Michael Savage, Fred and Shirley Phelps Banned from UK Over Hate

May 5, 2009 by Andy Towle

The UK Home Office has published a list of individuals banned from entering the UK since October:

Savage "Jacqui Smith, the home secretary, said she decided to make public the names of 16 people banned since October for fostering extremism so others could better understand the behaviour Britain was not prepared to tolerate.

Smith told GMTV: '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.'"

Among them are Westboro Baptist Church's Fred Phelps and Shirley Phelps-Roper: "Pastor and leading spokesperson of Westboro baptist church. Considered
to be engaging in unacceptable behaviour by fostering hatred which
might lead to inter-community violence in the United Kingdom."

Also banned is radio host Michael Savage: "Controversial daily radio host. Considered to be engaging in
unacceptable behaviour by seeking to provoke others to serious criminal
acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence."

Full list here.
