTV.

"Coming to this country is a privilege. If you can't live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you from this country and, what's more, now we will make public those people that we have excluded.

"We are publishing the names of 16 of those that we have excluded since October. We are telling people who they are and why it is we don't want them in this country."

She said the number of people excluded from Britain had risen from an average of two a month to five a month since October.

The list of the 16 "least wanted" includes radio talk show host Michael Savage, real name Michael Weiner.

"This is someone who has fallen into the category of fomenting hatred, of such extreme views and expressing them in such a way that it is actually likely to cause inter-community tension or even violence if that person were allowed into the country," Ms Smith told BBC Breakfast.

1. What a charming bunch, eh? Surprising that Ann Coulter didn't make their list. nt

[BrklynLiberal]

8. I would guess the only reason she is not on the list is that she did not try to enter the UK

[rasputin1952]

2. Savage Weiner, Fred Phelps & daughter...

the rest are terrorists...oh wait...they are ALL terrorists...:D

What a miserable lot.

[DrDan]

3. wow - there are a lot of weiner-supporters at that site

exactly the reason to ban him from travel there.

[JimGinPA]

4. Wonder If They'll Let Him Into France

:evilgrin:



K&R

12. PLEASE let him into France

With a 4 million strong Muslim population, I'm sure he will receive the welcome there that he deserves.

[wndycty]

5. LOL he is being grouped with Muslim Extremists

Oy vey.

[NYC_SKP]

6. Don't think this development didn't give him an erection. He must be loving it.

Now he's got a whole new reason to spew.

And he did need some new material, his old rants having gotten pretty tiresome.

Stupid fuck.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. Couldn't happen to a more deserving group..

9. He was a guest on NPR this afternoon.

A caller started getting all up in Savage's face and Mikey-Boy went ballistic, calling the caller names and getting totally out of hand until Savage told hot Neil Conan he had better things to do than "be insulted" on this show. Neil said "well then, I guess you better go do them" and Weiner-Saveage hung up on him. It's the first time I ever heard and NPR host kick somebody off the air. It was pretty sweet.

10. Heh

[Doug.Goodall]

14. Might I add

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

:rofl:

:rofl:

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Scumbags all, I suppose, but...

it does bother me when any government tries to silence even a shitstain like Savage Weiner.

Shit, they allow Donald Trump in just because he's trying to build another golf course in Scotland. What can Weiner do worse than that?

[cooolandrew]

13. This is truly a great moment in history and shows what the world thinks when it comes to neocons>

and really thinks of their extreme views. This should be sent to every neocon in the nation. A massive contrast to the President's reception in the UK, where Savage would naver get the same level of approval ratings. If this doesn't send a message to modify their behavior to come into the 21st century nothing will.
