Britain Publishes List of People Not Allowed To Enter: Michael Savage On It
After the British government told Dutch MP Geert Wilders he was not allowed to enter the country because he would be too devisive a figure, Jacqui Smith said she would compile a complete list with “unwanted persons” to show that Britain wasn’t giving into demands from extremists.
Like talk radio show host Michael Savage.
No joke.
“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…
“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.
Fantastic. Labor once again shows its true colors. Its goal is not to protect the British people again violence, it is to protect them against “unwanted ideas.”
Unwanted ideas, of course, are ideas Labor disagrees with.
You have to wonder how long it takes before former President George W. Bush will be declared “least wanted person #17.”
Now don’t get me wrong. Savage is an impolite, rude, obnoxious, intolerant man who discriminates against people for their faith and who purposefully tries to insult them. I do not feel any need to defend him personally. In fact, I have little appreciation for what he does.
But that is not what this is about. This is about the freedom of speech, and people’s freedom to listen to whom they please. Savage may not be the most friendly person in the world, but being unfriendly is not a crime.
It surely has become clear in recent years why “1984″ was written by a Brit, no?
From what I’ve read about her, nothing new for Jacqui Smith. A true authoritarian she seems to be.
“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…”
Imagine this, or something like this coming from the lips of any of our recent Presidents, and make it about illegals entering the US
My point being, that as long as the liberal groupthink thought police think it is ok to hold these “you may not pass” beliefs, then they feel this is fine. But Those same liberals (and liberal media) would cry foul the minute these same words are applied to upholding standing immigrations laws here in the US.
